With more than 2.5 GW of equipment sold in Brazil, the Chinese manufacturer Sofar Solar brings something new to the Brazilian solar energy market: its all in one solution, launched last month at Intersolar Europe.
Sofar's all-in-one solution is compatible with high current modules, in addition to having a single button to turn off the system and having a low level of consumption in sleep mode.
Other notable features of the equipment are:
- Flexible battery expansion;
- Ease of installation and transport;
- It has a critical load switching time of less than 10 ms and a greater capacity for battery energy availability, due to package optimization.

Sofar's comprehensive portfolio includes string inverters from 1.6 kW up to 255 kW, single-phase 3-6 kW and three-phase hybrid inverters up to 20 kW, battery storage system and smart energy management solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications and on a public service scale. All products have a 10-year warranty.
According to Márcio Santos, commercial manager at Sofar in Brazil, the company updated the inverters to start generation with lower starting voltages and greater performance at operating temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius, which provide around 10% of increased generation and consequently shorter return on investment time.
Furthermore, he highlighted that it allows the use of higher power photovoltaic modules that bring more indirect gains when installing plants.
Technical assistance
With the aim of providing technical support and also offering more security to Brazilian integrators, Sofar recently implemented its technical assistance in Brazil. The service is provided at Avenida Brasil, 1001, in the Distrito Industrial neighborhood, in Mairinque (SP). The technical responsible is engineer Emerson Costa.
The strategy is to serve the DG (distributed generation) segment in a structured way, through partnerships with distributors that operate with a focus on integrators, and in the CG (centralized generation) sector, with the main companies that operate in the segment and aim to the supply of products with excellent cost-benefit, superior performance and delivery within agreed deadlines, generating the best CAPEX for projects.
Suffer in the world
Sofar is present in more than 90 countries, including Australia, Italy, Poland and Germany. In Latin America, the branch is located in Brazil, in the city of São Paulo – which even opened this week at Alameda Santos, 200.
The manufacturer also has a global R&D (research and development) network with three centers and more than 30% of its workforce allocated to R&D. The company's annual growth rate is 86% and the annual production capacity reaches 10 GW for photovoltaic and storage inverters and 1 GWh for batteries.
