Huawei has partnered with Italy’s Albasolar to enhance energy optimization through energy storage solutions. They are also collaborating with Pylontech to advance the initial phase of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) factory in the Veneto region. Industry experts indicate that as European industrial electricity costs rise and the pressure for carbon neutrality increases, the cooperation between China and Italy in energy storage technologies and project implementation will intensify, becoming a significant driver for regional energy transformation.

Haidex presented at The Smarter E Europe 2025 event, showcasing innovative technologies aimed at enhancing global energy storage safety. The company introduced a 20-foot energy storage cabinet designed to meet high power demands, operating efficiently across a wide temperature range (-30°C to 60°C), while reducing the levelized cost of energy by 20%. In the maritime sector, their high-rate modules increase peak power by 40%, catering to the instant demands of hybrid vessels. As large-scale applications progress, sodium batteries are expected to reveal their cost advantages and adaptability in the industrial and commercial energy storage sector. Moreover, Haidex’s 20-foot sodium battery storage cabinet, with its high adaptability and economic feasibility, has attracted procurement interests from several European clients, with future focuses on grid-side applications.

Canadian Solar has maintained its position as a Tier 1 global energy storage manufacturer according to the BNEF Tier 1 ranking. The criteria for this ranking are stringent, assessing storage project scale, innovation in storage technology, brand recognition, and overall corporate strength. For the first time, localization capacity has been included in the evaluation, requiring companies to demonstrate verified localized engineering delivery and service capabilities in at least two international markets. Canadian Solar’s comprehensive storage systems cater to various applications, including residential, industrial, and large-scale ground-mounted plants, meeting diverse intelligent energy management needs across the public utility, industrial, and residential sectors.

On April 30, Huawei successfully hosted the Future Energy Summit for the Asia-Pacific region in Bangkok, Thailand, with nearly 600 customers, partners, and installers attending. Sun Xiaofeng, President of Huawei’s Digital Energy Intelligent Photovoltaics Business, highlighted the global push for solar and wind energy applications, aiming to triple the installed capacity by 2030. Additionally, the expected installation capacity of energy storage systems is projected to increase sixfold. This goal emphasizes the core role of renewable energy in the global energy structure and showcases the importance of storage technology in achieving energy transformation.

Kehua Tech exhibited its all-scenario solutions at the exhibition, featuring a 1500V energy storage inverter and integrated solutions that support multiple devices operating in parallel. This solution offers additional inertia support for the grid and integrates core solutions like black start capabilities and virtual synchronous generators. In response to the global demand for long-duration energy storage, Kehua Tech has upgraded its energy management systems and energy storage inverters to enhance their offerings.

JinkoSolar announced a strategic partnership with TRANS-KOL at the Intersolar Europe 2025 exhibition. This collaboration aims to expand Jinko’s presence in Poland and throughout Europe, providing scalable solutions to meet the growing energy demands of grid operators and businesses. The partnership reinforces the SunGiga Dolphin commercial storage system, enhancing photovoltaic efficiency while achieving dual goals of energy optimization and grid stability. This collaboration marks a critical breakthrough in upgrading energy infrastructure in Poland.

In Q1 2025, JinkoSolar reported a decrease in newly installed storage capacity for the first time. The user-side installations remain primarily in the industrial and commercial sector, with East China accounting for over 50% of the installations. New energy storage projects were launched across 24 provinces and municipalities, with 14 provinces exceeding 100 MW in installed capacity. Hebei Province, supported by large projects like the independent energy storage station in Zhangjiakou, added over 1 million kilowatts. Mixed storage technologies are accelerating deployment, exemplified by the Guoneng Ningdong New Energy mixed storage demonstration station, which employs a combination of lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and supercapacitor technologies.

Solid State Energy, a leading photovoltaic storage company, is leveraging a “dual circulation” strategy to innovate its all-scenario energy solutions, aiming to lead the domestic market while accelerating international development. Established 15 years ago, Solid State Energy has identified energy storage technology as a key to unlocking trillion-dollar market opportunities, achieving significant growth in African and Asian markets.

In Dongguan, Guangdong, a plan is underway to add 3 GW of distributed photovoltaic capacity during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. This initiative aims to accelerate the development and utilization of existing resources, especially in high-energy-consuming industries, and encourages the construction of distributed photovoltaic systems. Emphasis is placed on promoting the integration of photovoltaic systems with energy storage facilities, modernizing industrial parks, and upgrading old residential areas.

Sig Energy successfully held a product launch event in Hanoi, Vietnam, introducing its commercial photovoltaic storage solution, the Sig Zero Carbon Park, along with a second-generation hybrid inverter. The event attracted participation from various local government departments and associations, focusing on providing stable and safe power supply through highly integrated, modular designs and intelligent operation systems. The newly launched energy storage system includes a series of commercial inverters (50kW-125kW) and modular storage systems.
