Sungrow Research Center has established a European Hydrogen Technology Laboratory in Munich, Germany, marking a significant step in its global green hydrogen innovation strategy.
Located at the Munich Airport Business Park, the new facility will act as a hub for advancing water electrolysis and Power-to-X (P2X) technologies, in line with Europe’s stringent hydrogen development standards. The laboratory is fully compliant with German safety regulations, featuring an eight-fold ventilation system and real-time hydrogen and oxygen monitoring to ensure secure operations.
The centre integrates material fabrication, component testing and digital data analysis into a closed-loop research and development chain, covering everything from material development to system validation. It currently houses four specialist laboratories—Physical, Optical, Chemical and Electrochemical—equipped with advanced tools including 3D printing, scanning electron microscopy and high-precision PEM assembly capabilities. Space has been reserved for future expansion as new technologies and testing requirements emerge.
The Munich lab complements Sungrow Hydrogen’s existing 30MW water electrolysis empirical platform, materials research facilities and product development centres, creating a complete global innovation chain. By combining localised research with international collaboration, the company aims to accelerate the commercialisation of green hydrogen technologies and strengthen its leadership in the sector.
