GURUGRAM, India, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, is reinforcing its commitment to environmental stewardship and rural development through its flagship tree plantation initiative. This program forms an integral part of the company's broader mission to drive sustainable growth across India.
Restoring Green Cover, Reviving Livelihoods
Since 2021, Sungrow India has collaborated with the Sankalp Taru Foundation to implement the Rural Livelihood Plantation Program, promoting sustainable agroforestry practices among underserved farming communities. Over the past four years, the initiative has resulted in the plantation of 7,462 trees across 16 Indian states, focusing on fruit-bearing species that enrich biodiversity while providing long-term income opportunities for farmers.
In FY2024–25, an additional 2,400 saplings were planted. These trees are projected to sequester over 1,000 tonnes of CO₂, generate more than 2,100 tonnes of oxygen, and produce approximately 50 tonnes of fruit annually, directly benefiting farming households. The program's estimated economic impact exceeds INR 4 million, showcasing its dual benefit for the environment and rural livelihoods. "Our partnership with Sankalp Taru is a testament to how clean energy companies can drive ecological restoration while directly supporting rural communities," said Sunil Badesra, Country Head of Sungrow India.
Empowering Education Through Clean Energy
In addition to its environmental efforts, Sungrow India is advancing access to education and clean energy through a series of impactful community programs:
- This March, the company partnered with the Energy Swaraj Foundation to distribute 200 solar-powered study lamps to students in off-grid areas of rural Maharashtra, supporting uninterrupted evening study and eliminating dependence on kerosene lighting.
- In collaboration with Enerbiz and the Asha Deep Foundation, Sungrow helped install a 20kW rooftop solar plant at a school for underprivileged children in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, reducing electricity costs and fostering awareness of renewable energy.
- The company also hosted a solar masterclass at the TERI School of Advanced Studies in New Delhi, offering graduate students practical insights into solar plant design, inverter technology, and India's clean energy transition.
Looking Ahead: Powering a Greener, Inclusive Future
"Our work goes beyond technology — it ' s about nurturing ecosystems, supporting livelihoods, and growing together with the communities we serve," said Sunil Badesra. "We believe in a future where clean energy and shared prosperity go hand in hand, and we are proud to play our part in making that future a reality."
With every tree planted, every student supported, and every village empowered, Sungrow India is lighting the path toward a greener, more inclusive India.

Empowering India's Future: Sungrow Drives Environmental Action and Community Growth
BEIJING, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 29, the "Forging the Path to National Strength: China's Manufacturing Achievements Under the 14th Five-Year Plan," jointly organized by the National Museum of China and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, officially opened at the National Museum of China, showcasing more than 300 top national achievements. GAC's "National Outstanding Engineer Team" successfully developed both the Magazine Battery and the Solid-State Battery, which were selected for the exhibition.
The GAC Magazine Battery is the first battery system to pass both the nail penetration no-flame and non-ignition safety tests. By utilizing ultra-high intrinsic safety cells, an all-weather "vehicle-end + cloud-based" active safety monitoring system, and a multi-dimensional safety protection system, the Magazine Battery achieves three layers of protection: core, active, and passive. Its safety performance far exceeds the electric vehicles traction battery safety requirements (GB38031-2025), which will take effect on July 1, 2026. Currently, the Magazine Battery has a cumulative deployment of 1.3 million vehicles with zero spontaneous combustion and over 50 billion kilometers of safe travel, providing users with robust safety assurance for every journey.
GAC's self-developed large-capacity solid-state battery has achieved an energy density exceeding 400 Wh/kg and easily passes rigorous safety tests such as 200°C thermal chamber and nail penetration tests, effectively addressing users' range anxiety and safety concerns. Innovations in materials and processes have placed the solid-state battery at the forefront of the industry in key indicators such as safety, energy density, and cycle life, providing a superior power solution for the future development of NEVs. Currently, a pilot production line for GAC's solid-state battery has been established, capable of mass-producing vehicle-grade solid-state batteries over 60 Ah, marking a critical step toward the goal of full vehicle integration by 2026.
Over the years, GAC has been steadily enhancing its competitiveness through innovations across intelligent connectivity, NEV powertrains technologies, and forward-looking technologies. Looking ahead, GAC will continue to deepen its efforts in the intelligent connected NEV field, leveraging more leading technological achievements to drive industry progress.
