Ecoflow’s Ocean 2 Single-Phase combines a hybrid inverter with an Ocean 2 LFP 5 kWh battery module. Key updates include AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) support, an upgraded battery rated for 10,000 cycles (previously 6,000), 3.4 kW discharge power, reduced weight (46 kg) and a more compact design with a height of just 279 mm (without handle).
The stackable Ocean 2 LFP battery also passed a 72-hour water immersion test and includes advanced protections such as Cloud BMS and self-heating. The Ocean 2 Single-Phase supports up to six 5 kWh batteries per inverter, allowing installers to size capacity accurately from the outset and expand the system later as electrification needs grow.
Ecoflow also showcased its PowerOcean Plus for light commercial and industrial applications, its HEMS (home energy management system), PowerPulse 2.0 (7 kW) for electric vehicle charging, the PowerHeat heating rod and portable power stations.

Hyxi presented its latest generation of storage systems for residential and commercial use, including the MS3000AC storage unit with 3.014 kWh capacity, 10,000 cycles, a 10-year warranty, IP66 protection, a 3 kW bidirectional inverter, automotive-grade A+ cells and AI-supported cloud connectivity. The system supports PV self-consumption, backup power and flexible grid interaction.
For commercial applications, the Chinese manufacturer highlighted its three-phase grid inverter HYX-S150-125K-T and the Hyxi Atlas liquid-cooled ESS with LFP batteries (125 kW / 261 kWh) and integrated EMS. Solavita also showcased its latest 3–6 kW high-voltage hybrid inverters in Rimini.

BYD presented its broad portfolio of storage solutions, ranging from grid-forming container batteries for gigawatt-scale applications to its scalable high-voltage Battery-Box HVB, which can be configured from 5.94 to 89.07 kWh.
As the first manufacturer to equip its Battery-Box with LFP blade batteries from its electric vehicles, widely regarded as safer and lighter than conventional cells, the company set an early benchmark with its stackable, scalable Battery-Box design, now widely adopted across the industry. BYD is also one of the few manufacturers to produce its own battery cells.

Austrian wallbox provider Go-E, active in the Italian market since last year, was also present in Rimini, demonstrating its intelligent charging systems designed for PV self-consumption and bidirectional charging. As Ronald Kroke, Head of Marketing, emphasised in conversation with pv Europe, managing charging is particularly important in Italian households, where only a single-phase connection with low power, often just 3.7 kW, is common.
