Sungrow expanding activities in MENA region
Sungrow secured a 7.8 GWh battery storage deal from Saudi Arabia last year and is planning to strengthen its presence across the whole Middle East.
HTW Berlin 2025 energy storage inspection: Kostal, SAX Power set new efficiency records
The evaluation confirmed the outstanding system efficiency of European inverter manufacturers, in particular. It also found large differences in efficiency of certain hybrid inverters from the maximum efficiency specifications provided by the manufacturers on the data sheets.
Large batteries with grid-forming inverters can increase renewables hosting capacity
Researchers recommended that transmission system operators consider adopting grid-forming battery energy storage systems system-wide to improve grid stability and to maximize system hosting capacity for solar and wind generation.
Higher voltage faces greater resistance
Utility-scale solar is set to crank up the voltage, preparing to shift from 1.5 kV to 2 kV on the DC side. It is a move that could redefine PV system design and slash costs, but it won’t happen globally due to vastly different regulations as voltages rise, reports Tristan Rayner.
Deye debuts off-grid inverters for residential PV
Deye said its new single-phase off-grid inverters have an AC output power ranging from 3.6 kW to 6 kW. The systems feature a maximum efficiency of 97.6% and a European efficiency rate of 96.5%.
Bangladesh proposes import duty, VAT exemptions for solar products
Bangladesh’s government has proposed exempting import duties and value-added tax (VAT) on renewable energy components under its draft Renewable Energy Policy 2025, now open for public consultation. If approved, the provisions will take effect upon publication in the official gazette.
InterSolution showcases solar innovations in Benelux market
More than 100 companies from eight different countries exhibited at InterSolution 2025, the largest solar energy trade fair for Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Fronius presents new inverters for C&I projects
The Austrian manufacturer said its new Argeno inverter features an efficiency of 99.1%, a European efficiency of 98.7%, and a rated AC power output of 125 kW.
Cincon unveils DC-DC converters for solar trackers, inverters, battery management
