India – The global supplier of solar PV and energy storage solutions, SOFAR, has reported a strong market response to its SOFAR 350KTLX0 three-phase utility PV inverter, part of the company’s PowerMega series, which was launched for the Indian market last year. The inverter, designed for large-scale commercial and industrial (C&I) solar installations, has quickly gained traction among EPCs (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction companies), IPPs (Independent Power Producers), and other key stakeholders in India’s renewable energy sector.

The SOFAR 350KTLX0 is engineered to meet the growing demand for high-efficiency, scalable solutions in India’s solar market. With its 8 MPPTs (Maximum Power Point Trackers), supporting up to 60A per MPPT, the inverter is optimized for multi-megawatt solar projects, delivering enhanced energy yields and lower Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). Additionally, its ultra-high current compatibility with 500Wp+ modules ensures adaptability to emerging solar technologies, further increasing its appeal to developers focused on long-term project viability.

Driving India’s Renewable Energy Goals

SOFAR’s new inverter is well-aligned with India’s renewable energy ambitions, particularly Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s target of achieving 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. As India positions itself as a global leader in the clean energy transition, SOFAR has committed to supporting the country’s ambitious goals through technological innovation and localized services.

“By the second half of 2024, SOFAR’s total shipments to India have exceeded 4.5 GW, reflecting our strong commitment to this dynamic market,” said Ms. Sally Wu, from the President’s Office at SOFAR. “In the future, we will continue focusing on expanding our business footprint in India while enhancing our local service support to meet the unique needs of Indian customers.”

Ensuring Compliance with India’s BIS Standards

SOFAR has also reinforced its commitment to the Indian market by obtaining BIS certification (Bureau of Indian Standards), a critical regulatory requirement that ensures the quality and safety of solar power systems in the country. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has mandated that all inverters comply with international standards such as IEC 62109-2:2011 and IEC 62116:2008, both of which SOFAR’s products have achieved.

“We appreciate the Indian government’s focus on product quality through BIS certification,” said Wu. “This regulatory step not only enhances the reliability of solar power systems but also contributes to the long-term growth of the renewable energy sector in India.”

Trusted by Key Industry Players

SOFAR’s PowerMega series, which includes the SOFAR 350KTLX0 inverter and the PSC 100 communication cabinet, has been praised for its high efficiency, reliability, and ease of installation. These attributes make the inverter particularly suited for large-scale utility and C&I projects, where operational efficiency and long-term reliability are paramount.

SOFAR’s strong market presence, combined with its dedication to local technical support, has made it a preferred choice for a variety of customers, including EPCs, IPPs, and C&I developers. Several major projects in the Indian renewable energy sector have already incorporated SOFAR’s inverters, further cementing the company’s reputation as a reliable partner for long-term solar investments.

Key Features of the SOFAR 350KTLX0 Inverter:

• 8 MPPTs with 60A per MPPT: Optimizes power output across multiple power point trackers.
• Ultra-high current compatibility: Supports high-power modules, including those exceeding 500Wp, ensuring a future-proof design.
• Intelligent protection systems: Advanced safety features provide long-term reliability.
• Ease of installation and maintenance: Simplifies operational procedures, lowering costs for large-scale solar projects.
