The SG1000MX is one of Sungrow’s most popular products and is designed to provide higher yield with a high efficiency. Based on its overload capability, SG1000MX is able to maintain real power output while satisfying power factor requirements. Capable of functioning in extreme weather and challenging landscape conditions, the SG1000MX is designed with a wide operating temperature range from -30 C to +55 C and is capable of maintaining continuous and stable operation at high altitude areas.

“Red Horse 3 is yet another example of a successful joint effort with DESRI to bring both jobs and affordable, clean energy to the residents of Arizona,” said Mr. George Hershman, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Swinerton Renewable Energy. “We are also excited to partner with Sungrow, an innovative developer of energy conversion products, to use their inverters for the first time.”
