The booming energy storage market was foreseeable. "Energy storage," as the name suggests, involves storing electrical energy. Storing electrical energy requires a medium or container, and batteries are precisely the containers that store electrical energy. Generally, two main types of batteries are used in photovoltaic energy storage systems: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. ...
The Australian government's expansion of its nationwide "More Affordable Residential Batteries Scheme" has been met with a swift response from homeowners. The scheme allows customers to purchase from an approved list of devices and receive a rebate of approximately 30% of the upfront purchase cost through small technology certificates. Launched in July this year, the scheme was a core promi...
Germany has adjusted the price cap for its 2026 rooftop solar PV system tenders to €0.10/kWh (approximately US$0.117/kWh). This cap is slightly lower than the €0.104/kWh cap set for 2025 rooftop solar PV tenders, but still higher than the average price in this year's tenders. The average price of tenders held in the first quarter of 2025 was €0.091/kWh, with a winning ...
In the three months ending November 2025, US photovoltaic module prices remained stable at slightly above $0.28/watt, but this situation may be fragile due to the upcoming decision by the US solar industry regarding Section 232 compliance. These are the key findings of Anza's latest report on the US solar and battery energy storage (BESS) sector, released this week. The report notes that al...
Recently, China's first large-capacity all-solid-state battery production line has been completed and entered the small-batch testing and production stage. So, what exactly is an all-solid-state battery? Why is it considered a key driver of the future development of the new energy vehicle industry? Today, let's take a closer look at the several rounds of upgrades all-solid-state batteries h...
User-side energy storage, as the name suggests, is an energy storage system installed on the electricity user's side, widely used in industrial and commercial parks, high-energy-consuming enterprises, and residential communities. It, along with power-side energy storage and grid-side energy storage, constitutes the three major application areas of energy storage, but its **core characterist...
Common battery packs generally use three cooling methods: liquid cooling, air cooling, and natural cooling. Battery cells are quite sensitive to temperature, with an optimal operating temperature generally between 15 and 35°C. Temperature variations cause varying degrees of capacity reduction in lithium batteries; specifically, at -10°C, usable capacity is 70%; at 0°C, it's 85%; and at...
In the first nine months of this year, global solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation reached 2109.76 TWh, exceeding the total solar power generation for the entire year of 2024. This data comes from the "Third Quarter Global Electricity Report" released today by the think tank Ember Climate. In the first nine months of this year, global solar power generation increased by 498 TWh compared...
Out of cybersecurity concerns, members of the European Parliament have urged the European Commission to restrict Chinese solar inverter manufacturers from accessing the EU's energy infrastructure. In an open letter to European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen and Energy and Housing Commissioner Dan Jørgensen, 30 MEPs called for "immediate and binding measures" to p...
The international energy storage market in October was turbulent, with intense trade and industrial policy maneuvering between China and the United States causing ripples in the global clean energy supply chain. On October 9th, my country's Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs jointly issued an announcement imposing export controls on key items such as lithium batterie...
