Sungrow builds a factory in Wałbrzych

Lower Silesia is delivering industrial investment from Asia. A global renewable energy producer in Poland is planning its first European factory. New jobs are on the cards.

• Chinese manufacturer Sungrow will build its first European factory in Wałbrzych.
• The investment is expected to cost €230 million and create approximately 400 jobs.
• The plant will produce, among other things, inverters and energy storage systems.
• The factory is expected to open within the next 12 months.

Sungrow’s first European factory will be built in Poland.

Sungrow, a leading manufacturer of photovoltaic inverters and energy storage systems, is in Poland, at the location of its original European factory. The investment will be built in Wałbrzych, Lower Silesia.

As the company has learned, the project will cost €230 million. The factory is expected to be operational within 12 months and ultimately employ approximately 400 people.

“This investment marks a step into Europe for us. We need to be more precise in responding to market needs and then addressing the consequences of expansion,” said Shawn Shi, President of Sungrow Europe.

Large Scale and Modern Technologies

The Wałbrzych plant will have over 65,000 square meters and will be accessible at the main level. Company information: Annual production capacity is up to 20 GW of inverters and 12.5 GWh of energy storage systems.

Sungrow announces that the factory will be equipped with modern production lines and quality control systems that provide detailed information on the safety and security of the equipment.

High-Tech Industry in Lower Silesia

The choice of Wałbrzych is no accident. The region has been hidden from investments in the advanced industry and equipment sector for years. As Marcin Lerner, President of the Management Board of the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone, points out, the Sungrow project highlights Poland’s growing importance in the European renewable energy supply chain.

In its case, Lower Silesia’s attractiveness is determined, among other things, by access to technical equipment, university technical facilities, and the distribution system.

The Chinese are focusing on short supply chains

The new factory is not only available locally but also leverages Sungrow’s logistics in Europe. The relocation of some of its additional customers is intended to shorten delivery times and device distribution in the European market.

“Lower Silesia has a proven track record in electronics and advanced manufacturing. We would like to work locally and start together with the region,” Shawn Shi announced.

A Major Player Holding a Position in Europe

Sungrow has been operating in Europe since 2005 and currently has offices, research and development centers, warehouses, and training centers. The company’s European headquarters is located in Munich.

The company is a global leader in energy technology. By mid-2025, its equipment will be connected to an 870 GW installation. The company is also regularly listed among the most important suppliers to the renewable energy sector.
