Juniper Chooses Sungrow Inverters for 835-MW Solar Push in India

• Juniper Green Energy has tapped Sungrow to supply advanced string and central inverters for 835 MW of solar projects in Maharashtra and Rajasthan, underpinning its 10-GW roadmap.

Juniper Green Energy has placed a major equipment order with China’s Sungrow Power Supply, selecting the company’s latest string and central inverter platforms for a combined 835 MW of photovoltaic projects now moving through construction in Maharashtra and Rajasthan.

Under the deal, Hefei-based Sungrow will ship its SG320HX-20 string inverters—each rated at 300 kW—and SG4400UD-20 central units capable of 4.4 MW apiece. The mix allows Juniper’s engineering team to match inverter formats to site-specific layouts: string units for distributed arrays where terrain is uneven, and large central blocks where land is flat and grid interconnection is concentrated.

Sungrow emphasises that the central units can operate at full power in ambient temperatures up to 51 °C, a critical specification for the searing summers of India’s inner desert and plateau regions. The hardware also supports 1,500-volt DC architecture, reducing cable runs and improving overall plant efficiency.

“Juniper’s rapid growth and demand for best-in-class performance align perfectly with our mission of delivering efficient, intelligent, and reliable inverters,” said Sunil Badesra, country head at Sungrow India, when announcing the deal.

The projects themselves remain under wraps, but industry insiders expect ground-breaking on the first sites before the 2025 monsoon. Once energised, the parks will feed power directly into state grids and corporate offtake contracts, supplying enough clean electricity to serve more than a million Indian households annually.

For Juniper Green Energy, the order is another step toward its goal of reaching 10 GW of installed solar capacity by 2030, a target that would firmly position the New Delhi-based developer among India’s top independent power producers. The company already has nearly 2 GW in operation or construction, and a further 4 GW in advanced permitting stages.

India’s solar sector continues to expand at record pace, driven by robust tender pipelines and a national mandate to install 500 GW of non-fossil generation by 2030. Yet equipment selection remains pivotal: high-temperature tolerance and robust grid-support features are prerequisites for long-duration performance across the country’s diverse climate zones. By opting for Sungrow’s latest inverter suite, Juniper is betting on technology that can withstand India’s harshest conditions while squeezing maximum output from every sunny hour—an essential edge as competition intensifies in the sub-continent’s booming renewables market.
