Sungrow turns to Samsung SDI battery cells to sustain its energy storage business

ESS News reported that Sungrow plans to procure Samsung SDI cells for its own storage systems, with the U.S. market cited as the main driver. South Korean reporting described a possible three-year agreement covering several gigawatt-hours per year and a contract value in the trillions of Korean won, although volumes, locations, schedule and pricing were not confirmed. The deal matters because storage vendors are reshaping procurement around trade rules, domestic-content expectations and bankable cell supply.
