Director(s) who did not attend Position Reason Delegate the board meeting in person Liu Zhen Director Personal No For detailed reasons of performance decline and the Company's countermeasures for improving profitability, please refer to “Overview” of IV. Core Business Analysis and “(2) Operating Plan” of XI. Prospects of the Company’s Future Development in Section III Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Contents in this report concerning future plans, performance forecasts, and etc., do not constitute any commitment made by the Company to any investor or related party. Investors and related parties should maintain adequate risk awareness and understand the possible difference between plans, forecasts, and commitments. (1) Policy-related risks Although technologies related to renewable energy power generation are still evolving and grid parity has been achieved in most regions around the world, there are still a few regions where the power generation cost or the on-grid electricity price is higher than that of fossil energy, and the unit electricity cost per kilowatt-hour from wind-solar storage applications maintains relatively high. In addition, considering the various constraints including grid consumption, intermittent fluctuations in new energy availability, as well as land and taxation, policy support and encouragement from governments are still necessary. Since the supportive policies are formulated by the governments of various countries, while the global trend of energy conservation and emission reduction remains unchanged, major changes in the macro economies of major markets or relevant supportive policies will affect the growth pace of the industry and the Company’s profitability to a certain extent. To this end, on the basis of maintaining the leading position in the domestic market, the Company makes market explorations overseas, and strives to achieve a global footprint to minimize the impact of policy fluctuations within a single country. Apart from the PV inverter business and the PV power station investment and development business, the Company makes active attempts in other business growth points, such as energy storage converters, electric vehicle motor controllers and other new energy oriented applications based on power electronics technologies, as well as in new business sections such as energy storage system integration and wind farm development, to dilute the impact of single-industry (such as PV) policies. (2) Risk of gross margin reduction due to intensified competition As the world's largest PV inverter manufacturer, the Company's core product, PV inverters, enjoys an 2 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) obvious market advantage. However, the huge potential of domestic and foreign markets has also attracted fierce market competition. If the Company fails to maintain the leading edge in technological innovation, new product development, and cost control, the products will face the risk of gross margin declination. As such, the Company needs to further accelerate new product upgrade and product differentiation through R&D innovation and increasing R&D investment, so as to provide customers with value-added services, constantly introduce new products that create greater values for customers, and consolidate product advantages in the market. (3) Risk of collecting accounts receivables As the domestic market grows rapidly, the Company puts more focus on product sales. In consideration of the PV industry characteristics in China, such as subsidy arrearage, large project amount, and long payment term, the Company's business growth at fast pace will lead to a quick increase of receivables and certain risks in payment collection. In order to prevent credit risks and accelerate capital turnover, the Company formulated strict credit management systems and sale-on-credit policies, and actively reduced the risk of non-performing loans and bad accounts through legal actions. (4) Risk of international trade frictions and the epidemic impact Under the negative impact of intensified international trade frictions and the continuation of the COVID-19 epidemic, the global economy is under huge pressure of inclination, and governments are launching monetary policies and other economic stimulation policies. While boosting the economy, such policies may cause supply chain fluctuation, logistic efficiency reduction, and cost increase. The PV industry where the Company is in also faces short-term pressures due to changes in demand tempo. The Company has formulated a series of defensive measures and lean production plans to actively respond to the global epidemic and expand the global market on the premise of ensuring the safety and health of employees. By strengthening the global supply chain layout, improving supply chain management capabilities, the Company makes every effort to reduce trade frictions and the epidemic impact, ensuring that the annual tasks are completed on time. (5) Risk of exchange rate fluctuation USD, AUD and EUR are the three major currencies used for the Company's overseas revenue settlement. