Sungrow has secured the top position in Wood Mackenzie’s Global Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Integrator Comprehensive Ranking as well as in Global Solar Inverter Manufacturer Comprehensive Ranking. Assessing global BESS and inverter suppliers based on their performance in 2025, the rankings provide a comprehensive evaluation of critical capabilities, including technology maturity, safety, financial strength, and project execution. This dual recognition highlights Sungrow’s commitment to supporting the development of safe, resilient, and reliable energy infrastructure worldwide through innovative energy solutions.

As energy storage systems become a critical component of modern power infrastructure, investment in the sector continues to accelerate worldwide. Playing an increasingly important role in building safer, more flexible, and resilient power systems, annual battery energy storage installations surpassed 100 GW for the first time in 2025[1],
marking a major milestone for the global industry.

“Wood Mackenzie’s recognition underline Sungrow’s strong position in a rapidly growing global energy market,” said Moritz Rolf, Vice President of Sungrow Europe, responsible for the DACH, Benelux, Nordics and Turkey regions. “As energy projects become larger and more complex, customers increasingly rely on partners that combine advanced technology, proven execution capabilities, and long-term local support.”

ESS Ranking: Supplier’s ability to deliver solutions across the entire project lifecycle

Published for the first time by international research and consultancy firm Wood Mackenzie, the Ranking evaluates the development of the industry and the performance of companies operating across the sector. According to the results, Sungrow, one of the world’s leading clean energy solution providers, ranked first among global BESS integrators. The assessment focuses on factory-assembled, AC-integrated BESS solutions that combine batteries, power conversion systems (PCS), battery management systems (BMS), thermal management, and control systems into a single AC-connected product.

Inverter Ranking: Leading inverter manufacturers balance scale, technology and resilience

Published every half year Wood Mackenzie has built its inverter manufacturer ranking system by carefully analyzing the solar inverter manufacturing industry including but not limited to production capacity, technology, supply volumes, and financial parameters. It focuses on manufacturing experience, capacity utilisation, financial conditions, ESG performance, Aftersales, R&D, and third-party certifications.

Both Rankings: Focus on ESG, RnD and financial stability

The rankings are based on extensive data collection, including vendor surveys, public filings, proprietary databases, and in-depth discussions with manufacturers. Suppliers in both rankings were assessed against 10 key criteria, including technology maturity, R&D investment, safety, vertical integration, supply chain resilience, ESG performance, and financial strength. The rankings serve as an important reference for utilities, independent power producers, and project developers evaluating BESS integrators and PV manufacturers during procurement.

The findings also indicate that buyers are placing increasing emphasis on a supplier’s ability to deliver solutions and services across the entire project lifecycle. Experience and execution capability emerged as key differentiators, reflecting the growing importance of system design, commissioning expertise, and long-term operational performance as energy storage projects become larger and more complex.

Sungrow also received Wood Mackenzie’s Grade A designation based on criteria such as technology maturity, R&D investment, safety, vertical integration, supply chain resilience, ESG performance, and financial strength. The rating highlights the company’s ability to meet demanding performance expectations through its strong R&D capabilities, advanced technologies, extensive industry experience, proven project execution, and financial resilience.

Sungrow: Comprehensive Utility-Scale Energy Solutions

Sungrow delivers comprehensive, safe, and long-lasting solutions designed for increasingly large and complex utility-scale energy storage applications. Also ranked by BloombergNEF as the world’s most bankable PV inverter, energy storage system and PCS brand, the company continues to develop solutions focused on improving system efficiency, safety, and long-term operational performance.

One example: Developed for utility-scale projects, the PowerTitan 3.0 platform addresses large-scale energy storage requirements through flexible configurations and multiple grid-forming options such as blackstart, inertia support or ms-level voltage regulation. It is Pre-installed, pre-commissioned and allows ultra-fast deployment. Powered by PowerTitan 3.0, Sungrow secured the world’s first giga-scale 24/7 solar-storage project in Abu Dhabi, a 7.5 GWh order with Masdar. In 2026, Sungrow estimates delivering 10 GWh of PowerTitan 3.0 across Europe.

Sungrow’s whole energy storage portfolio is supported by advanced safety features, streamlined commissioning, and operations and maintenance services provided throughout the full system lifecycle.

With a strong local presence across Europe, Sungrow combines regional sales, service, and technical support capabilities with global innovation and manufacturing expertise. Across Europe, Sungrow is actively involved in major energy projects, particularly in the United Kingdom, Belgium and Spain. The company is also expanding its global portfolio through high-capacity deployments in the Asia-Pacific region, Middle East region, and Latin Americas. These projects demonstrate Sungrow’s ability to deliver reliable, scalable, and long-term energy solutions across diverse international markets.
