Podcast: The Energy Center from ESS Inc. in Oregon is an iron flow storage system offering 1.16 MWh of capacity and 174 kW of maximum charging power. Housed in a single container, the modular unit is designed for a range of commercial and grid applications. Alan Greenshields, Director EMEA at ESS, discusses long-duration storage and the role of redox flow technology using sustainable materials such as iron, salt and water.
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.
New analysis finds Croatia may require up to 1,620 MW of battery storage to support renewable expansion and shows how needs vary across different deployment scenarios.
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.
As European balancing markets near saturation, the business model for battery storage is undergoing a fundamental shift. Securing long-term returns now demands that optimisers adopt sophisticated spot trading strategies, argues Stephan Lehrke of Second Foundation.
Flexible demand is already competing with battery storage in parts of ancillary services and capacity markets, though evidence of broader effects on wholesale price spreads remains limited, says Pexapark analyst Nicolas Briet.
Chips and valuations dominate the AI narrative, but reliable electricity is emerging as a key constraint on infrastructure build-out and long-term competitiveness, says Vireo Ventures CEO Felix Krause.
Europe’s power grids resemble a congested highway, with renewable projects queuing for connection. Moritz Rolf of Sungrow outlines how storage and coordination can help ease the bottlenecks.
Energy costs shape competitiveness in both global and local markets. As fossil and nuclear prices continue to rise, solar and wind are no longer marginal technologies but increasingly represent the smart money in power generation.
PV on Tour – The Evercore series from Solis integrates inverter, battery and energy management in a single unit, offering 100 kW power and 120 kWh capacity. The larger version delivers up to 261 kWh, paired with a hybrid inverter rated at 50 or 60 kW.
Figures from sun.store show a broad price correction in residential batteries, while commercial and industrial prices declined across both capacity ranges, with sharper drops in smaller systems.
Built on Whes hardware and proprietary software, the system is designed to scale across commercial and industrial settings, with additional applications in smaller utility environments.
As energy demands grow, flexibility and reliability become even more essential. Designed for commercial operations, agricultural businesses and larger residential buildings, the new Fronius Reserva Pro delivers both. This high-performance battery system offers impressive capacity, European cell and module manufacturing, and seamless integration into the Fronius ecosystem.
Hybrid power plants combining PV with wind and battery storage are gaining ground across Europe and will feature prominently at the industry gathering in Munich from 23 to 25 June.
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 our latest free e-paper now.
CEO Talk: Demand for large storage systems is surging across Europe, but delivering them involves major challenges – from permitting and financing to construction and operation. Michael Hierholzer of Rolls-Royce explains why experienced and reliable partners are key.
Hithium’s modular Power Flexsso, offered in 3.125 MWh and 6.25 MWh (four-hour) configurations, weighs under 26 tons per unit, allowing standard road transport and simplifying deployment across regions with logistical constraints.