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is mainly reflected in the following two areas: a. Because of the RMB exchange rate fluctuation, changes in operating income measured in local currency pose a direct impact on the gross margin of main products; b. From the moment sales revenue is confirmed and accounts receivable is generated to the moment of collecting foreign currency, the Company is subject to exchange gains/losses from the fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate, which also directly affects the Company's performance. On the foundation of normal operation and relying on specific businesses, the Company takes various means, including hedging, continuous monitoring, and timely settling foreign currency sales to reduce exchange-related loss and control operating risks. (6) Risks in the supply chain of semiconductor components Semiconductors used in the Company's power electronic devices mainly include power semiconductors and chips that are mostly sourced from overseas since there are limited local supply and the performance of local components are yet to be improved. With the rapid growth of new energy vehicles, renewable energy power generation, 5G use cases, and charging infrastructure, plus the epidemic impact on the production capacity of the above-mentioned manufacturers, semiconductors are facing certain risks of short supply and price fluctuation. To this end, the Company has made plans in anticipation, established long-term strategic 3 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) partnerships with suppliers, and locked orders in advance, so as to get hold of the industry supply dynamics and secure the supply chain to the maximum extent. (7) Risks in construction management of PV power station investment and development projects PV power station projects feature large amount of investment and short lead time. These projects not only involve ground resources but also commercial roofs. For these projects, the investment decision-making is quite challenging, and a lot of uncertainties exist in project engineering and implementation, which may lead to project delays and jeopardize timely grid connection for power generation. While challenging the Company's project management, the projects also require a huge amount of working capital. In response to such risks, the Company makes cautious considerations when selecting new energy power generation projects to prioritize those with better grid connection conditions, clearly communicated subsidy policies, controllable installed cost and higher gross profit. Meanwhile, the Company further enhances engineering management and improves project management level. After entering into sales contracts with customers, the Company reinforces project construction management in a timely manner, adequately communicates with customers on the progress, and adjusts the work schedule according to the result of communication, so that the impact of project delay on the Company's production and operation is eliminated or alleviated to the most extent. By providing project owners with safe, efficient and intelligent PV power stations that meet their needs, the Company's reputation in PV power station investment and development is improved. (8) Risk of module price increase Module price increase may lead to a certain degree of delay in the installation of PV power stations the Company invested and developed, thereby affecting the revenue and gross profit of the Company’s power station investment and development business. In view of the overall supply and demand of the industry, as the upstream production capacity is gradually released, the supply shortage will be further alleviated, the module price will gradually fall back to a reasonable level, and the increase in global installed capacity will be resumed. The board meeting has deliberated and approved the following profit distribution proposal: Based on a base quantity of 1,485,215,984 shares, a cash dividend of RMB 1.10 per 10 shares (tax inclusive) will be distributed to all shareholders, no bonus share (tax inclusive) will be distributed, and no share distribution from capital reserve. 4 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) Contents Section I Important Notes, Contents and Definitions ..............................................................................................................................2 Section II Company Profile & Key Financial Indicators .........................................................................................................................9 Section III Management’s Discussion and Analysis ..............................................................................................................................14 Section IV Corporate Governance .........................................................................................................................................................46 Section V Environment and Social Responsibilities ..............................................................................................................................76 Section VI Significant Events ................................................................................................................................................................78 Section VII Changes in Shares and Information about Shareholders ..................................................................................................107 Section VIII Preference shares ............................................................................................................................................................120 Section IX Bonds.................................................................................................................................................................................121 Section X Financial Reports ................................................................................................................................................................122 5 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) Documents for Future Reference 1.

