Sungrow visit

The best place to find a problem? Before it leaves the factory.

Our managing directors, Sean and Matt, were recently at Sungrow’s factory in Hefei, China, completing Factory Acceptance Testing on the MV stations for Reefton Solar Farm.

They inspected the equipment, worked through testing with the Sungrow team and checked everything was ready before shipment to New Zealand.

It’s not the most visible part of project delivery. But it matters. Catching issues early means fewer surprises on site and a smoother build at Reefton.

The factory golf simulator also passed its test. ⛳
