Sungrow

HEFEI – October 21, 2026 -- Sungrow's PowerTitan 3.0 battery energy storage system contained a thermal runaway event that reached 1259.8°C without spreading to adjacent containers or a medium-voltage substation, becoming the first stacked-cell BESS with an AC-block design to complete a large-scale fire test under UL 9540A: 2026 and CSA/ANSI C800-2025.

UL Solutions conducted the test. Fire Risk Alliance witnessed it and Jensen Hughes observed it. All three PowerTitan generations, 1.0 through 3.0, passed their large-scale fire tests on the first attempt.

Test layout replicated a utility-scale installation with 28.56 MWh of storage

The setup mirrored a block-level utility-scale layout. It included 28.56 MWh of fully liquid-cooled PowerTitan 3.0 units and a 7.4 MW medium-voltage substation. PowerTitan 3.0 combines stacked high-energy-density cells and the DC/AC power converter unit in a single 20-foot container.

Munich – – September 30, 2026 -- Germany's day-ahead power prices spiked to around €210/MWh during summer heatwaves this year, levels typically seen only in winter, according to LSEG data cited by Reuters, even as the same market recorded 573 hours of negative wholesale prices in 2025.

Heat and oversupply pushed Europe's power market to opposite extremes within hours

Rising cooling demand collided with reduced nuclear output caused by high river temperatures and low water levels, while weak wind conditions and lower thermal efficiency tightened supply further. Hours later, the same grids faced the reverse problem: too much electricity. The International Energy Agency found negative-price hours accounted for roughly 6% of the year in 2025 across Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands.

Amsterdam – September 23, 2026 -- Sungrow brought its all-in-one residential energy storage system, PowerHarbor, to the Benelux market for the first time at a dealer event that drew roughly 150 installers, distribution partners and VPP integrators.

Netherlands' net-metering exit reshapes storage economics

The Dutch government will end net metering on January 1, 2027, raising the value of self-consumption for solar households across the country. Dynamic electricity pricing and grid constraints are pushing installers and homeowners to prioritize when energy is used and stored rather than simply how much is generated.

Hefei, China – September 19, 2026 -- Sungrow has become the first company to controllably reproduce and suppress wideband oscillation at a real-world 500 MW solar-plus-storage plant in Qinghai, China, addressing a grid-stability risk that has previously caused multi-month outages and mass disconnections in Europe.

Past oscillation events cost utilities months of downtime and millions of users

In 2014, Germany's BorWin1 offshore HVDC project suffered oscillations at 250-350 Hz that damaged filter capacitors and forced a shutdown lasting roughly six months. In 2019, the Hornsea offshore wind farm in the UK experienced subsynchronous oscillation that triggered widespread disconnection, wiping out about 3.2% of system load and affecting roughly one million users.

Mexico City – September 10, 2026 -- Sungrow will convene two flagship Latin America energy summits this fall, gathering government officials, utilities, EPCs, and developers to address grid modernization and storage deployment across the region.

Mexico Summit Set for September 10 Targets Local Grid Needs

The Sungrow Summit North LATAM Mexico 2026 will take place September 10 at Casino Campo Marte in Mexico City. Technical sessions will cover Grid-Forming technology, the PowerTitan 3.0 energy storage system, the new SG510HX solution, next-generation modular inverters, and Long-Term Service Agreements tailored to Mexican market requirements.

Chile Event Follows October 22 in Santiago

Sungrow Summit Chile 2026 will convene October 22 at Centro de Eventos Hilaria in Santiago, focusing on challenges specific to Chile's renewable energy and storage market, which the company describes as among the most dynamic in Latin America.

Da Nang – September 09, 2026 -- Sungrow has launched its next-generation MGTL Series three-phase hybrid inverters across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, targeting homes and businesses seeking integrated solar-plus-storage systems.

New series spans 10 kW to 25 kW for residential and commercial use

The MGTL Series combines solar generation and energy storage into a single system, supporting a power range of 10 kW to 25 kW. Sungrow positions the launch as a tool to help users maximize solar utilization, strengthen backup resilience, and simplify installation across multiple regions.

Beijing – September 08, 2026 -- Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA) is developing more than 1.8 GW of wind capacity in Egypt while breaking ground on a new energy storage manufacturing facility, deepening its role in the country's renewable energy buildout.

Wind portfolio exceeds 1.8 GW across three projects in the Gulf of Suez and Ras Ghareb

The company's operational and under-construction wind assets include the 500MW Amunet Gulf of Suez Wind Project, now fully online, alongside the 1.1GW Gulf of Suez Wind Project and the 202.5MW Ras Ghareb Wind Project, both currently under construction. During Amunet's build, POWERCHINA managed temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, strong winds and sand erosion by adjusting concrete-pouring schedules and monitoring wind speeds during turbine installation. The project secured its acceptance certificate ahead of contractual deadline and received the 2025 RoSPA Health and Safety Award.
