The Chinese company says that the new product is available in 40 kW, 50 kW, and 60 kW versions. The product has a maximum efficiency of 99%.

Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia’s cumulative solar generation increased sixfold between 2019 and 2024, while each country made efforts to reduce its coal dependency. However, energy think tank Ember says a lack of battery storage uptake and solar targets below the EU average risk derailing progress.

Analysis by pv magazine shows almost 2.1 million battery storage systems (BESS) are now in operation in Germany. The latest figures for this year are 362,537 systems with a power output of around 2.6 GW and a cumulative storage capacity of 4.59 GWh.

As off-grid solar systems expand to serve remote and underserved communities worldwide, digitalization has become a crucial need for efficient project development, implementation, and long-term sustainability. A new report from IEA PVPS Task 18 systematically explores digital tools across the entire off-grid energy project value chain, providing much-needed guidance for practitioners looking to optimize their operations.

At Intersolar 2025, Sungrow’s Brazil country manager, Rafael Ribeiro, told pv magazine Brasil the company submitted more than 80 proposals to supply battery energy storage systems (BESS) between January and June alone, to projects interested in participating in the Leilão de Reserva de Capacidade na Forma de Potência (LRCAP) auction for battery storage.

Germany’s grid connection requests for battery storage exceed 500 GW, a figure driven by a “first come, first served” approval system rather than viable projects, according to Regelleistung-Online.

An “explosion” of renewable energy projects and associated infrastructure is expected to supercharge construction activity in regional Australia at twice the rate of work in capital cities over the next two years.

Eelpower Ltd. joins consortium of public and private sector investors to launch new battery energy storage system (BESS) developer – Eelpower Energy. The developer is targeting final investment decisions on up to 1 GWh of capacity by the end of 2025.

Energy storage in Brazil is entering a period of accelerated growth. Despite the absence of a legal framework, companies are expanding battery production, diversifying models, and preparing storage to play a central role in the energy transition.

Fluence says its new Houston fab brings the number of its US production sites to five and has helped employ more than 1,200 manufacturing workers this year.
