Sungrow Wraps European Roadshow at Monza Circuit
At the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Sungrow concluded its 16-stop European tour, gathering industry leaders to address the shifting energy landscape in Italy. The event highlighted the transition of battery storage from a secondary solar accessory to a foundational element for business energy management and grid flexibility.
Sungrow used the Monza sessions to detail specific industrial deployments. For the commercial sector, the PowerStack ST225 and ST455 systems are powering energy communities, such as the Dragone Energy project in Villanova d'Asti, which utilizes a 3,200-kWh storage system to enable evening energy sharing. Meanwhile, for larger infrastructure, the company showcased the PowerKeeper series, now deployed in a 4.15 MWp project by ESPE along the A4 motorway. Massimo Bracchi, Country Manager at Sungrow Italy, noted that businesses are increasingly prioritizing storage to maximize self-consumption and strengthen resilience against the complexities of a decentralized market.
