Sungrow Donates Inverters to Brazil's Unicamp to Support Solar Energy Research

Sao Paolo, Brazil, August 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, a globally leading provider of PV inverters and energy storage systems, has joined forces with MTR Solar, Risen, and VGR Energy to donate a solar power plant to Unicamp (State University of Campinas), a top-tier research and educational institution in Latin America. The contribution aims to support clean energy innovation across the region.

As part of this collaboration, Sungrow supplied its high-efficiency 20kW PV inverter for the installation. The solar plant will function as an active laboratory for applied research, technological innovation, and hands-on training, allowing faculty and students to perform experimental analyses on factors influencing the performance and durability of solar power systems—including operational, environmental, and technical aspects.

The research outcomes are expected to drive improvements in system design, material selection, and structural support, contributing to more efficient and cost-effective solar energy solutions tailored to the Brazilian climate.

“This initiative highlights our continued dedication to promoting sustainability, innovation, and talent development in Brazil,” said Rafael Ribeiro, Country Manager of Sungrow Brazil. “By backing academic research and clean energy education, we are not only enhancing the local solar ecosystem but also paving the way for a more sustainable future.” Through established local operations and reliable partnerships, Sungrow remains committed to supporting Brazil’s energy transition.

As Brazil gears up to host COP30 in Belém later this year, this partnership highlights the country’s expanding leadership in global climate action and the critical role of academia-industry cooperation. True to its mission “Clean power for all,” Sungrow is focused on nurturing local expertise and advancing sustainable innovation through projects that integrate research, education, and practical implementation. The company recently earned an AAA MSCI ESG Rating, reaffirming its strong performance in environmental, social, and governance standards.
