• PV inverter and energy storage systems provider Sungrow has announced partnerships with two local distributors for its products.
• It has signed agreements with Herholdt’s and ARB to provide a wide range of products and services in South Africa.
• The company aims to leverage the partnerships to help expand its green power offerings in SA.

In March this year energy solution provider Sungrow made its presence better known in South Africa by showcasing an extensive range of products it aimed to bring into the country to address the power woes that have been experienced by most (it not all) citizens over more than a decade.

Now the company is further improving its efforts by announcing the signing of agreements with two local distributors – Herholdt’s and ARB Electrical Wholesalers.

“The signing ceremony marked the commencement of an official distribution agreement, whereby Sungrow is committed to providing a comprehensive range of products and services to these esteemed partners,” the company shared in a release with Hypertext.

“This diverse offering comprises inverter and storage solutions tailored for residential and commercial & industrial applications. Additionally, Sungrow will offer extended support and comprehensive after-sales services to ensure smooth operations and optimal performance of the installed systems,” it added.

“ARB is proud to announce our distribution agreement with Sungrow. We have always strived to offer our customers the most advanced and reliable renewable energy solutions. Sungrow’s commitment to innovation and excellence aligns perfectly with our own values, making them an ideal partner,” enthused Blayne Burke, CEO of ARB (pictured above).

“Together, we aim to drive the adoption of sustainable energy alternatives in South Africa and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future,” he added.

“The continuous decline in solar photovoltaic (PV) panel and battery prices is expected to unleash an unprecedented surge in the adoption of solar energy among residential and commercial users in South Africa. Herholdt’s is delighted to extend our partnership with Sungrow as well,” noted Heine Herholdts (pictured above), CEO of Herholdt’s.

“Over the past year, we have seen the demand for Sungrow’s inverters and energy storage systems grow significantly, thanks to their excellent performance and reliability. We are committed to continuing our efforts in promoting and distributing Sungrow’s products, ensuring that South African customers have access to the most advanced renewable energy technology,” he explained.

While the company has operated in South Africa for a number of years now, it looks like 2024 is the year that it truly looks to make inroads as far as bringing more residential, commercial, and industrial solutions to market.

“Many families and enterprises have been utilizing Sungrow products and have expressed immense satisfaction with their performance. We eagerly anticipate collaborating with Herholdt’s and ARB to expand our green power offerings in South Africa,” highlighted Thompson Meng, VP of Sungrow storage BG.
