SOFAR Storage Solutions Seeks To Repeat Success In European C&I Market

SOFAR Storage Solutions Ready to Take European C&I Market to Next Level

SOFAR, a global leading provider of all-scenario PV & ESS solutions, marked presence at the BNEF London Summit. Together with Nelson Nsitem, energy storage analyst from BNEF, both parties jointly held the roundtable “Exploring Possibilities and Overcoming Barriers: C&I Energy Storage in Europe” where industry experts exchange perspectives on C&I energy storage in Europe.

SOFAR, with its advanced solar + storage solutions, has launched its microinverter system PowerNano, C&I ESS PowerIn and PowerMagic and fully self-developed utility ESS PowerMaster, marking a milestone of SOFAR’s comprehensive range of all-scenario PV & ESS solutions covering residential, C&I and utility applications.

Especially, there has been a significant increase in the demands for energy storage solutions in C&I installations in Europe, and SOFAR PowerIn comes at the right time. Designed for small-scale C&I projects, the DC-coupled solution features pack-level active balancing, promises to increase the usable battery energy by 5% and can maximize the rooftop value for end-users. Consisting of PV inverter, battery optimizer and BESS, PowerIn is suitable for business owners and building owners with existing solar installations. When it comes to larger C&I projects, SOFAR PowerMagic offers modular design supporting PCS parallel connection and flexible system expansion, as well as lower LCOS by virtue of the compatibility with 320Ah cells. The AC-coupled solution is also equipped with 3+2 safety system, which ensures more stable operation and a longer service life.
