Sungrow, a global provider of photovoltaic (PV) inverters and energy storage systems, has launched its next generation MGTL Series of three phase hybrid inverters in Sub-Saharan Africa.
The series covers a power range of 10 kW to 25 kW and combines solar and energy storage in one highly integrated solution. Sungrow says it helps households and businesses get more from their solar systems, strengthen energy resilience and simplify system deployment.
As African households and businesses invest in solar to reduce reliance on the grid and manage electricity costs, making full use of available PV generation is becoming more important. The MGTL Series uses Sungrow’s PID Zero® technology, an ESS PID solution designed to protect PV modules and support long term system performance. With PV input current of up to 20A per string, compatibility with high current PV modules and a wide MPPT voltage range, the inverter supports up to 250% PV oversizing. Installers can therefore pair it with larger PV arrays, increasing potential energy yield and making better use of limited rooftop space.
“As solar adoption continues to grow across Sub Saharan Africa, making the most of every available unit of solar generation is becoming increasingly important. The MGTL Series gives installers greater flexibility to design systems that can maximise PV generation and help customers get more value from their solar investment,” says Nigel Sun, President of Sungrow Sub Saharan Africa.

Backup capability remains a key consideration for African homes and businesses buying an energy system. The MGTL Series switches between grid tied and off grid modes in zero milliseconds, so connected loads keep operating during a grid outage. It supports up to 200% three phase unbalanced output, a maximum charge and discharge current of 440A, and AC overload capacity of up to 2.0 times for 10 seconds. This allows the system to handle demanding residential and commercial loads while giving designers more flexibility in building hybrid solar and storage systems.
Sungrow has also designed the series to streamline installation and improve the user experience. Fanless operation keeps noise levels as low as 35 dB(A) on the MG10/12/15TL models, and selected models have a 4.3 inch touchscreen for local monitoring and adjustment. An integrated multi function port allows flexible connections with diesel generators and smart loads, while the bus bar terminal battery design supports quick, straightforward battery deployment. These features are particularly relevant for installers managing increasingly sophisticated solar and storage systems across residential and commercial applications.
“As hybrid solar and storage systems become more sophisticated, installers need solutions that are powerful without adding unnecessary complexity. The MGTL Series combines key functions into a highly integrated platform, helping to simplify installation while giving customers greater flexibility in how they manage their energy,” says Sun.
Safety and durability are central to the design. The series comes with standard AFCI 3.0R arc fault detection, covering cable runs of up to 200 metres with a 20A detection current, which helps keep rooftops safe over long distances and gives early warning of electrical fire risks. It also has a patented explosion proof design with dual pressure relief, an IP66 protection rating and C5 corrosion resistance for dependable operation in challenging environments.
The inverters connect with Sungrow’s MBL120 and MBL160 battery series as well as a growing range of third party battery solutions. Through the iSolarCloud platform, users and installers get real time system data and customisable energy management insights within a secure and open ecosystem.
With the MGTL Series, Sungrow says it is continuing to push residential energy innovation forward, delivering smarter, safer and more resilient systems for evolving needs.
