SYDNEY, Australia, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sungrow, the global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, unveils its latest innovations — PowerTitan 3.0 with AC block design and Hybrid Solution at Sungrow PV & ESS Summit in Sydney. The event attracted over 300 partners and industry experts to explore emerging technologies and market trends shaping Australia's energy transition.
Australia's utility-scale renewable energy sector is expanding rapidly, driven by federal CIS incentives, state targets and strong investor confidence, accelerating the deployment of large-scale battery energy storage systems (BESS) across the National Electricity Market (NEM). Developers are increasingly prioritising integrated, grid-supportive projects aligned with stricter technical standards and long-term value, but the sector still faces challenges including system strength shortfalls, voltage instability, complex grid connection processes and lengthy approval timelines, alongside rising requirements for grid-forming capability and advanced modelling.
PowerTitan 3.0: Optimized for Australia's Utility ESS Landscape
Sungrow's PowerTitan 3.0 is a next-generation utility-scale energy storage solution designed to address weak-grid conditions, advanced grid-forming requirements, and the operational realities of Australia's evolving energy landscape.
Key highlights:
- High-density architecture: 600+ Ah stacked battery cells with a SiC-based power conversion system (PCS), supporting flexible 4–8 hour discharge durations.
- Compact, scalable design: Each 20-foot container houses 1.78 MW PCS and 7.14 MWh battery capacity; blocks can reach 7.2 MW/28.5 MWh (4-hour configuration), reducing land use by 20% and lowering overall project costs.
- High efficiency and reliability: PCS achieves 99.3% max efficiency with 120% continuous overload; stacked cells enable 92% system-level round-trip efficiency (RTE).
- Rapid deployment: AC block design allows factory pre-installation and pre-commissioning, self-configuration, and automated system checks in under one hour — enabling a 1 GWh project to be deployed in just 12 days.
- Durable and environment-ready: Operates at ambient temperatures up to 45℃ with low noise (63 dBA), IP55 protection, and C5 corrosion resistance for harsh Australian conditions.
Hybrid Solution：The Rise of DC Coupled PV & BESS Integration
Sungrow also introduced the Hybrid Solution, featuring the 1+X modular inverter series with DC Coupling and AC Coupling Solution showcase, and Sungrow's DC-coupling technology solution outperforms traditional designs in cost, functionality and performance. Key advantages include:

From pool opening to smarter lawn care, Aiper helps homeowners refresh their entire backyard ecosystem this spring
Celebrate the season with special savings on the new Aiper Experts Duo and IrriSense 2 at Aiper.com and during the Amazon Big Spring Sale Event
ATLANTA, March 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Spring has arrived, making it time to refresh more than just closets and garages. For homeowners, spring is the ideal time to prepare pools and lawns before summer heat and weekend pool parties begin. Opening a pool properly takes more than removing the cover and adding chlorine, and reviving your lawn requires more than turning on last year's sprinkler timer. A thoughtful spring reset now can prevent weeks of cloudy water, equipment damage, overwatering, and wasted time later. To celebrate spring, Aiper is announcing special savings on the new Aiper Experts Duo and award-winning IrriSense 2, along with up to 25% off other Aiper robotic pool cleaners, from March 25 through April 10 on Aiper.com.
To help homeowners start the season strong - Aiper, the world's No. 1 smart robotic pool cleaner brand[1] and leader in smart yard innovation - is sharing expert-backed pool-opening tips alongside smart technology solutions that simplify both pool and lawn care.
Because summer-ready backyards begin in spring. And that starts with opening your pool the right way. Here's a simple, step-by-step approach to get your pool swim-ready:
- Wake Up Your Equipment First. Remove standing water, clear large debris, inspect hoses and O-rings, and prime the pump before turning it on. Record your clean filter pressure, typically 10–15 psi, as your season baseline.
- Handle Cloudy or Green Water Properly. Let flocculant settle overnight and vacuum sludge to Waste. Do not use a robotic cleaner until heavy algae is removed.
- Balance in the Correct Chemical Order. Adjust total alkalinity first, then pH. Aim for 80–120 ppm alkalinity and 7.2–7.4 pH. Check Cyanuric Acid (CYA) levels, shock at dusk, and circulate for 24 hours.
- Bring in Automation After Chemistry Stabilizes. Once water is balanced and debris cleared, for the first use, remove the MicroMesh™ Filter from the Scuba V3 and start cleaning with the fine filter box. After that, use the Aiper Experts Duo – Scuba V3 and EcoSurfer S2 – to remove remaining particles and polish the pool.
For the complete step-by-step scientific guide and troubleshooting tips, visit Aiper.com.
Once your pool is properly opened and balanced, maintenance should be effortless. The Aiper Experts Duo delivers hands-free, 360° coverage cleaning by pairing the cognitive AI powered Scuba V3 with the solar-driven EcoSurfer S2. The Scuba V3 strategically plans how to clean your pool using Cognitive AI Navium™ Mode, creating weekly cleaning plans based on pool size, cleaning history, and weather to efficiently clean floors, walls, and waterlines. Meanwhile, the EcoSurfer S2 continuously removes surface debris before it sinks and recharges using SolarSeeker™ technology. Together, they create a seamless 24/7 cleaning system that minimizes upkeep and maximizes swim time.
Spring prep does not stop at the pool. As lawns emerge from the winter cold, smart irrigation becomes essential. The IrriSense 2 is the world's first 4-in-1 multi-zone smart irrigation system that replaces a sprinkler, electrical valve, controller, and nutrient feeder in one easy-to-install unit, ready in about 15 minutes with no trenching or wiring. Powered by Weather-Sense Response technology, it automatically adjusts watering based on real-time conditions, pauses for rain, and adapts during heat waves. With support for up to ten customizable zones and a TÜV certification for reliable water pressure stability, IrriSense 2 can reduce water use by up to 40%, all managed through the Aiper app. To make watering mimic rainfall, Aiper has integrated EvenRain™ technology that gently sprays the watering zones for a more even and efficient irrigation process.
Spring is about fresh starts, including your backyard. By combining the right opening strategy with intelligent automation for pool and lawn care, homeowners can reduce guesswork and step into summer fully prepared. From March 25 – April 10, shoppers can find exclusive savings on the Aiper Experts Duo and IrriSense 2 at Aiper.com and during the Amazon Big Spring Sale on Amazon.com. Because the best summer memories begin with preparation.
