Canadian Solar: The majority shareholder expects annual revenue to reach between $6.1 billion and $7.1 billion. The company anticipates a shipment of 7.5-8.0 GW of solar products for the year, balancing price and volume given current market conditions. The expected energy storage shipment volume is projected to be between 2.4 and 2.6 GWh, with a total annual estimate between 7.0 and 9.0 GWh. As of March 31, 2025, Canadian Solar’s energy storage division (e-STORAGE) has approximately 91 GWh in order reserves, including signed long-term service agreements, with contracts totaling $3.2 billion (approximately ¥229.8 billion).

LONGi Green Energy Shines at Intersolar Germany: The event, centered on “Accelerating the Energy Transition,” featured 19 indoor exhibition halls and 1 outdoor area, with 10 halls dedicated to solar energy, showcasing cutting-edge technologies in photovoltaic modules, energy storage systems, and smart energy management.

CET Technology has introduced a comprehensive smart microgrid solution integrating solar, storage, and charging capabilities. Utilizing their proprietary microgrid controller (CET-7320) and local monitoring station (CET-6602), the system provides real-time data monitoring on solar output and storage status, dynamically optimizes energy strategies, and manages energy balance to ensure grid stability.

Huawei has partnered with Albasolar in Italy to advance commercial energy storage systems (BESS). This collaboration aims to enhance energy optimization and self-consumption projects across the country, demonstrating Huawei’s ongoing expansion in Europe’s energy storage market.

Chint Power has successfully connected its 1.6 MW/3.3 MWh commercial energy storage system in Kumamoto, Japan, to the grid, combining it with an existing solar power system. This integration improves the user’s energy consumption ratio, storing excess energy generated during the day for use during peak demand or emergencies, significantly reducing electricity costs.

Everbright New Energy is leveraging integrated solutions that merge solar, storage, and charging facilities to enhance the use of clean energy, optimize grid load, and expedite electric vehicle charging. The system is tailored to efficiently manage peak and idle periods at highway charging stations.

Haitian Storage has partnered with Schoenergie to launch its first large-scale energy storage project in Germany. This collaboration signifies a strategic deepening of Haitian Storage’s presence in the European market, injecting innovative technology into Germany’s energy transition. The project will deploy an advanced 21 MW/55 MWh storage system alongside a neighboring 20 MW solar power plant.

Trina Solar has developed a liquid-cooled storage system that integrates modular fire protection units, enhancing both accident isolation and heat management performance. The system is supported by an AI-driven cloud monitoring platform that provides 24/7 operational status and risk alerts.

The 50 MW solar project in Zambia, part of the “Gigawatt Power Plan,” has officially commenced construction. Accompanied by a 20 MW battery storage system, this project aims to meet the energy needs of thousands of households while enhancing the stability of the southern grid. This initiative is prioritized by Turkish YEO Energy and President Hakainde Hichilema, targeting an additional 1,000 MW of power capacity by 2025 to alleviate regional power shortages.

Haida showcased its innovations at The Smarter E Europe 2025, with a focus on half-solid-state technology and sodium-ion batteries. The event attracted over 300 visitors daily, highlighting the growing interest in sodium storage systems.
