Sungrow Wins iF Design Award 2025 for the Revolutionary 1+X 2.0 Modular Inverter
Sungrow, a global leader in PV inverter and energy storage solutions, has secured the iF Design Award 2025 for its all-new 1+X 2.0 Modular Inverter. Selected from over 10,000 international entries, this marks the first-ever win for a modular inverter in the competition’s history—often dubbed the “Oscars of the design world.”
Innovation Recognized by Global Experts
The iF Design Award jury assesses each submission on innovation, function, form, sustainability, and user impact. Sungrow’s modular inverter impressed the judges with its advanced AI features, scalable architecture, and commitment to sustainable product lifecycle design.
This award not only honors the inverter’s technological excellence but also cements Sungrow’s leadership in utility-scale solar innovation.
Compact Modules, Gigawatt Impact
Each inverter unit delivers 800kW, scalable up to 9.6MW by connecting 12 modules in parallel. This flexible setup enables adaptation to a wide range of project sizes, offering:
✅ Easy expansion
✅ Compact footprint
✅ Minimal downtime
The inverter’s split modular design separates key components (like IGBTs and capacitors) for fast field replacement. This allows for O&M time reduction to just one hour per module—a major advantage in large-scale solar operations.

AI-Powered for Smart O&M
The 1+X 2.0 Modular Inverter features AI-driven diagnostics, automated air duct cleaning, and smart IV curve analysis. These intelligent functions enable:
-
Real-time fault detection (over 20 fault types)
-
Self-cleaning airflow system for debris-free operation
-
Non-intrusive monitoring without downtime or external servers
With this technology, maintenance teams can work faster, more safely, and with less manual effort, improving system reliability and reducing long-term costs.
Sustainability at Every Step
From manufacturing to installation, the inverter supports eco-conscious development:
🌍 Grid-forming microgrid capability helps eliminate diesel use during construction
🌱 15% less material usage than traditional systems
🔁 Modular design enables easy part replacement and long-term reuse
🚚 Compact build supports lower transportation emissions
These features make the 1+X 2.0 a true low-carbon solution for modern energy infrastructure.
Minimalist Design Meets High Function
The inverter doesn’t just perform—it looks smart, too. Its sleek housing blends circular and square elements, with a white-gray color palette and black high-contrast display for readability under direct sunlight.
The display and air vents are integrated for visual harmony and easy access, enhancing both appearance and usability.
