Sungrow has announced that its PowerTitan 3.0 ESS has received the prestigious smarter E award in the Energy Storage category during the recently concluded Intersolar Europe. The smarter E awards are known as the “Oscars of the energy industry”, with PowerTitan 3.0 standing out among products from a number of leading energy storage exhibitors worldwide and being the only Chinese brand to win an award in this year’s storage category.
Ahead of the Munich event, Sungrow secured the world’s first giga-scale 24/7 solar-storage project in Abu Dhabi, a 7.5 GWh order with Masdar, with the company forecasting delivery of 10 GWh of PowerTitan 3.0 across Europe during 2026.
The smarter E recognition underscores Sungrow’s innovation, with PowerTitan 3.0 designed to address the evolving needs of utility-scale energy storage, while delivering exceptional performance across efficiency, safety and deployment speed.
With a 99.3% power conversion efficiency and 92% round-trip efficiency, PowerTitan 3.0 minimizes energy loss in every cycle, with a 1 GWh project generating up to EUR 16 million in additional revenue over a 20-year project lifetime. Its stacked battery cell design reduces the risk of overheating and short circuits and, combined with self-monitoring, the system predicts thermal risks with a warning accuracy of over 99%, helping ensure reliable operation.
Factory pre-assembled and pre-tested, PowerTitan 3.0 significantly shortens installation time, with a 1 GWh project able to be grid-connected in as little as 12 days.
Sungrow continues to empower homes and businesses with faster, safer and more efficient energy storage solutions. Roger Li, GM Utility-Scale Product Line, commented: “With more than 1,200 technical service engineers, 400 authorized service providers and 520 service outlets across the world, with major service centres in Munich and Pamplona, we are not just selling into this market — we are part of it.”
Looking ahead, Sungrow believes the next generation of energy storage innovation must create value across increasingly diverse scenarios. With PowerTitan 3.0 and its growing global service infrastructure, the company is turning that vision into operational reality.
