Hefei, China / August 1, 2016 – Sungrow, the world’s largest PV inverter manufacturer, officially announced that it issued 120 million additional shares-raising US$400 million of additional capital with goals of strengthening its solar core business.

Under this new stock offering, Sungrow is expected to reinforce its financial strength, reduce financial risk, and optimize the company’s financial structure. The US$400 million raised in equity capital will enable Sungrow to increase investment in R&D and deepen the company’s focus on innovation related to its PV inverter and energy storage lineups, which already have demonstrated significant technical advantages over those of competing firms in the solar industry. In addition, Sungrow is expected to introduce an industry-changing product lineup in the coming year which many expect will significantly increase the company’s global deployments and further drive growth into new industry verticals.
