Chinese solar manufacturing giant JinkoSolar says its SunGiga all-in-one energy storage system for commercial and industrial (C&I) applications has been independently verified to meet Australian standards.
Having already delivered 30 SunGiga units to customers across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria – and with plans to expand into South and Western Australia – Jinko is pushing the new battery as the “ideal solution” for businesses wishing to go big on solar storage.
“Back in 2014, we started with small 30kW commercial systems, but today, 300kW systems are becoming a common sight on rooftops across the country,” said Dan Su, head of Jinko ESS ANZ.
“As we step into a new era of energy storage…our mission is to help businesses access more affordable and cost-efficient renewable energy solutions, driving growth and paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future.”
SunGiga was independently verified to meet key Australian standards including AS3000, AS3008, AS5139, and AS4777.
Key features of the 215kWh SunGiga cabinet include 100kW Clean Energy Council-approved power conversion system (PCS) and a 1-second frequency control ancillary services (FCAS) capability.
The SunGiga system is backed by a comprehensive local service infrastructure which includes a dedicated services centre in Sydney, a large pre- and after-sales technical team, and a countrywide network of service partners.
Compliance for the SunGiga system came a day before Jinko announced that it had filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the local Australian subsidiary of Chinese solar peer Longi.
Following hot on the heels of similar steps taken in China and Japan, the lawsuit is reportedly part of the company’s “dedication to safeguarding our advancements in solar technology.”
“We remain steadfast in our pursuit of innovation and the defense of our industry-leading patents,” the company added, without providing any further details.
