Sungrow Research Centre has established a European hydrogen technology laboratory in Munich, Germany, reinforcing its commitment to global green hydrogen innovation. Located at Munich Airport Business Park, the lab serves as a key hub for advancing water electrolysis and Power-to-X (P2X) technologies, aligning with Europe's stringent hydrogen development standards.
Safety-compliant, multifunctional testing platform
The lab is designed as a safety-first facility, fully compliant with German regulations (ASiG, GefStoffV, and BG RCI). Equipped with an 8-fold ventilation system and real-time hydrogen/oxygen monitoring, it ensures secure operations for its diverse, international team members. The platform integrates material fabrication, component testing, and digital data analysis, forming a closed-loop R&D chain from material development to system validation.
Advanced capabilities for global innovation
The facility currently houses four specialised labs – physical, optical, chemical, and electrochemical labs – featuring 3D printing, SEM microscopy, and high-precision PEM assembly capabilities. Designed with significant expansion capacity, the laboratory has reserved ample space to accommodate future technological developments and testing needs. It leverages globally renowned test stations to deliver pressurised electrochemical characterisation with unmatched accuracy.
As part of Sungrow Hydrogen's global technology strategy, this Munich lab joins its industry-leading 30 MW water electrolysis hydrogen production empirical platform, key materials research centre and product research centre to form a complete innovation chain. Through localised research and international collaboration, Sungrow Hydrogen, in collaboration with Sungrow Research Centre, is tackling critical industry challenges to accelerate the commercialisation of green hydrogen solutions worldwide.
