Solar storage

The collaboration will focus on rethinking battery life cycles, with new pilot projects and policy dialogues aimed at scaling up reuse, remanufacturing and recycling across the supply chain.

PV Guided Tours: Huawei FusionSolar is unveiling its new Luna2000 utility-scale battery storage system with a capacity of five MWh. The current 4.5 MWh systems have already received the Prime safety certificate from TÜV Rheinland.

Technological progress and rising demand are accelerating the development of solid-state batteries. The sector is expected to gain significant market traction by 2025, according to a new report from IDTechEx.

The storage system in the Atacama Desert complements an existing 220 MW PV plant and includes black-start capability.

PV Guided Tours: SAX Power offers an AC storage system that operates without a battery inverter. It is also a multi-talent – suitable for both new solar systems and retrofits. Is this storage system really as simple as the provider promises? Watch the video to find out.

PV Guided Tours: The new integrated system Power Store, combining a C&I battery storage unit with a safety container, offers comprehensive protection in the event of thermal runaway. When designing storage systems for commercial applications, both customised system design and rapid amortisation are essential considerations. Watch the video to learn more!

PV Guided Tours: Fenecon presents the Industrial XL with 1.5 megawatts and four megawatt hours in a new container format for large-scale projects, alongside a new flexible power pack for SMEs and the updated Commercial 92 in an innovative split tower design.

PV Guided Tours: The system supplies three-phase backup power and utilises an intelligent EMS. The focus is clearly on safety and efficiency – including for the new, hybrid-cooled Luna2000-215kWh battery storage system for C&I. It has been awarded the highest safety certificate by TÜV Rheinland.

CEO Talk: Power storage for C&I applications is booming. Sofar is expanding its portfolio with the launch of the new PowerIn system this year, and is ramping up sales across Europe. What's the strategy behind this push? Let‘s find out.

CEO Talk: In a world driven by electric energy, Ampace is one of the forerunners of technology. From cutting-edge batteries to intelligent energy solutions, the company is fuelling the future for all kinds of applications – one charge at a time.

PV Guided Tours: The new Sigenergy app uses AI to optimise energy management, with new features that support the integration of DC optimisers, bidirectional charging and energy tradin  – good news for cost-conscious users. The second-generation hybrid inverter, with battery packs and easy retrofit options, is now available.

CEO Talk: The market for home storage is sluggish, while C&I and large-scale storage are gradually gaining ground. To boost sales, the right strategy is essential. The key question remains: What factors determine success in this market? Franz-Josef Feilmeier, CEO of Fenecon explains.

PV Guided Tours: Atmoce presents two new innovative products – a micro inverter and a low-voltage battery. The M-ELV battery operates at less than 30 volts, increasing safety for installers and simplifying day-to-day work. Intelligent energy management system connects both components. The low-voltage technology is designed to benefit private households as well as commercial users.

PV Guided Tours: Intelligent systems are replacing standalone components and AI now manages storage systems, wall boxes and energy flows to make the most of solar power. It’s not science fiction, it’s already here. Still sceptical? Prepare to be surprised!

PV Guided Tours: Industry and commercial enterprises can reduce electricity costs in various ways using storage systems – but security is key. Luis Haya, Solution Manager Chint Power Systems, explains which features are needed to ensure security is safeguarded.

Members of the European Parliament are calling on the European Commission to propose an EU strategy on energy flexibility – an initiative backed by SolarPower Europe.

This week’s product highlights include Sungrow’s new PowerTitan 3.0 storage system, a dual-axis tracker from Anywhere Solar, Over Easy Solar’s vertical mounting solution and the new Reserva battery from Fronius.

With a nominal output of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 80 MWh, the facility marks the latest in a series of energy storage investments by MET Group across Europe.

The new DC storage from Austrian manufacturer Fronius fills an important gap in its product portfolio, making it a complete system provider. The Reserva is a high-voltage battery that provides almost loss-free charging and discharging power.

Large-scale storage systems are gaining ground across Europe, driven by growing demand for grid stabilisation and peak load shifting. Italy, Great Britain and Germany are leading the charge. Download the new e-paper for free.

Podcast: Energy Center is an iron flow storage system from ESS Inc. in Oregon, United States. The storage device offers 1.16 MWh of storage capacity and a maximum charging capacity of 174 kW. This modular solution comes in a single container and can be adapted to numerous commercial and network applications. Alan Greenshields, Director EMEA of ESS, discusses term storage systems and the potential of redox flow technlogy with the sustainable materials of iron, salt and water.

The smarter E Europe trade fair in 2025 demonstrated just how rapidly advanced storage technologies and system integration are evolving. This year’s award winners in the Energy Storage and Smart System Integration categories reflect the breadth of innovation and momentum that characterise this moment.

PV Guided Tours: The new Tesvolt Forton battery system enables commercial enterprises to participate profitably in energy trading for the first time. Thanks to high-temperature cells with LFP technology, classic applications such as peak load capping and solar self-consumption are now more cost-effective. A 15-year performance guarantee with two full cycles per day ensures a secure investment.

An innovative battery energy storage system at RWE’s Moerdijk power plant in the Netherlands has begun commercial operation. It is the first installation of its kind to support inertia in the Central European electricity grid.

Sungrow has introduced its PowerTitan 3.0 energy storage platform for utility-scale applications. Designed for today’s increasingly complex energy landscape, the system delivers standardised solutions with high flexibility, power density and safety.
