Investment points
Rating Buy (Initiate)
• Leading player in the global PV inverter market
- In 2020, Sungrow Power Supply (Sungrow) overtook Huawei to become the no. 1 player in the global PV
Target price CNY103.0 inverter market (24% M/S based on shipment volume).

Current price
• Beginning of the inverter replacement cycle
CNY72.49 - New solar PV capacity installations have expanded rapidly worldwide since 2015; we believe the inverter

Global leader in solar PV inverters
Investment point 1: • In 2020, Sungrow overtook Huawei to become the no. 1 player in the global PV inverter market (M/S of 24%
Leading player in the based on shipment volume).
global PV inverter • Management is targeting a global market share of 30% through overseas capacity expansions.
market • We project that the global PV inverter market will expand at a 2020-25 CAGR of 15%.
• President Xi’s pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2060 should stimulate solar PV market growth in China,
leading to a steady rise in inverter demand. And export opportunities should also increase on the back of robust
global solar PV demand.
• Sungrow is rapidly extending its global reach, especially in the US and the EU. The revenue contribution of
exports grew to 29% in 1H20.

Investment point 2: • Sungrow stands to benefit from not only new demand but also growing replacement demand.
Beginning of inverter • While a solar farm typically has a life span of 20-25 years, solar inverters are usually warrantied for five to 15
replacement cycle years.
• New solar PV capacity installations, both in China and globally, have expanded rapidly since 2015. Given this, we
believe the inverter replacement cycle began last year (with some warranty periods beginning to expire).
• It should also be noted that the global PV inverter market is undergoing consolidation. Accordingly, large, well-
established players are expanding their market shares by forcing out or taking over less competitive players.

• We forecast revenue from ESS to expand at a three-year CAGR of 36%.
Investment point 3: • For 2020, management guided ESS revenue of CNY1bn (+100% YoY).
Growth potential of ESS • We expect ESS demand to grow steadily, driven by a rise in new ESS installations related to renewable energy
business power generation.
• The Chinese government is committed to fostering the ESS sector.* Some grid companies are calling for ESS to
be introduced into new solar PV/wind power generation projects.
• Sungrow plans to collaborate with lithium battery manufacturers and export ESS through its existing inverter
customer networks. As the market grows, we believe Sungrow is poised to benefit from its early lead in ESS.

Valuation • At a 2021F P/E of 35x and 2022F P/E of 27x, Sungrow is trading well above the five-year average (18x) and at a
premium to global solar PV equipment suppliers (29x and 21x, respectively).
• After rising to CNY122 amid a broad rally in the renewable energy sector, Sungrow’s stock is now undergoing a
correction.
• We derived our target price of CNY103 by applying a fair P/E of 50x (25% discount to 2021F global PV inverter
peer average of 65.7x).
• Although Sungrow is the no. 1 player in the global PV inverter market, our target multiple reflects a discount to
the global peer average to account for the ”China discount.”
