Sungrow, a global provider of photovoltaic (PV) inverters and energy storage systems, has launched its next-generation MGTL Series three-phase hybrid inverters in Sub-Saharan Africa. 

The MGTL Series covering a power range from 10 kW to 25 kW, integrates solar and energy storage capabilities into a highly integrated solution, helping householders and businesses maximize solar utilisation, strengthen energy resilience, and simplify system deployment.

Higher yields from every solar installation

 As African households and businesses continue to invest in solar to reduce their reliance on the grid and manage electricity costs, making the most of available PV generation is increasingly important.

The MGTL Series features Sungrow’s PID Zero® technology, an ESS PID solution designed to protect PV modules and support long-term system performance. With PV input current of up to 20A per string, compatibility with high-current PV modules and a wide MPPT voltage range, the inverter supports up to 250% PV oversizing.

This enables installers to pair the inverter with larger PV arrays, increasing the potential energy yield from a system and making better use of available rooftop space.

“As solar adoption continues to grow across Sub-Saharan Africa, making the most of every available unit of solar generation is becoming increasingly important. The MGTL Series gives installers greater flexibility to design systems that can maximise PV generation and help customers get more value from their solar investment,” says Nigel Sun, President of Sungrow Sub-Saharan Africa.

Seamless backup when the grid goes down

For  African homes and businesses, backup capability remains an important consideration when investing in an energy system.

The MGTL Series provides 0 ms switching between grid-tied and off-grid modes, allowing connected loads to continue operating during a grid outage. The system supports up to 200% three-phase unbalanced output, a maximum charge and discharge current of 440A, and up to 2.0 times AC overload capacity for 10 seconds.

This allows the system to accommodate demanding residential and commercial loads while providing greater flexibility in designing hybrid solar and storage systems.

Designed to simplify installation

Sungrow has also designed the MGTL Series to streamline installation and improve the user experience.

Fanless operation enables ultra-quiet performance, with noise levels as low as 35 dB(A) on the MG10/12/15TL models. Selected models also feature a 4.3-inch touchscreen for local system monitoring and adjustment.

Equipped with an integrated multi-function port, it enables flexible connections with diesel generators and smart loads, and the bus-bar terminal battery design supports streamlined battery deployment, supporting installers with fast, streamlined system deployment.

These features are particularly relevant for installers managing increasingly sophisticated solar-plus-storage systems across residential and commercial applications.

“As hybrid solar and storage systems become more advanced, installers need solutions that are powerful without adding unnecessary complexity. The MGTL Series combines key functions into a highly integrated platform, helping to simplify installation while giving customers greater flexibility in how they manage their energy,” says Sun.

Safety and durability for demanding environments

As safety remains a top priority for Sungrow, the MGTL series features standard AFCI 3.0R arc-fault detection, covering cable runs up to 200 meters with a 20A detection current, keeping rooftops safe even over long distances and providing early warning against electrical fire risks. Integrating a patented explosion-proof design with dual pressure relief, an IP66 protection rating, and C5 anti-corrosion capability to ensure dependable operation in challenging environments. 

At the same time, the series offers high versatility by seamlessly connecting with Sungrow's MBL120 and MBL160 battery series and an expanding range of third-party battery solutions. Together with the iSolarCloud platform, users and installers gain access to real-time system data and customisable energy management insights within a secure and open ecosystem.

With the launch of the MGTL Series, Sungrow continues to advance residential energy innovation by delivering smarter, safer, and more resilient energy systems for evolving needs.
