Powering the future: Sungrow’s liquid-cooled ST Series for community and C&I energy storage
By Sungrow North America
As renewable energy transforms the grid, energy storage lies at the center of this transition. According to Wood Mackenzie, over the next four years the U.S. community, commercial and industrial (CCI) market is expected to install 2.5 GW of energy storage, with the majority of projects trending towards smaller applications of 500 kWh to 10 MWh. Efficient and reliable energy storage solutions are crucial for maximizing the value of solar energy systems and providing reliable power during emergencies and natural disasters. Sungrow’s ST Series is a Tier-1 energy storage solution specifically designed for the US behind-the-meter CCI market with 480V output.
Sungrow offers two turnkey 250kW energy storage options for the US CCI market, both 2 hour and 4 hour durations, with a 500 kWh or 1 MWh block. The liquid-cooled ST Series extends battery life by an additional two years with 15% higher discharge capacity compared to conventional air-cooled systems, providing incredible energy and cost savings.
With its innovative features and modular design, the liquid-cooled ST Series is the bridge toa sustainable energy future.
Pre-assembled for easy installation
Time is money in the energy sector. The ST Series comes pre-assembled, dramatically reducing installation time and labor costs without any need for underground wiring. This feature allows project managers to deploy energy storage systems faster than ever, helping you get your projects up and running without unnecessary delays. With a focus on efficiency, the ST Series streamlines the setup process with a comprehensive solution, system-level commissioning, and grid-connected pre-simulation, ensuring that you can focus on what matters most—delivering reliable energy solutions to your clients.
Modular design for flexible scaling
Every energy project is unique, and the ST Series recognizes that. Its modular design offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to scale your energy storage capacity according to specific project requirements. Whether you are managing a community solar initiative or an industrial-scale energy solution, the ST Series can be tailored to fit your needs. This adaptability ensures that you can respond effectively to changing energy demands without compromising performance.
Proven performance in real-world applications
Sungrow has a 17-year history of delivering over 10.5 GWh of high-quality energy storage solutions, and the ST Series is no exception. With numerous successful deployments across various CCI projects, notably in several urban energy storage sites in NY — one of the most historically difficult places for energy storage installations — this energy storage system has proven its reliability and efficiency in real-world scenarios. The ST Series not only meets but often exceeds industry standards, ensuring that you can trust it to deliver on your energy goals. The ST Series comes with 5 to 20 year warranties and service level agreements (SLAs) to back up the warranty, response time, and resolution time.
Meets the highest safety standards
The ST Series provides guaranteed safety with rigorous quality control and more stringent safety standards than the North America standard. All units are NFPA855 and UL69 compliant (with optional UL68) and pass the UL 9540A Cell, Module, and Unit test. The ST Series also comes with millisecond-level arc-fault detection to precisely identify and quickly break fault current to reduce damages and provide unbeatable short circuit protection. Sungrow is proud to be one of the few manufacturers that performed a full burndown of a unit and did it live stream with public access to pass with flying colors.
Dependable energy storage for critical power needs
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, nearly one million Americans are still without power a week later, highlighting the importance of reliable energy storage for essential operations. For many CCI applications, keeping essential equipment running during a power outage is vital. Sungrow’s ST Series is designed to meet these challenges by offering CCI clients dependable emergency power backup during grid outages so you can keep the lights on and critical equipment running, no matter the circumstances.
Simple O&M to reduce costs
The ST Series reduces 80% of O&M work, compared to traditional ESS solutions, with quick batch upgrades for all units. The CCI ESS also features intelligent online monitoring, reducing inspections by 30%, and includes dynamic coolant replenishment to eliminate the need for frequent manual refills.
Commitment to sustainability
At Sungrow, sustainability is at the core of our mission. The ST Series not only contributes to energy efficiency but also supports the broader goal of reducing carbon emissions. By integrating this energy storage solution into your solar projects, you are not just investing in technology; you are investing in a sustainable future.
