While the company is yet to release its Corporate Social Responsibility report covering 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sungrowpower.com\/sites\/default\/files\/Sungrow%202018%20CSR%20Report.pdf\">the 2018 report<\/a> indicated Sungrow&#8217;s cumulative rooftop solar power capacity at the end of that year was 4.55 MW.<\/p>\n<p>At a very rough guesstimate, 4.55MW could generated around 6.6 gigawatt hours of electricity a year. It&#8217;s not clear how much other renewable energy is in the company&#8217;s supply mix at this point.<\/p>\n<h2>Sungrow&#8217;s Energy Use<\/h2>\n<p>The 2018 report noted total electricity consumption across the firm&#8217;s various divisions grew from 15,879,377 kilowatt-hours in 2017 to 32,853,482 kilowatt hours; so 32.85 gigawatt hours. It notes rising electricity consumption was largely attributable to activities associated with what was its new business of manufacturing floating systems, which accounted for 13,812,030 kilowatt-hours of consumption. One of the more recent &#8220;floatovoltaic&#8221; projects the company was involved with was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/longi-floating-solar-mb1429\/\">100MW facility<\/a> in China\u2019s Hunan Province.<\/p>\n<p>Sungrow&#8217;s core business has also seen significant growth. We recently mentioned Sungrow inverter shipments in 2019 reached 17.1GW. International shipments accounted for 9GW of that total, jumping 87.5%. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/inverters\/sungrow-review.html\"> Sungrow inverters<\/a> have been quite popular here in Australia given their features, reliability and pricing point.<\/p>\n<p>Around 200 big companies have signed on to the RE100 initiative; including IKEA, Adobe, Bloomberg, eBay and Google. Other major Chinese solar manufacturers to join RE100 are panel manufacturers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/longi-renewable-energy-mb1445\/\">Longi<\/a>, which has also pledged 100% renewables by 2028, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/jinko-solar-review.html\">JinkoSolar<\/a>, which committed to achieving 100% by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The reliance on coal and gas power to produce solar energy components has long been a thorny topic, even though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solar-energy-payback-myth-mb1409\/\">energy payback on solar power systems<\/a> is achieved within just a couple of years. As more manufacturers shift to renewables, energy payback and its relationship to fossil fuels will become one less myth that continually needs busting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China&#8217;s Sungrow, one of the world&#8217;s largest manufacturers of solar inverters, has pledged to switch to 100% renewable energy for its electricity requirements by 2028.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":40212,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[678],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40211","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-solar-battery-news","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Sungrow Commits To 100% Renewable Electricity - SolarQuotes Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"China&#039;s Sungrow, one of the world&#039;s largest manufacturers of solar inverters, has pledged to switch to 100% renewable energy by 2028.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sungrow-renewable-energy-mb1544\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sungrow Commits To 100% Renewable Electricity\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"China&#039;s Sungrow, one of the world&#039;s largest manufacturers of solar inverters, has pledged to switch to 100% renewable energy by 2028.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sungrow-renewable-energy-mb1544\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"SolarQuotes Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SolarQuotes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-05-31T19:53:56+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sungrow-renewable-energy.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"630\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Michael Bloch\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@solar_quotes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sungrow-renewable-energy-mb1544\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sungrow-renewable-energy-mb1544\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Michael Bloch\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/66afd571aa00c2e442f0192ebac2f6f1\"},\"headline\":\"Sungrow Commits To 100% Renewable Electricity\",\"datePublished\":\"2020-05-31T19:53:56+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sungrow-renewable-energy-mb1544\/\"},\"wordCount\":400,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/sungrow-renewable-energy-mb1544\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/sungrow-renewable-energy.jpg\",\"articleSection\":[\"General Solar &amp;
