AI-driven hybrid energy infrastructure and future-ready battery architecture enable high-efficiency solar deployment for iconic British manufacturer <\/p>\n<\/h2>\n\nSOMERSET, England, May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sigenergy is helping redefine the future of industrial energy management in the UK, powering one of the country\u2019s most intelligent and space-efficient commercial solar manufacturing projects at Numatic International\u2019s Somerset facility.<\/p>\n
Delivered in partnership with SunGift Solar and AIKO, the 1.73MWp solar installation combines Sigenergy\u2019s AI-driven hybrid inverter technology with high-efficiency solar generation to create a smarter, more resilient energy ecosystem for British manufacturing.<\/p>\n
The project deploys 14 Sigenergy 110kW HYA hybrid inverters alongside 2,672 high-efficiency solar panels across a compact five-acre site, maximising energy yield while preserving valuable operational space. Once fully operational, the system is expected to provide approximately 20% of Numatic International\u2019s annual electricity demand \u2014 with solar generation capable of meeting up to 100% of demand during peak production periods.<\/p>\n
The installation is also projected to reduce annual CO\u2082 emissions by 266.91 tonnes, equivalent to producing around 500,000 Henry vacuum cleaners using clean energy each year<\/p>\n
At the heart of the project is Sigenergy\u2019s intelligent HYB hybrid inverter platform, designed to help businesses maximise self-generation today while preparing for future electrification, battery storage and AI-optimised energy management.<\/p>\n
Unlike conventional AC-coupled systems, each of the 14 Sigenergy 110kW HYA hybrid inverters includes integrated DC battery connectivity as standard, enabling future battery integration through Sigenergy\u2019s intelligent DC-coupled architecture and AI-driven energy management platform.<\/p>\n
This future-ready architecture enables manufacturers to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use during peak production periods and higher-cost evening hours, helping reduce grid reliance, improve energy resilience and maximise on-site energy usage.<\/p>\n
The project also demonstrates how manufacturers can unlock significantly higher energy generation from constrained sites through the combination of intelligent inverter infrastructure and high-efficiency solar technology.<\/p>\n
Michael Rae, Channel Director UK at Sigenergy, commented:<\/p>\n
\u201cManufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce energy costs, improve resilience and prepare for greater electrification across their operations.<\/p>\n
What makes this project particularly exciting is how Sigenergy\u2019s intelligent hybrid inverter architecture combines AI-driven energy management with integrated DC-coupled battery readiness, allowing businesses to maximise self-generation today while building a smarter and more flexible energy infrastructure for the future.<\/p>\n
This is exactly where the market is moving \u2014 towards intelligent energy systems that give businesses greater efficiency, resilience and long-term control over their energy usage.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steve Whitlock, Finance Director at Numatic International, added:<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the current environment, every business of every size needs to consider how it is going to secure its energy requirements in the future. This investment represents a step forward in our ability to meet our own energy needs, providing a strong return on capital compared to other investments that we may have made.\u201d<\/p>\n
Safe to say Henry approves.<\/p>\n
