The lab is designed as a state-of-the-art, safety-first facility, fully compliant with German regulations (ASiG, GefStoffV, and BG RCI). Equipped with an eight-fold ventilation system and real-time hydrogen/oxygen monitoring, it ensures secure operations for its diverse, international team members. The platform integrates material fabrication, component testing and digital data analysis, forming a closed-loop R&D chain from material development to system validation.

The facility currently houses four specialised labs - physical, optical, chemical and electrochemical labs - featuring 3D printing, SEM microscopy and high-precision PEM assembly capabilities. Designed with significant expansion capacity, the laboratory has reserved ample space to accommodate future technological developments and testing needs. It leverages globally renowned test stations to deliver pressurised electrochemical characterisation with unmatched accuracy.

As part of Sungrow Hydrogen's global technology strategy, this Munich lab joins its industry-leading 30MW water electrolysis hydrogen production empirical platform, key materials research centre and product research centre to form a complete innovation chain. Through localised research and international collaboration, Sungrow Hydrogen and Sungrow Research Center is tackling critical industry challenges to accelerate the commercialisation of green hydrogen solutions worldwide. This strategic investment strengthens its technological leadership while driving the hydrogen industry forward.