Discussion and analysis of business situation In the reporting period, due to unbalanced supply and demand in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, the long lead-time of upstream capacity expansion, and the high installed capacity expected in the PV industry, the price of silicon materials rose sharply, causing different price increases across the entire PV industry chain, including silicon wafers, cells, and modules. According to data from the China Photovoltaic Industry Association, China's initial investment cost of PV systems in 2021 increased by 4% year-on-year, marked the first increase in many years. Due to the price increase, installation schedules were postponed. The National Energy Administration’s data shows that, in 2021, China’s newly installed PV capacity was 54.88 GW, a year-on-year increase of 13.9%. According to the data of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the global PV installed capacity in 2021 was 133 GW, a very small year-on-year increase of 5.5% only. In the context of global warming, green and low carbon has become a global consensus. Governments around the world have actively released policies to promote the development and utilization of renewable energy. More than 170 countries around the world have put forth Zero Carbon or Carbon Neutrality targets, and the development of renewable energy such as PV and wind power has been globally acknowledged. In 2022, as the silicon material production capacity is gradually released, the supply shortage will be alleviated, the market price of silicon material is expected to drop, and PV power generation will become the most competitive power supply in more and more countries. Driven by the carbon neutrality goals, the clean energy transformation and green resurrection across many countries, a rapid growth is expected in the average annual installed capacity of global PV during China’s 14th Five-Year Plan period.

PV inverters’ conversion efficiency The indicator “conversion efficiency” refers to the ratio of inverters converting the input DC power to AC power, which is inverter’s output power / inverter’s DC input power × 100%. 17 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) By utilizing new semiconductor materials and high-efficiency magnetic devices, optimizing circuit design, improving MPPT algorithm, and optimizing the heat dissipation system, the Company continuously drives inverters’ efficiency to go up. The maximum efficiency of Sungrow's full range of inverters has reached 99% at the moment. 2. Cost of energy per kilowatt-hour of the Company's PV system The indicator “cost of energy per kilowatt-hour” refers to the ratio of the PV system’s total investment cost versus the power generated throughout the entire life cycle of the system. The total investment cost includes the initial investment and the operation and maintenance investment throughout the life cycle. The cost of energy per kilowatt-hour directly reflects the power generation cost of the PV system, that is, the lower the cost of energy per kilowatt-hour, the higher revenue the PV system generates. Through constant technological innovation and system optimization, the Company reduces investment cost and increases system power generation, thereby reducing the cost of energy per kilowatt-hour and improving customers' return on investment. By increasing the unit power of inverters, less inverters are required for power stations to reach the same capacity, and the cable cost is also reduced. By forming inverters into power units of larger capacity, a maximum sub-array of 12.5 MW can be supported, which further saves the cost of transformers and reduces the initial investment by RMB 0.1 per watt. Highly integrated inverters and solutions will be widely used. For example, the box-type medium-voltage inverter not only has the inverter, transformer, power distribution, communication, and smoke detection functions integrated, but also is built with a PID control box and communication power supply interfaces for the tracking system. By improving the level of integration, the system cost across its life cycle, including cable cost, construction cost, project management cost, post-operation and maintenance cost, can be reduced; systems are strongly coupled, which improves reliability and increases power generation of the power station. 3. PV system’s grid friendliness As PV systems are being utilized at large scale, the penetration rate of PV increases year by year. Inverters are directly connected to the grid as a link for energy transfer, and the requirements for inverters’ grid friendliness are getting increasingly higher. Sungrow inverters are built with low-voltage ride-through, zero-voltage ride-through, and high-voltage ride-through capabilities, which can cope with the voltage changes of power grid in the case of power grid problems, hence to ensure that PV systems will not be disconnected from the grid on a large scale, resulting in the escalation of incident. Moreover, inverters are built-in with fast power control modules to enable quick scheduling in less than 30 ms for reactive power response and support stronger reactive power. They also support the virtual synchronous power generation (VSG) technology to realize proactive support for the power grid. Inverters have the DC energy storage interface integrated, hence to eliminate transformation afterwards. In addition, they support reverse charging and take advantages of the energy storage equipment. The power generation side is a multi-energy complementary platform that allows PV power station peak regulation, smooth PV power station output, and grid stability; the power consumption side is an intelligent PV-storage micro-grid platform, which enables peak-trough balance through energy storage, improves PV consumption, and achieves precise energy supply. 4. Unit production cost of the Company's PV inverters Due to wide range of the Company's PV inverters and different power ratings, the unit production cost varies from RMB 0.1 to RMB 0.15 per watt at the moment.

