The new units include the IDC180E, a 180kW integrated DC fast charger, and AC22E-01, which is a 22kW AC residential and commercial charger.
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.
Based on the technological development and platform architecture of the more than 2,000 already installed 120 kW DC Chargers, the new European version, the IDC180E, adopts Sungrow's first integrated technical solution. PV inverters and C&I ESS solutions can easily be integrated with this fast-charging station of 180 kW.
Sungrow says that by selecting cutting-edge semiconductor devices such as silicon carbide, as well as by using a matchless topological design, the device achieves a system efficiency of up to 96%. This maximises energy utilisation and reduces energy consumption at charging stations throughout the whole lifetime.
Meanwhile, the 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 maximise the utilisation of PV energy and save 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, maximising the use of power capacity.
In addition, both EV chargers can be integrated with PV and battery systems to maximise the use of green electricity through batteries at peak prices, making charging more economical and environmentally friendly.
