Overview

Founded in 1997 in Hefei by former university lecturer Cao Renxian, who remains chairman and president, it built its business on solar inverters and then applied the same power-electronics expertise to grid storage. Storage overtook inverters as its largest business in 2025: energy storage system revenue rose 49.4% to RMB37.29B, or 41.8% of a company total of RMB89.18B, on shipments of 43 GWh. Growth reversed through H1 2026: revenue fell 28.99% year over year to RMB30.91B and net profit fell 32.01% to RMB5.26B, though storage revenue crossed 50% of sales and H1 storage shipments rose 28% to 25 GWh against a 60 GWh full-year target. Its flagship PowerTitan 3.0 platform remains the utility-scale core. After unveiling PowerMatrix and PowerHarbor in June 2026, Sungrow brought PowerHarbor to Benelux homes at an Amsterdam event on 23 September 2026 and, on 17 September, signed a framework with be.storaged GmbH for a planned 1.6 GWh of German BESS projects using PowerTitan 3.0. It refiled for a Hong Kong listing on 24 April 2026 to fund overseas manufacturing, including Poland and Egypt (Egypt operations June 2027). As of 5 October 2026 the April application proof remains the posted HKEX document, with no pricing, prospectus registration, or third filing located, so the roughly 24 October six-month window is still open. The 29 September Cambodia EDC Kandal Stueng 108.4 MW / 215.6 MWh grid-forming acceptance is already on the timeline. Shares were about RMB82.49 on 30 September 2026, putting market cap near RMB170B, below the April refiling level.

What's next9

  1. 2026

    Complete the Hong Kong listing

    The application refiled on April 24, 2026 carries a six-month validity, so Sungrow needs to price the deal by around October 2026 or file a third time. Proceeds are earmarked for overseas manufacturing - including new storage factories in Poland (under construction, targeting H1 2027 operation) and Egypt (operations now June 2027) - plus solid-state battery R&D and the new AI-data-center power business. No pricing date had been announced as of September 15, 2026.

  2. 2026

    Scale grid-forming storage across Europe

    The January 2026 Madrid launch put the grid-forming PowerTitan 3.0 in front of European utilities that increasingly need inertia and black-start services, not just energy arbitrage. Sungrow forecasts delivering 10 GWh of PowerTitan 3.0 across Europe in 2026 and won The smarter E AWARD 2026 for the platform, the only Chinese brand to win in the storage category.

  3. 2026

    Navigate the new US inverter import ban

    Following the FCC's July 28, 2026 ban on new imports of Chinese-made grid-connected power inverters, the agency updated its Covered List on August 20, 2026 to exclude inverters eligible for the US Section 45X domestic-manufacturing tax credit. At the H1 briefing Sungrow said it expects a gradual US pullback and is shifting resources to other regions; on September 9, 2026 it was reported to be sourcing Samsung SDI cells so it can keep supplying US storage systems without building a US factory. Existing approved inverter models remain legal to import, but management is treating the US as a shrinking, higher-risk market.

  4. 2026-2027

    Deliver first AI data center power systems under EnerNeo framework agreements

    Following EnerNeo's July 2026 launch, Sungrow said at its H1 briefing that commercial shipments of the solid-state transformers have begun, with about 2 GWh of firm AIDC storage orders and a pipeline above 10 GWh. Framework agreements with HEC Technology (30 MW) and ZDATA (100 MW) remain the named customer anchors; management now expects robust AIDC growth starting in 2027 or 2028 rather than a large 2026 revenue contribution.

  5. Q4 2026

    Develop solid-state batteries with Jinghe Energy

    Jinghe Energy and Sungrow New Energy formally signed their strategic cooperation agreement on April 20, 2026, targeting sulfide-coated electrode materials at 800 Wh/kg energy density for intelligent vehicles, power storage, and eVTOL applications. First-batch engineering samples are targeted to complete vehicle-loading tests in Q4 2026; Jinghe separately aims for large-scale all-solid-state production capacity in 2027.

  2. Sungrow suppresses wideband oscillation at 500 MW plant

    Sungrow said September 17 it reproduced and suppressed wideband oscillation at a 500 MW solar-plus-storage plant in Qinghai, calling it the first controlled field demonstration of the phenomenon at that scale. The company's inverters identified grid strength within 40 milliseconds and used grid-forming control across a short-circuit-ratio range of 1 to 40. Sungrow said the test is meant to keep weak-grid plants from disconnecting, citing past Hornsea and BorWin1 oscillation events.
