Sungrow EV Charging Released New Chargers in Europe

Sungrow showcased its brand-new EV charging solutions, IDC180E, which is 180kW Integrated DC Fast Charger, and AC22E-01, which is a 22kW AC Residential & Commercial Charger, at the Intersolar Europe in Munich on June 15. 

Based on 26 years of experience in power electronics, the two new chargers combine industrial-grade quality with a home appliance-grade user experience for full cycle reliability, optimal efficiency and whole-process user-friendliness. At present, Sungrow offers a series of EV Chargers ranging from 7kW AC to 180kW DC which can cover various scenarios from residential, and semi-public to public. 

Full Cycle Reliability 

Relying on the world’s top supply chain, advanced product quality management system and leading product design, the reliability of the two new products is fully guaranteed. The new EV chargers have an IP65 high protection level, multiple types of protections, long service lifetime, long-term and consistent operation, fearless of sand, dust, high humidity, salt, fog and other types of harsh outdoor environments, so they can meet the needs of office areas, commercial centres, gas stations, railway stations, airports and other scenarios allover Europe. 

Optimal Efficiency 

Based on the technological development and platform architecture of the more than 2,000 already installed 120 kW DC Chargers, the new European version with 180 kW DC, the IDC180E, adopts Sungrow’s first integrated technical solution. PV inverters and C&I ESS solution can easily be integrated with this fast charging station of 180 kW. 

By selecting cutting-edge semiconductor devices such as silicon carbide, as well as by using a unique topological design it achieves a system efficiency of up to 96%, maximizing energy utilization and reducing energy consumption at charging stations throughout the whole lifetime. 

AC22E-01 is equipped with an automatic phase-switching function. When the PV output power is more than 4.3 kW, the system enables a three-phase charging mode. When the PV output power is low, the system automatically switches to single-phase charging to maximize the utilization of PV energy and saves electricity costs. When multiple vehicles charge at the same time, dynamic load management (DLM) technology is used to allocate charging power to keep the power limit while charging multiple electric vehicles simultaneously, maximizing the use of power capacity. 

In addition, both EV chargers can be integrated with PV and battery systems to maximize the use of green electricity through batteries at peak prices, making charging more economical and environmentally friendly.
