“The SG750/800MX inverters represent the culmination of over 10 years and 4GW of experience in the utility PV market, as well as years of market and technology research and development specific to the United States. The feedback we’ve received this morning has been very positive, both with regards to the features that utilities and developers want and need, and also to the price, which is the most competitive in the United States,”said Raymond Wong, Sungrow’s VP, who was at the official unveiling on Tuesday.
