2022 Annual Report
Section I Important Notes, Contents and Definitions
The Board of Directors, the Board of Supervisors, directors, supervisors and executives of the
Company hereby guarantee that the information presented in this annual report is truthful,
accurate and integrate, free of any false records, misleading statements or material omissions,
and assume individual and joint legal liabilities thereof.
Cao Renxian as the President of the Company, Tian Shuai as the Chief Accountant, and Li
Pan as the head of accounting department (accounting supervisor) hereby guarantee the
truthfulness, integrity, and accuracy of financial statements in this annual report.
All directors have attended the board meeting to review this report.
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. Investors are kindly advised to pay
attention to investment risks.
(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 integrated
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, the Company actively makes global presence, and continually delves into the global
market to minimize the impact of policy fluctuations within a single country.
(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 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 iteration through R&D innovation and increasing R&D
investment, speed up the research and application of AI technology, so as to constantly
2
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.
2022 Annual Report (Full Copy)
provide customers with value-added services, delivering better customer experience, and
consolidate product advantages in the market.
(3) Risk of collecting accounts receivables
As the domestic market grows rapidly, the Company makes more efforts in 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 has formulated strict credit
management systems and sale-on-credit policies, and actively reduce the risk of
non-performing loans and bad accounts through legal actions.
(4) Risk of international trade frictions
Under the impact of intensified international trade frictions, global economy is under huge
pressure of inclination, governments are launching monetary policies and other economic
stimulation policies. While boosting the economy, such policies may cause bigger 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 complicated global situation and expand the global market on the premise of
ensuring employees’ safety and health. By strengthening the global supply chain layout,
improving supply chain management capabilities, the Company makes every effort to reduce
trade frictions and other impacts, 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
aspects: a. Because of the CNY 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 CNY 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. With the rapid growth of
new energy vehicles, renewable energy power generation, 5G use cases, and charging
infrastructure, 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
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
3
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.
2022 Annual Report (Full Copy)
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. 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.
The board meeting has deliberated and approved the following profit distribution proposal:
Based on a base quantity of 1,478,705,935 shares, a cash dividend of CNY 2.20 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.

Section III Management’s Discussion and Analysis
I. Discussion and analysis of business situation
Despite the complex international situation, economic slowdown, challenging logistics, supply chain price chaos, power device
shortage and many other negative factors in 2022, under the guidance of the global low-carbon goal, renewable energy gained a
vigorous momentum worldwide. In the context of global energy crisis due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, short supply of fossil fuel
and high prices further highlighted the safety and economic benefits of developing renewable energy. Major economies around the
world put significantly more focus on renewable energy, strengthened policy and financial support for renewable energy in order to
get away from fossil energy dependence and accelerate green energy development. For example, the European Union launched the
REPowerEU plan, in which the proportion of renewable energy was increased from 40% to 45% by 2030 and a plan was made to
invest EUR 210 billion more over the next five years to accelerate the growth of green energy. The United States released the IRA
and planned to allocate USD 369 billion to subsidize and support projects in the clean energy sector. India launched the PLI plan to
promote efficient PV manufacturing in India, which was expected to attract a direct investment of nearly INR 940 billion (USD 11.59
billion). China released the 14th Five-Year Plan for Renewable Energy Development and the Implementation Plan for Promoting the
Quality New Energy Development in the New Era, and put forward a number of objects, including consuming renewable energy by
more than 50% in the 14th Five-Year-Plan period, and achieving a total installed capacity of over 1.2 billion kilowatts for wind
power and solar power generation by 2030. On a worldwide scale, the process of new energy transformation, with solar energy being
the representative, accelerated significantly with a quick expansion in scale. According to China Photovoltaic Industry Association,
global installed capacity of PV increased by 230 GW-AC (installed capacity increased by about 276 GW-DC on DC-side, according
to the Company) in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 35.3%, reaching a historic high. The installed capacity mainly came from China,
the European Union, the United States, and India.
In 2023, as new capacity for silicon materials and etc. is gradually released, the upstream supply-demand contradiction that the PV
industry has been suffering for two years will be effectively alleviated. Prices of silicon chips, solar cells and modules started to fall
at the end of last year, and a downward trend is expected throughout this year. The economy of PV power generation will be further
improved, downstream demand for installed capacity will be further supported and released. Driven by the carbon neutrality goals,
clean energy transformation efforts and economic resurrection in many countries, the PV industry looks to a highly prosperous
growth. According to the predictions of China Photovoltaic Industry Association and International Energy Agency, the installed
capacity of new photovoltaic units worldwide will reach 280 to 330 GW in 2023. In 2024, the cumulative installed capacity of
photovoltaic units worldwide will exceed that of hydropower, making it the largest contributor of non-fossil energy power generation.
In 2026, the cumulative installed capacity of photovoltaic units worldwide will exceed that of natural gas. In 2027, the cumulative
installed capacity of photovoltaic units worldwide will exceed that of coal, becoming the world's largest source of power. From 2023
to 2050, an installed capacity of 13,000 GW is expected for photovoltaic units worldwide.

