Sungrow has signed a supply agreement with Abu Dhabi-based clean energy leader Masdar to provide 7.5GWh of battery energy storage systems and 2.6GW of PV inverter solutions for the RTC 1 Plant (North) project in the United Arab Emirates, further strengthening its footprint in the Middle East’s fast-growing energy storage market.
Under the agreement, Sungrow will deliver its advanced PowerTitan 3.0 liquid-cooled energy storage systems to support the world’s first giga-scale round-the-clock renewable energy project developed by Masdar and Emirates Water and Electricity Co. (EWEC). The landmark project integrates 5.2GW of solar PV capacity with 19GWh of battery storage, designed to deliver up to 1GW of stable baseload renewable power daily by combining oversized solar generation and large-scale energy storage to smooth intermittent power output.
Sungrow’s solution features more than 1,000 PowerTitan 3.0 systems equipped with 684Ah stacked battery cells, totaling 3.44 million cells deployed on-site. Each BESS unit operates on an 8-hour charge and 16-hour discharge cycle to enable continuous renewable power delivery, supported by AC block design and cluster-level management that enhances system safety, efficiency and operational availability.
The PowerTitan 3.0 platform incorporates a fully liquid-cooled silicon carbide (SiC) power conversion system with a peak efficiency of 99.3% and a system round-trip efficiency of 90%. Engineered to withstand harsh desert conditions, the solution can operate continuously at temperatures up to 55℃ without power derating, making it ideally suited for the UAE’s extreme climate.
The collaboration marks another major milestone for Sungrow in the Middle East, following three large-scale storage contracts totaling 7.8GWh signed with Saudi Arabia’s Algihaz Holding in July 2024, as well as a previous supply deal for the NEOM Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia.
Masdar, one of the UAE’s leading clean energy developers, has developed or partnered on over 65GW of clean energy projects across more than 40 countries and targets a 100GW portfolio by 2030. Sungrow, a global leader in inverters and storage solutions, had installed over 1,000GW of power electronic converters worldwide by the end of 2025.