For financial leases before the first day of implementation the Company calculated the right-of-use asset and lease liability separately on the date of initial application according to the original book value of the financial lease asset and the financial lease payable; B. For operating leases before the first day of implementation the Company calculated the lease liability on the date of initial application based on the present value of the balance lease payment discounted at the lessee's incremental borrowing rate on the first day of implementation and calculated the right-of-use asset after making necessary adjustments to the amount equivalent to the lease liability and the prepaid rent of each lease; C. On the first day of implementation, the Company conducted an impairment test on the right-of-use asset and applied appropriate accounting treatment in accordance with Note III. 21. For low-value operating leases before the first day of implementation, a simplified treatment was applied and the right-of-use asset and lease liability were not recognized. In addition, for operating leases before the first day of implementation, one or more of the following simplified treatments were applied: Leases ending in 12 months from the first day of implementation were treated as short-term leases; 83 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) When calculating lease liabilities, the same discount rate was applied for leases with similar characteristics; The calculation of the right-of-use asset did to include initial direct costs; Where a renewal option or a termination option existed, the Company determined the term of lease according to the actual exercise of options and other updates before the first day of implementation.

Where there was a change in lease before the first day of implementation, accounting treatments were applied according to the final arrangement of the lease. (2) The Company as the lessor For subleases classified as operating leases before the first day of implementation and sustained after that, the Company, as the sublease lessor, made re-evaluation and classification based on the remaining term and the provisions of the original lease contract and the sublease contract on the first day of implementation. In addition, the Company made no adjustment to leases with the Company as a lessor according to the transition regulations, instead, accounting treatments were applied in accordance with the Lease Standards as of the first day of implementation. (3) Leaseback transactions For leaseback transactions that existed before the first day of implementation, the Company did not re-evaluate on the first day of implementation whether the asset transfer complied with the provisions of Note III. 26 for accounting treatment as sales. For leaseback transactions that should be treated in accounting as sales and financial leases before the first day of implementation, accounting treatment was applied to the leaseback in the same way as other financial leases by the Company as the seller (lessee), and the deferred gain or loss was amortized over the term of lease. For leaseback transactions that should be treated in accounting as sales and operating leases before the first day of implementation, accounting treatment was applied to the leaseback in the same way as other operating leases by the Company as the seller (lessee), and adjustment was made to the right-of-use asset according to the deferred gain or loss included in the balance sheet before the first day of implementation. Refer to Note 32 (3) for the impact of implementing the Lease Standards on the consolidated financial statements and the parent company's financial statements.

Audit Report Type of Audit Opinion Standard unqualified opinion Audit Report Signed on April 20, 2022 Auditing Firm RSM China (Special General Partnership) Audit Report Number RSM-AR [022] No. 230Z0700 Name of CPAs Wan Yunlong, Jiang Wei, Yao Na Audit Report I. Audit Opinion We have audited the financial statements of Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sungrow), including the Consolidated Balance Sheet and Balance Sheet of Parent Company as at December 31, 2021, the Consolidated Income Statement and Income Statement of Parent Company in 2021, and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Statement of Cash Flows of Parent Company, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Changes in Equity of Parent Company, as well as Notes to the relevant financial statements. In our opinion, the financial statements as attached were prepared in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises in all material aspects, which fairly reflect the consolidated financial position of Sungrow and the parent company as at December 31, 2021, as well as the consolidated operating results and cash flows of Sungrow and the parent company in 2021. II. Ground for the Audit Opinion The audit has been performed in accordance with the Auditing Standards for China Certified Accountants. Our responsibilities under these standards are further explained in the part CPA's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements in the audit report. Abiding by the Code of Conducts for China Certified Public Accountants, we have operated independently from Sungrow, and fulfilled other responsibilities in professional ethics. We believe that the audit evidence we obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a ground for our audit opinion. III. Key Audit Matters Key audit matters are those we consider to be the most important to the audit of financial statements of the current period based on our professional judgment. Such matters are addressed in the context that the financial statements are audited as a