The Company needs to comply with the requirements on the disclosure of PV industry chain related business specified in the
Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s No. 4 Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies — Information Disclosure of GEM-Listed
Companies.
1. 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%.
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. 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. The modular design from "device level" to "system level" reduces
system operation and maintenance costs, and higher equipment uptime rate increases the power generation of PV power stations.
Intelligent medium-voltage shutdown solutions feature intelligent algorithm control between inverters, collector circuit breakers, and
step-up transformers, achieving zero loss standby for step-up transformers and further improving ROI for customers.
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 and result in the escalation of incident. Moreover, inverters are built-in with fast power
25
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.
2022 Annual Report (Full Copy)
control modules to enable quick scheduling in less than 20 ms for reactive power response and support stronger reactive power. They
also support the VSG (virtual synchronous power generation) 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. As new energy application increases year by year, the SCR (short-circuit ratio) of power grid
decreases, which can easily cause frequent disconnection of inverters. Sungrow has developed the adaptive control algorithm to
precisely perceive the strength of power grid. The algorithm has passed the SCR=1.02 weak current grid certification, which
positively promotes an ear of "grid friendliness" and achieves the dual carbon target.
4. PV system safety
As the installed capacity of PV systems increase year by year, safety hazards in PV power stations become an increasingly large
concern. The Company takes the safety of power stations a priority at work and further improves the safety of system design.
Sungrow’s inverter systems are capable of detecting DC series and parallel arc pulling in real time. They have passed relevant
protection certifications, can quickly identify arc pulling based on the intelligent arc pulling detection algorithm, and cut off in
milliseconds to block the damage of arc pulling. Inverters are built with AC/DC insulation monitoring systems to cope with various
application environments, quickly locate insulation faults, enable self-protection in case of cable faults, avoid electric shock and fire
risks, and safeguard the power station round-the-clock. Thanks to the intelligent protection and control algorithms, integrated
isolation switches, and big data-based operations, inverters can precisely identify reverse connections, short circuits, and other faults,
cut off in down to 10 ms, hence effectively avoiding fault escalation.
5. 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 CNY 0.07 to
CNY 0.15 per watt at the moment.
III. Analysis of Core Competitiveness
In the nearly two decades of rapid development, the Company has been committed to the independent innovation of power
electronics and electric energy conversion technology in the new energy field, with a number of technologies reaching the
world-leading level. In recent years, the Company successively deployed a range of new businesses, such as key components of new
energy vehicles, micro-grid energy storage, smart energy and new energy hydrogen production, and gained considerable growth.

The construction contract between the Company and the
customer includes the performance obligation for power
station construction. Since customer has control over the
construction-in-progress during the contract performance,
the Company considers it as a performance obligation
within a certain period of time, and recognizes revenue
according to the progress of performance, unless the
progress of performance cannot be reasonably determined.
Accounting treatment for BT and EPC models
The Company determines the performance progress of
service provision according to the percentage of
investment. The performance progress is the ratio of the
actual cost incurred for the performance of the contract
versus the estimated cost of the contract. The Company
re-estimates the progress of completion or the labor
service provided on the date of the balance sheet, so that it
can reflect changes in the contract performance.

conversion of convertible bonds, share buyback, exercise of equity incentives, and listing of new shares from refinancing, the
Company will adjust the distribution ratio while maintaining the total amount of distribution unchanged.

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, 2022, the Consolidated Income Statement and
Income Statement of Parent Company in 2022, 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, 2022, as well as the consolidated operating results and cash flows of Sungrow and the parent company in 2022.
II. Grounds for the Audit Opinion
The audit has been performed in accordance with the Auditing Standards for Certified Public Accountants of China. 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 China Code of Ethics for 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 CNY 13,804 million, of which bad debt provision was CNY 1,367 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, 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,
125
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.
2022 Annual Report (Full Copy)
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) We evaluated and tested the rationality of design and operational effectiveness of Sungrow's credit policy and internal controls
related to accounts receivable management.
(2) We analyzed 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 divided 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) We evaluated 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
1. Description of the matter
As stated in Notes “III. 26 Principles and Measurements for Revenue Recognition” and “V. 45 Operating Income and Operating
Costs”, Sungrow recognized an operating income of CNY 40,257 million. 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) We evaluated and tested the design and operational effectiveness of internal controls related to Sungrow's revenue from product
sales and power station construction.
(2) We verified revenue growth and changes in gross profit in an analytic way.
(3) For revenue from product sales, we inspected 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, we ran cut-off test and verified supporting documents such as customer receipts,
thereby evaluating the completeness of revenue recognition.
(4) For revenue from power station construction, we compared and analyzed the actual total cost of the completed project samples
and the total contract cost estimated by the Management before project completion to evaluate the Management's experience
and capacity in making the accounting estimation; we inspected contracts of major construction projects to verify the total
contract revenue, review key contract terms, and confirm the correctness of contract revenue. For major contracts involving
power generation commitments, we reviewed the basis for determining the power generation estimation and the accuracy of
126
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.
2022 Annual Report (Full Copy)
revenue recognition. For the actual cost of major projects, we checked the supporting documents such as contracts, invoices,
equipment receipts, progress confirmation documents, and analyzed the gross profit rate of the project, thereby evaluating the
authenticity and accuracy of the actual cost accounting. We shortlisted several projects and visited the project sites to determine
whether the site status matched the progress recorded.
C. Inventories
1. Description of the matter
As stated in Notes “III. 12 Inventories” and “V. 8 Inventories”, as of December 31, 2022, the book balance of inventories in
Sungrow’s consolidated financial statements is CNY 19,684 million, the inventory depreciation provision is CNY 624 million, and
the book value of inventories is CNY 19,060 million. In consideration that the inventory amount is huge and the determination of the
net realizable value of inventories involves significant management judgment, we have identified inventories as a key audit matter.
2. Audit response
The procedures we used mainly include the following:
(1) We evaluated and tested the rationality of design and operational effectiveness of Sungrow's internal controls related to
inventory management.
(2) We supervised inventory counting in the field, and inspected the quantity and status of inventories, with special attention paid to
the ending inventory status and the identification of obsolete stocks. For inventories at customers’ premises, we ran external
confirmations to verify the quantity.
(3) In combination with the audit of accounts payable and prepayments, we ran external confirmations with major suppliers to
verify the purchase amount, ending balance of current transactions, etc.
(4) We analyzed inventory changes and conducted valuation tests on major inventories to verify the accuracy of carrying cost of
inventories.
(5) We obtained the Management’s spreadsheet for calculating inventory depreciation provision, ran the inventory impairment test
and confirmation procedure, checked and analyzed the rationality of the net realizable value, and evaluated the accuracy of the
inventory depreciation reserve and resale.
(6) We conducted peer analysis of Sungrow’s inventory turnover rate and ratio of inventory depreciation provision, to analyze
whether the Company's inventory depreciation significantly deviates from the average level of the peer industry.
(7) We evaluated the appropriateness of the Management's disclosure of inventories and notes in the financial statements.
IV. Other information
Sungrow’s management team is responsible for other information. Other information includes those covered in Sungrow's 2022
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
127
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.
2022 Annual Report (Full Copy)
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 grounds for our audit opinion. Since fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation or override of internal controls, 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 an appropriate auditing procedure.
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies selected by the Management and the rationality of accounting estimates and
related disclosures.
4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the going concern assumptions used by the Management. 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 an audit opinion 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
128
Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.
2022 Annual Report (Full Copy)
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 a matter in the audit report.
