At a July 1 investor call attended by over 900 participants, Sungrow said the
global energy-storage market will expand sharply this year, with Europe stronger
than expected. It said financing restrictions by some EU banks on projects using
Chinese inverters affect roughly 20% of the European market and have limited
impact on Sungrow because the company has low participation in those projects.
Falling lithium carbonate prices are increasing demand for long-duration
storage, and Sungrow now expects European market growth about 10% above prior
forecasts.
