Sungrow’s latest MG12RL series inverter is designed to allow up to 200% DC/AC oversizing
The company claims that the inverter switches to backup mode within 4 ms of a grid outage, maintaining uninterrupted home applications
It can also support up to 170% overload for up to 10 seconds, helping to run high inductive loads during grid outages
Solar-plus-storage solution provider Sungrow recently expanded its MGRL series hybrid inverter portfolio with the launch of MG12RL.
This 3-phase inverter, which connects a PV array and a battery unit, can deliver up to 12 kW of power, up from the existing model’s 5 kW. On the PV side, it features MPPT channels that can carry up to 20 A and allow up to 200% DC/AC oversizing to maximize solar harvesting throughout the day. It can be integrated with multiple battery models, including MGL060, MBL050, MBL120, and MBL160, to provide a storage capacity of 5 kWh to 16 kWh. The system switches to backup mode within 4 ms of grid outages and provides emergency backup to connected loads. The company notes that the latest inverter supports up to 170% overload for up to 10 seconds during grid outages, helping the uninterrupted operation of high-starting-current inductive loads.
Regarding capacity expansion, up to 8 inverters can be connected in parallel for demands up to 96 kW (AC). In terms of storage, users can connect up to 20 16-kWh batteries, for a cumulative capacity of up to 320 kWh.
From an operational perspective, the inverter maintains its rated power at up to 45°C ambient temperature.
This inverter’s commercialization status was unknown at the time of publication.
