The DG market (distributed generation) in Brazil has shown itself to be resilient, attracting more and more investment from the international photovoltaic industry.
Following this expansion of the segment in the country, the inverter manufacturer Sunrow announced the availability of its latest inverter in the Brazilian market for Brazilian microgeneration power plants.
The manufacturer highlighted that the Brazilian solar energy market has not been significantly impacted due to the Covid-19 crisis, as increased demand for electricity, low interest rates and favorable tariff policies pave the way for sustainable development.
Equipped with 9 MPPTs, the 75 kW inverter can be installed in a variety of commercial photovoltaic systems. Furthermore, the manufacturer states that the equipment is compatible with bifacial modules of more than 600 Wp.
“With a maximum current of 26A and short circuit current of 40A per MPPT, it is prepared to operate with modern modules and those under development with Imp currents above 20A and greater than 600Wp”, explained Ricardo Alonso, Engineering Director at Sungrow Brasil.
“Another major point of difference is the high resistance to corrosivity, meeting grade G5 and the high degree of protection IP66, in addition to 3 DC disconnectors, one for every 3 MPPTs, which enable partial operation of the inverter and maintenance at the same time” , added the expert.
“The product was designed especially for the Brazilian market, without declassification up to 50C ambient temperature and is therefore ideal for use in the North, Northeast, coastal regions and even in sanitation facilities, thanks to the C5 grade”, concluded Alonso.
For Rafael Ribeiro, director of Sungrow Brasil, the launch of the inverter meets the demand for DG (distributed generation), which is growing.
“Sungrow’s presence in the Brazilian market for four years helps in this connection and alignment with customers and their unique needs. The 75 kW inverter is another important solution we have added to the Brazilian distributed generation portfolio, which matches niche demands with an unexpected experience. The product will be available in most of our distribution channels and will additionally contribute to the net carbon planet”, highlighted Ribeiro.
Currently, the company has its Brazilian branch operating in São Paulo, which has an extensive sales team, technical support and after-sales service. The equipment is being distributed by the companies Amara, Fortlev, Edmond and Eletrotrafo.
In Brazil, more than 60 thousand Sungrow inverters have already been implemented in Brazil. In other Latin American markets, the company also made great advances in 2020, such as surpassing 1 GW in shipments in Chile.

Does this equipment have a trafoa attached?
This equipment arrived at a good time, it remains to be done to raise awareness with distributors.
Distributors must have their profits, already guaranteed by law, but they need to be more open to conversation and understanding when a potential customer offers their product (GD).
