Sungrow, Parkering Malmö and Truxco Energy turn parking garage into high-performance clean energy hub

In a landmark collaboration that fuses renewable energy with future-proof mobility, global inverter and energy storage system (ESS) provider Sungrow has joined forces with Parkering Malmö and clean energy integrator Truxco Energy to transform a municipal parking facility into a self-sufficient, high-efficiency energy hub. The newly inaugurated Parkside Mobility Hub (Mobilitetshuset Parkside) in Malmö’s forward-looking Hyllie district now operates as a blueprint for sustainable urban infrastructure — combining on-site solar power, intelligent battery storage, and widespread EV charging within an architecturally striking public space.

Sungrow supplied its commercial & industrial (C&I) PowerStack liquid-cooled ESS alongside SG33CX string inverters for the project, delivering both environmental performance and architectural value in a dense urban setting. The installation effectively turns a 430-vehicle parking structure into a decentralized power plant, capable of storing solar energy during peak sun hours and reinforcing grid resilience during overcast or high-demand periods.

“Clean power for all is our mission — from large solar parks outside cities to urban environments where every square metre counts,” said Tony Granholm, Partner Success Manager for the Nordics at Sungrow. “With PowerStack and Truxco Energy’s AI-based energy management, we seamlessly store solar energy on sunny days and ensure resilience on grey, rainy ones.”

Parkside Mobility Hub: a green urban landmark

Located in the dynamic Hyllie district — already known for its sustainability focus — the Parkside Mobility Hub serves as a scalable model for integrating clean energy and smart mobility. The facility accommodates 430 vehicles, with over 200 parking spaces equipped with EV charging readiness. Beyond its mobility function, the hub adds public amenities including a panoramic rooftop staircase and an outdoor gym, creating community value that extends far beyond conventional parking infrastructure.

The construction itself follows strict climate-optimized principles: façade-integrated photovoltaic glass, local energy production, and climate-smart materials such as timber, recycled steel, and low-carbon concrete. Parkside is designed to support both Malmö’s 2030 climate roadmap and the high sustainability benchmarks of LFM30 (Local Food Malmö 2030), setting a new standard for future urban developments.

“We see our parking garages as part of Malmö’s green transformation — becoming local energy nodes that support the grid and supply renewable power,” said Almir Hodzic, CEO of Parkering Malmö. “Access to affordable energy is a challenge, and energy storage plays a crucial role in making our properties future-ready.”

System architecture: intelligent storage meets AI-driven management

At the core of the mobility hub’s energy infrastructure are four units of Sungrow’s PowerStack — an advanced, liquid-cooled energy storage system purpose-built for commercial and industrial applications. With a combined storage capacity of 916 kWh, the PowerStack units optimize solar self-consumption and enable real-time grid support. The system pairs with Sungrow’s SG33CX multi-MPPT string inverters, which achieve a maximum efficiency of 98.7% and incorporate smart management capabilities while maintaining compatibility with bifacial PV modules.

The entire installation is orchestrated by Truxco Energy’s proprietary AI-based energy management platform. This ensures predictive operation, early detection of technical deviations, and dynamic balancing between generation, storage, and EV charging demand. The result is a robust, fire-safe, and visually cohesive energy solution that aligns with the architectural ambitions of the Parkside project.

“This mobility hub exemplifies a project where we integrate design, technology, and sustainability into a cohesive solution,” commented Modi Nezami, Project Manager at Truxco Energy, who led the technical integration. “With Sungrow’s intelligent system and our AI-based solutions, we can detect and respond to potential deviations early — ensuring safety and performance. The result is a fire-safe, intelligent, and visually appealing energy solution.”

A scalable blueprint for decentralized urban energy

The Parkside Mobility Hub highlights a new paradigm for urban infrastructure: parking structures as active energy assets rather than passive concrete shells. By combining local solar production, smart storage, and high-efficiency EV charging, the project demonstrates how municipalities can accelerate their climate targets while reducing strain on the central grid. The collaboration also underscores the growing importance of behind-the-meter storage in enabling electrified transport without expensive grid upgrades.

For Sungrow, the Nordic market remains a strategic focus. The company has established local offices in Stockholm and Copenhagen with dedicated teams to address the region’s distinctive climate conditions and energy transition needs. With a portfolio spanning utility-scale solar, residential solutions, and C&I storage, Sungrow has emerged as a key technology partner across Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
