What SAJ does

SAJ, legally Guangzhou Sanjing Electric Co., Ltd., is a Chinese manufacturer founded in 2005 that designs and produces solar inverters, hybrid inverters, energy storage systems, microinverters, EV chargers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and pump controllers. The company operates two business segments — Smart Energy Solutions (Residential and Commercial & Industrial) and Industrial Automation — and reports 1,001-5,000 employees, 25%+ R&D headcount, 294 effective IP rights, and 7.2 GWh of annual energy storage production capacity. Its hardware portfolio spans residential all-in-one systems (HS3, HS2, EK90 HS5), C&I storage (CHS2, CM2, CH3+CB3), hybrid and string inverters, batteries (B2, B3, CB3), microinverters (M2), grid-tied inverters (R5/R6/C6), EV chargers (Caro, CU2), and a broad VFD lineup (MC/VM series, PC/PD/SC pump controllers).

The technology platform is anchored by the elekeeper Energy Management System (EMS), which embeds the proprietary AI Saving 2.0 decision engine integrating generation, load, and electricity-price forecasting with intelligent scheduling across three operation modes. SAJ claims the world's first C&I distributed hybrid inverter on a 1500V DC voltage platform (CHS2/CH3), supporting 50% more PV panels per string and 200% PV overloading capability. MPPT efficiency of 99.8% is reported for solar pump controllers and millisecond-level grid switching (<20ms) for C&I hybrid inverters. The HS3 6-in-1 product integrates PV inverter, EV charger, storage inverter, battery, backup power, and EMS in a 17cm ultra-slim unit with built-in fire suppression and -30°C operation capability.

SAJ monetizes primarily through hardware sales across Residential, C&I, Industrial Automation, and Agriculture/Water Management segments, with a complementary subscription/recurring revenue stream from the elekeeper EMS platform. Go-to-market combines wholly-owned regional entities (Italy, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, UK, US, Australia, India, Brazil, South Africa, Kenya) with a global partner/distributor program, supported by exhibition-led demand generation (Key Energy, EESA, Intersolar, Solar & Storage Live Africa, Kenya Clean Energy Week) and digital/email/social channels. The company serves 85+ countries with no named enterprise anchor customers on record.
