Sungrow signs 1.7 GWh battery supply deal to target Australian business customers

Chinese solar inverter and battery provider Sungrow has signed major Australian distribution agreements to supply 1.7GWh of its energy storage systems to Australian businesses over the next three years.

The agreements have been signed with two wholesale distributors in two different states, a 1 GWh contract with Raystech in Queensland and 700 MWh with Solar Juice in NSW.

“The C&I storage market in Australia is set for significant growth in the upcoming future, driven by the country’s strong commitment to renewable energy and a sustainable future,” said Renxian Cao, Sungrow chairman.

“Sungrow is dedicated to supporting Australia’s energy transition in partnership with Raystech and Solar Juice. Our tailored solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of the Australian market, and we will keep providing technical expertise, local support, and exceptional service to accelerate Australia’s shift to renewable energy.”

The new supply agreements will also support Raystech’s efforts to enhance its C&I project capabilities and allow Solar Juice to remain focused on customised solutions for small- and medium-sized C&I clients.

“Raystech has strengthened its partnership with Sungrow, not only on residential inverters and batteries but now expanded to commercial projects,” said Mark Miao, CEO of Raystech.

“Sungrow has been a key supplier over the past three years for both residential inverters and batteries,” added Rami Fedda, co-founder and supply director of Solar Juice.

“Solar Juice has always held a significant market share in distributing commercial inverters for Australia’s C&I Rooftop market, with the majority in recent times being Sungrow products. It made perfect sense for Solar Juice to also offer Sungrow’s commercial battery storage solutions.

“This will further strengthen our relationship and drive more volume.”
