Sungrow, a China-based maker of PV inverters and energy storage systems, has struck distribution agreements with Solar Juice, Supply Partners and Raystech Group, which are three of its partners in Australia. The three were signed at All-Energy Australia 2026, held in Melbourne, and Sungrow made them public on 6 November 2026. Taken together, they come to 4 GWh of BESS and 1.5 GW of solar PV.

Solar Juice, an Australian wholesale distributor of solar and energy storage products, has signed the largest of the three agreements, which covers 2.5 GWh of BESS and 500 MW of PV. Of that storage, 2 GWh is to go to homes, while commercial and industrial (C&I) sites are to take the rest.

Supply Partners has expanded its existing cooperation with Sungrow through an agreement for 1 GWh of BESS, along with a further 500 MW of PV. That storage has been divided equally between the residential and C&I segments. Alongside the products, the distributor provides its installation partners with technical assistance, system design support and training.

Raystech Group, a wholesale distributor that operates across Australia and New Zealand, has renewed the agreement that it had previously held with Sungrow, this time for 500 MWh of residential batteries and a PV volume of 500 MW. Beyond the distribution of products, the two companies have also worked together on joint marketing, technical training and installer engagement. As with the other two distributors, Raystech Group supplies installation partners rather than end users, so the BESS volumes are to reach Australian homes and businesses through those installers.

Separately, in Victoria, Australia, Sungrow is to equip Hazelwood BESS 2, the 150 MW/300 MWh plant of ENGIE, with 66 ST5015-UX battery units, 33 SC6900UD-MV PCS inverters and an EMS3000 controller.
