For owners, process specialists and energy engineers

Select Sungrow for your priority production area

Backup power for manufacturing

Define the process to support, the acceptable interruption and recovery sequence. We select Sungrow using workshop demand, allowing for a generator, solar or grid charging.

From equipment to a production objective

Which area needs support?

Continued operation and a controlled stop are different tasks. Agree the required outcome with process specialists and equipment manufacturers.

Metalworking and CNC

Check machines, auxiliary drives, cooling and controllers. Agree permitted interruption and stop or restart procedures for the actual line.

Polymer processes

Identify circulation, cooling, controls and agreed drives. Assess electrical and thermal needs separately with the process specialist.

Packaging and late shifts

Assess packaging machines, feeding, compressed air and records. For operation after the solar peak, verify actual surplus and battery charge.

Building materials, glass and ceramics

Identify electrical areas, controls and drives. Their backup is not equivalent to supplying every thermal process or furnace.
An agreed engineering brief

Tie backup to the workshop’s task

Describe outage behaviour, responsibility and acceptance criteria. Equipment procurement then has a verifiable production objective.

A clear priority

Identify the line or unit to support first. Check dependencies on compressors, pumps, cooling and control networks.

Verified starting demands

Running demand does not reveal every short peak. Include simultaneous starts and possible restart sequencing.

Protected reserve

Daily storage use must not consume the emergency reserve without control. Agree minimum charge and mode priorities.

A testable result

Define tests for grid loss, source transfer, agreed operation or stopping, and return to the normal shift.

Design around the process

From permitted interruption to backup mode

Energy needs and transfer design depend on the actual process. Storage can operate without solar when charging is available.

01. Define line behaviour

For each unit, specify continued operation, auxiliary support or a controlled stop. Record permitted interruptions.

02. Measure the workshop profile

Measure demand, starts and energy per shift. Assess seasonal peaks and simultaneous machinery separately.

03. Coordinate the sources

Check grid supply, generator, controls, UPS and solar. Protection and controls must support the agreed islanded mode.

04. Confirm recharge and reserve

Define charging between outages. Include losses and emergency charge when assessing tariff operation or solar surplus shifting.

Continuous controllers and sensitive equipment may need a separate UPS. Engineering checks and commissioning tests confirm suitability for the agreed backup mode.

Power and energy serve different purposes

Compare Sungrow against workshop demand

Assess PowerStack for a defined compatible group and PowerTitan for larger scale. Demand profiles and electrical design determine the choice, not the industry label alone.

Sungrow PowerStack 255CS-2H

Sungrow PowerStack 255CS-2H

Rated AC output
125 kW
Nominal battery capacity
257 kWh

PowerStack ST255CS-2H: nominal 125 kW and 257 kWh. Consider for an agreed area after checking loads, starts and transfer requirements.

Sungrow PowerStack 510CS-4H

Sungrow PowerStack 510CS-4H

Rated AC output
125 kW
Nominal battery capacity
514 kWh

PowerStack ST510CS-4H: nominal 125 kW and 514 kWh. Compare a larger energy reserve at the same nominal power.

Sungrow PowerTitan 2.0 ESS

Sungrow PowerTitan 2.0 ESS

Output depends on configuration
up to 2.5 MW
Nominal battery capacity
5,015 kWh

5,015 kWh nominal capacity. Configurations up to 2,500 kW (2h) or 1,250 kW (4h) describe the specified system variant, not guaranteed site backup duration.

Assess PowerTitan 2.0 for larger industrial demand. The project defines connections, voltage conversion, sources and protection.

Nominal specifications do not establish continuity for a particular manufacturing cycle.

Kilowatts for running and starting

Compare simultaneous demand, short starts and the selected configuration’s capabilities. Adjust starting order where appropriate.

Kilowatt-hours for the process

Calculate energy over the agreed period, including losses and available charge. More energy cannot replace required power.

Integration into the plant

Define connections, foundations, protection, routes and service access. Coordinate installation windows with production.

A budget tied to the production task

What belongs in your area’s solution?

Compare quotations using the same process mode and work boundaries. Include required integration as well as the battery.

Current plant operation

Collect bills, profiles, generator costs and substantiated downtime effects. Check tariff scheduling against the electricity supply contract.

Implementation and operation

Equipment, connections, controls, enabling works, installation, tests and service. Define machine or process-line modifications separately.

Economics include losses, battery life and backup priority. Do not assume lower tariffs, defect-free output or payback without substantiated data.

Scenarios for this shift and the next

Define the backup operating boundary

A plant may need one area or several connected processes supported. Assess each option separately.

Priority production line

Back up agreed drives, controls and auxiliary systems. Check every unit needed to perform the required operation.

Controlled stopping

Support agreed cycle completion, circulation or cooling. Process specialists and equipment requirements determine the sequence.

Solar surplus for a late shift

Check available generation, charging and evening demand. Account for the emergency reserve before scheduling daily use.

New workshop and peak season

Assess extra machines, simultaneous loads and connections. Coordinate preparation, installation and testing with the production calendar.
From engineering discussion to commissioning

Commission against agreed operating modes

The energy engineer, process specialist and operator help define the brief and accept the result.

Materials for an engineering meeting

A presentation for your production task

Describe output, the priority area and available measurements. We clarify these before preparing a solution.

Process and backup criteria

Required line behaviour, permissible interruptions, auxiliary systems and questions for machine manufacturers.

Configuration and delivery

Sungrow comparison, source integration, work boundaries and commissioning scenarios. Tie specifications and budget to the brief.

Production team questions

What should be checked before selection?

An industry name cannot determine transfer requirements, power demand or safe process completion.

Can we back up only a priority production area?

Yes, after checking its dependencies. Compressors, cooling, feeding and controls may sit outside the line itself. Define scope by the required function, not just the workshop boundary.

Will CNC continue operating through an outage?

That depends on allowable interruption, controller and drive supply, and machine manufacturer requirements. Agree continued operation or controlled stopping and test the scenario. Storage alone does not guarantee cycle preservation.

What needs backup in polymer manufacturing?

The process specialist identifies cooling, circulation, controls and drives, and the behaviour of the thermal process. Do not include every heater automatically. Check electrical scope and permitted interruptions.

Can the solution support packaging?

Assess actual packaging machines, feeding, compressed air, records and dependencies. A late shift may use verified solar surplus. Measurements and an emergency reserve are required.

Does backup cover furnaces and the entire materials plant?

Only if explicitly calculated and agreed. Control or drive backup does not supply all thermal needs. Glass, ceramics and other materials require their own process brief.

How can storage work with a generator?

Use the actual model, wiring and controls. Check transfers, protection, charging and permitted interaction. Parallel operation requires confirmed compatibility.

Can the system work without solar?

Yes, if suitable grid charging or an agreed alternative source is available. Check whether the reserve can be restored between required backup periods.

Will the battery replace UPS?

Not automatically. Check allowable interruptions for sensitive controllers and networks. Where continuous power is required, design appropriate UPS arrangements coordinated with storage.

How can daily tariff operation preserve emergency charge?

Define minimum charge and backup priority. Assess daily cycling using the supply contract, demand, losses and battery life. Economic scheduling must remain compatible with the agreed backup task.

How should we choose PowerStack or PowerTitan?

Use simultaneous power, starts, process energy and connection design. More energy does not automatically mean more power. The 2h and 4h specifications are not workshop runtime guarantees.

How are installation, warranty and service agreed?

Define the location, foundations, cables, access and production windows. The contract specifies works, tests, warranties, service and responsibility for adjacent equipment. Check placement against manufacturer requirements.

Which data is needed for the technical meeting?

Production type, location, drawings, machine list, demand profile, starts and permitted interruptions. Add generator and solar data, bills, expansion plans and a process specialist contact.
