Sungrow Presents PowerMatrix™ at Intersolar Europe 2026, Enabling Native PV-Storage Integration
MUNICH, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As solar PV rapidly emerges as a major power source in the global energy mix, power systems are facing increasing pressure to balance supply and demand while ensuring stability under highly dynamic operating conditions. Conventional PV-storage systems, however, were not designed to effectively manage this level of variability and complexity.
To address this challenge, Sungrow introduces PowerMatrix™ at Intersolar Europe 2026 — a next-generation energy system built on five core innovations, including multi-port topology, native PV-storage integration, distributed control, reconfigurable energy paths, and source-level grid-forming. PowerMatrix delivers source-level stability while maximizing the efficiency and economic performance of utility-scale PV projects.
System-Level Optimization for Lower LCOE
PowerMatrix moves beyond single-equipment optimization, enabling coordinated system-level optimization across the entire PV-storage architecture. Through integrated equipment design, simplified engineering, and flexible capacity configuration, it reduces BOS costs by over 10% while improving efficiency across the energy value chain from generation to consumption. Combined, these cost and efficiency gains significantly reduce LCOE.
In a reference system designed for 1 GW of rated grid connection capacity, 8 GWh of installed ESS capacity, and 3,000 annual full-load operating hours in China, the PowerMatrix reduces total CAPEX by approximately $120 million compared to a conventional AC-coupled architecture, with savings across substation & transmission cable, ESS equipment, PV equipment, and other system components.
End-to-End Efficiency Boost: +5% System Energy Yield
Traditional PV-storage systems typically optimize individual components or localized segments, leading to efficiency losses across multiple stages of the energy flow and limiting overall system performance. PowerMatrix addresses this challenge through end-to-end optimization across the full energy value chain, from generation to consumption.
From Compensated Stability to Inherent Stability
Unlike conventional PV-storage systems that rely on external balancing resources for stable operation, PowerMatrix embeds stability at the generation-unit level, enabling a stable power supply and enhanced grid-support capabilities.
Leveraging these system-level advantages, PowerMatrix delivers optimized performance and adaptability across utility-scale, commercial and industrial (C&I), microgrids, and AI data center applications. It enables key capabilities for next-generation power systems, including multi-source integration, bidirectional power flow, flexible dispatch, and high system reliability.
