Sungrow’s PowerTitan 2.0, has received both TM-2 approval and a Certificate of Approval (COA) from the New York City Fire Department. The certification allows for deployment of the lithium-ion system within New York City — one of the most safety-conscious and technically demanding urban markets in the United States.
“This certification affirms that PowerTitan 2.0 meets the highest standards for fire safety and system integrity,” said Hank Wang, president of Sungrow Americas. “With power demands expected to increase dramatically in New York, we’re proud to offer customers a proven solution that is ready for immediate deployment across utility-scale storage, commercial and industrial sites, and dense urban environments.”
The Fire Department’s TM-2 and COA process is required for any energy storage system installed within New York City, and includes an extensive series of fire safety evaluations, technical design reviews and third-party test reports. Approval typically involves coordination with engineers, first responders and fire safety authorities, making it one of the most stringent municipal certification processes in the country.
The 5-MWh PowerTitan 2.0, comparable in size to a shipping container, is the successor to the original PowerTitan 1.0, which received New York City certification in 2023. The new model introduces a fully pre-integrated, plug-and-play architecture that simplifies installation and accelerates project timelines. It also includes engineering advancements that enhance thermal performance, rack-level control, and system-wide fire protection.
“Our engineering team designed PowerTitan 2.0 from the ground up to deliver both performance and peace of mind,” said Bryce Laber, manager of ESS product engineering at Sungrow. “We’ve integrated safety at every level so that project developers can focus on delivering reliable energy to the grid.”
