Sungrow SG50CX-P2 50 kW 3‑Phase Commercial Solar Inverter

  • 50 kW 3‑phase inverter for commercial and industrial PV systems up to 70 kWp, ideal for warehouses, logistics hubs and small solar farms
  • Four independent MPPTs with two strings each for flexible string design and better yield on complex roofs
  • IP66, C5‑rated enclosure, integrated DC and AC surge protection and AFCI for reliable operation in tough UK and coastal environments

The Sungrow SG50CX‑P2 is a 50 kW three‑phase string inverter designed for 1000 V DC commercial solar arrays up to 70 kWp. It suits rooftop and ground‑mount systems on logistics centres, factories, offices and agricultural sites where dependable output and straightforward operation matter more than bells and whistles. With high efficiency, strong grid support features and robust environmental protection, it is a practical choice for long‑term PV generation on 230/400 V three‑phase supplies.

Key features

  • Rated AC power 50 kW with up to 55 kVA apparent power for strong export capability on three‑phase grids
  • Four MPPT inputs, two strings per MPPT (total eight strings) for good performance on roofs with multiple orientations or partial shading
  • High max efficiency of 98.5 % and European efficiency of 98.3 % to minimise conversion losses
  • Integrated DC Type I+II and AC Type II surge protection, AFCI and built‑in PID recovery to help protect modules and wiring
  • IP66, C5 anti‑corrosion housing with smart forced‑air cooling for outdoor wall‑mounted installation up to 4000 m altitude
  • Supports G99 grid compliance and advanced grid support functions including LVRT, HVRT, active and reactive power control and ramp‑rate control, suitable for UK commercial connections
