Sungrow unveils its latest C&I energy storage innovation, the PowerKeeper Series, at the Sungrow European C&I ESS Summit held in Italy on 26 November. The Summit gathered over 200 guests, including business leaders, technology partners, and media representatives, to discuss emerging market trends, regulatory developments, and breakthrough technologies shaping the next decade of commercial and industrial energy storage.
As Europe experiences growing demand for flexible, cost-efficient, and low-carbon energy solutions, Sungrow continues to play a key role in the modernization and decarbonization of the continent’s C&I energy landscape.
C&I Energy Storage: A Critical Enabler for Europe’s Sustainable Future
According to Wood Mackenzie, from 2025 to 2034, Europe’s C&I storage capacity is expected to grow 13-fold, reaching 33 GW/77 GWh. Rising retail electricity prices and accelerated solar deployment continue to drive adoption, as businesses increasingly prioritize energy cost control, self-consumption, and operational resilience.
However, C&I storage users are diverse—each with distinct consumption profiles, demand patterns, and financial considerations. This requires project partners to adopt tailored planning and implementation strategies. Having deployed over 200 C&I energy storage projects across Europe, including stand-alone ESS, PV+ESS, and PV+ESS+EV charging applications, Sungrow is well-positioned to support partners navigating this dynamic market.
A Night of Innovation: Unveiling the New C&I PowerKeeper—”Ace “007, Ace Profit”
The Summit provided a platform for in-depth knowledge exchange, featuring expert presentations, case studies, and interactive discussions. Sungrow released the new C&I PowerKeeper series with the concept “Ace 007, Ace Profit.” The C&I PowerKeeper features a one-stop DC-coupled solution with modular design—achieving 0 Waste in both investment and green power utilization, ensuring 0 Outage for C&I electricity consumption, and delivering a hassle-free product experience through 7 Ups across the entire chain. Ultimately, it empowers customers to secure higher and more reliable returns.
Another highlight of the event was the Panel Discussion, featuring Paul Shearin, Managing Director of Innasol Solar (UK); Francesco Del Medico, CEO of Glayx (Italy); Niklas Bark, CTO of Greenflash (DACH); Lennart van Walsum, Director EMEIA & Americas of Global Solar Council; and Robert v. Wahl, Director C&I Distribution at Sungrow Europe. Panelists shared insights on the differing business needs and regulatory frameworks across European markets, identified the most promising growth opportunities, and discussed strategies to ensure effective planning and maximize profitability in C&I ESS projects.
The event also featured compelling case studies. Florian Krauss, Project Development Manager at SUNTEC, presented a project challenged by policy-driven grid connection limits and rising energy demand, where Sungrow delivered an integrated PV + ESS + EV charging solution to enhance flexibility and optimize energy usage. “This is the most common and straightforward solution, offering simplicity in management and a lower initial investment,” he noted. Building on this, Eleonora Potestio, Head of EU Distribution Product Management at Sungrow Europe, also highlighted Sungrow’s commitment to innovation and collaboration in the C&I ESS sector, including a stand-alone ESS project in Italy, and a PV + ESS case in the UK.
Strengthening Partner Support Across Europe
Iakovos Krommydas, head of marketing of Sungrow Europe, presented the company’s end-to-end marketing support framework, including the upgraded Sungrow official global website and an innovative program—Sungrow Power Club—providing technical training, exclusive marketing materials and resources, and priority support.
Additionally, Ignacio Sanchis Gonzalez, Regional Distribution Service Manager, showcased Sungrow’s extensive European service network. With 280+ employees, 2 service centers, 5 repair workshops, 14 service warehouses, and over 220 service partners, Sungrow ensures end-to-end service and deeply localized support throughout Europe.