whole with the audit opinion issued. We do not express separate opinions on these matters. A. Recoverability of accounts receivable 1. Description of the matter As stated in Notes “III. 10 Financial Instruments” and “V. 4 Accounts Receivable”, the book value of accounts receivable in Sungrow’s consolidated financial statements was RMB 8,748 million, of which bad debt provision was RMB 941 million. The Company determined the bad debt provision according to the recoverability of accounts receivable. To determine the book value of the accounts receivable at the end of the period, the Sungrow management team (hereinafter referred to as the Management) needs to identify the items that have been impaired and the objective evidences, and evaluate the cash flows that are expected in the future and determine their present value, which involves the Management’s use of significant accounting estimates and judgments. Moreover, 122 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) the recoverability of accounts receivable is vital to the financial statements; therefore, we have identified the recoverability of accounts receivable as a key audit matter. 2. Audit response The procedures we performed mainly include the following: (1) Evaluate and test the rationality of design and operational effectiveness of Sungrow's credit policy and internal controls related to accounts receivable management. (2) Analyze the rationality of accounting estimates for bad debt provision for Sungrow's accounts receivable, including the basis for determining the combination of accounts receivable and the judgment on separate bad debts provision. (3) After considering the actual amount of bad debts of similar receivables and the situations in the past, and in combination with customer credit, market condition, and other factors, we evaluated the appropriateness of approaches used by the Management which divide the receivables into several groups for impairment assessment. For receivables that had been accrued for bad debt provision individually, we verified the foundations used by the Management to evaluate the expected cash flow; for receivables that had been accrued for bad debt provision according to the characteristics of credit risk combination, we used expected credit loss rate and aging analysis to test the rationality and accuracy of the Management's provision for bad debts. (4) Evaluate the recoverability of accounts receivable in large amount, with special attention paid to those with an aging of more than one year and those covered in lawsuits filed by Sungrow (for selected samples). Through the investigation of customer background, operating status, litigation situation and etc., we interviewed with lawyers and sales personnel, inspected the letters of confirmation and collections after the period, in order to evaluate the rationality and adequacy of the Management’s bad debts provision. B. Revenue recognition As stated in Notes “3. 26 Principles and Measurements for Revenue Recognition” and “V. 43 Operating Income and Operating Costs”, Sungrow recognized an operating revenue of RMB 24.137 billion, of which the revenue from power station construction business accounted for about 40.10% of the total. Revenue from the Company's power station construction contracts were recognized according to the performance progress, except those for which the performance progress couldn’t be reasonably determined. The performance progress was determined based on the ratio of the contract cost actually incurred in the estimated total contract cost, and was continuously evaluated and revised during the contract execution. Since operating income is one of the Company's key metrics, there might be an inherent risk that the Management manipulate revenue recognition in order to achieve specific goals or expectations; therefore, we have identified revenue recognition as a key audit matter. 2. Audit response The procedures we used mainly include the following: (1) Evaluate and test the design and operational effectiveness of internal controls related to Sungrow's revenue from product sales and power station construction. (2) Verify revenue growth and changes in gross profit in an analytic way. (3) For revenue from product sales, inspect samples of sales contracts, sales invoices, logistics documents, customer receipts, customs declarations and other relevant materials to evaluate the authenticity of revenue recognition; for sales revenue recognized around the date of the balance sheet, run cut-off test and verify supporting documents such as customer receipts, thereby evaluating the completeness of revenue recognition. (4) For revenue from power station construction, compare and analyze the actual total cost of the completed project samples and the total contract cost estimated by the Management before project completion, and evaluate the Management's experience and capacity 123 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) in making the accounting estimation; obtain contracts of major construction projects to verify the total contract revenue, review key contract terms, and confirm the correctness of contract. For major contracts containing power generation commitments, review the basis for determining the power generation estimation and the accuracy of revenue recognition. For the actual cost of major projects, check the supporting documents such as contracts, invoices, equipment receipts, progress confirmation documents, and analyze the gross profit rate of the project, thereby evaluating the authenticity and accuracy of the actual cost accounting. Pick several projects and visit the project sites to determine whether the site status matches the progress recorded. IV. Other information Sungrow’s management team is responsible for other information. Other information includes those covered in Sungrow's 2021 annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our audit report. The audit opinion on financial statements does not cover other information, nor do we make assurance conclusions on other information in any form. As it relates to the audit of financial statements, our responsibility is to read other information and identify whether there are material inconsistence or errors between other information and the financial statements or the situation we learned during the audit. Based on what we have done, if we are certain that material errors exist in other information, we should report. In this case, there is nothing to be reported. V. Management’s and Governance’s Responsibilities for the Financial Statements The Sungrow management team is responsible for preparing and presenting these financial statements fairly in accordance with the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and for designing, implementing, and maintaining necessary internal controls so that the financial statements are free from material misstatements due to fraud or error. When preparing the financial statements, the management team is responsible for evaluating Sungrow’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing matters related to going concerns, and applying going concern assumptions, unless the management team is arranging liquidation, termination, or options of no other realistic alternatives for Sungrow. Sungrow's governance team is responsible for overseeing Sungrow's financial reporting process. VI. CPA's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance on that the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor report containing our audit opinion. A reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, however, there is no assurance that an audit performed in accordance with Auditing Standards can always identify a material misstatement in existence. Misstatements may result from fraud or error, and are generally considered material if, individually or in aggregate, the misstatements could be reasonably expected to influence the economic decisions made by users of the financial statements based on the content of the financial statements. In the process of conducting the audit in accordance with Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism. At the same time, we also perform the following: 1. Identify and evaluate the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error, design and implement auditing procedures to address the risk, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the ground for our audit opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation or override of internal control, the risk of failure to detect material misstatements due to fraud is higher than the risk of failure to detect material misstatements due to error. 2. Understand the audit-related internal controls in order to design appropriate auditing procedures, but the purpose here is not to issue any opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls. 3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies selected by the management team and the rationality of accounting 124 Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. 2021 Annual Report (Concise Version in English) estimates and related disclosures. 4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the going concern assumptions used by the management team. Based on the audit evidence obtained, draw conclusions on whether there are significant uncertainties in matters or situations that are likely to impair Sungrow's ability to continue as a going concern. Should the conclusions considered significant uncertainties, we are required by the auditing standards to remind users of the financial statements to the relevant disclosures in the financial statements; if the disclosures were insufficient, we should not issue our opinion as non-qualified. Our conclusions are based on information available as of the date of the audit report. However, matters or circumstances in the future may still cause Sungrow to cease to operate as a going concern. 5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, and evaluate whether the financial statements fairly reflect the relevant transactions and matters. 6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on the financial information of Sungrow’s entities or business activities, so as to issue the audit opinions on the financial statements. We are responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit, and are solely responsible for the audit opinion we make. We communicate with the governance team on the planned scope, schedule and significant audit findings of the audit, including internal control deficiencies of concern that we identified during our audit. We have also provided the governance team with a statement of compliance with professional ethical requirements related to independence, and communicated with them on all relationships and other matters that might be reasonably believed to affect our independence, together with the corresponding countermeasures. From the list of matters that we have communicated with the governance team, we identify those of the most significance to the audit of financial statements of the current period as the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report unless public disclosure of such matters is prohibited by laws or regulations or; in rare circumstances where the adverse consequences of communicating a matter in the audit report would be reasonably expected to outweigh the benefits in the public interest, we decide not to communicate such matter in the audit report.
