Clear blue skies, spring-like temperatures perfect for solar energy. There is only one thing that you should not miss: the possibility to use the electricity well – even if the grid cannot absorb it. That is why Sungrow invited more than 300 participants from more than 20 European countries to Munich last week for his “ESS Experience Day. “The theme of the partner event: the next phase of the European energy transition.
