Sungrow Europe product manager Federico Feuchter Vazquez, product manager for Sungrow Europe, said DC coupling “takes into account all possible revenue streams in the European market”. That means that the flexibility offered by energy storage is of increasing importance, the trade body said this week. Vazquez said that we are entering an era in which solar PV is not deployable without energy storage, thus making the DC-coupled solution a natural evolution to “enrich” projects. Ken Stewart, senior key account manager at Sungrow UK & Ireland, told Energy-Storage.news this makes PowerTitan 3.0 “very advantageous” in easing concerns in the UK, where grid connection is now contingent on land permitting. Stewart noted that while PowerTitan 2.0, the predecessor product, had grid forming “functionality”, PowerTitan 3.0 has in built “capability”, “to future proof and augment” projects using the hardware.
