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...
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...
Looking across the global energy storage market map for 2026, you'd be hard-pressed to find a place like Australia: subsidy budgets have skyrocketed from AU$2.3 billion to AU$7.2 billion, end-user demand has surged to the point where installers' schedules are booked until the second half of the year, and a Chinese brand established only three years ago has even dethroned Tesla. These are all facts...
Without a press conference or official announcement, a significant ban was quietly implemented during a video conference in Brussels, the EU capital. According to the German magazine Der Spiegel, on April 23, the European Commission, in a closed-door manner, directly halted subsidies for Chinese-made solar and battery inverters—effective immediately. The report states that the meeting was ch...
Those in the energy storage industry likely share the same feeling: kW (kilowatts) and kWh (kilowatt-hours), these two fundamental units seem simple enough to be overlooked, but whether you're a newcomer or a seasoned veteran, you'll occasionally confuse them. Most people can memorize the terms, but don't understand what they represent in actual projects, what the differences are, or how they affe...
In just half a month, three major fires have engulfed rooftops in three different countries. Recently, three seemingly unrelated fires—one in a domestic chemical plant, one in a cold chain warehouse across the ocean, and one in a European residential building—all pointed to rooftop photovoltaic (PV) modules. With summer approaching, a peak fire season, rooftop PV fires are evolving fro...
Energy storage is penetrating the catering industry at an unprecedented pace! In March 2026, in the underground equipment area of a five-star hotel in Changsha, Hunan, 19 261kWh energy storage cabinets were neatly arranged and quietly operating. This is the 2.375MW/4.959MWh industrial and commercial energy storage system project recently put into operation at the Hunan Rongcheng Garden Hote...
Recently, the Hainan Provincial People's Government released the "15th Five-Year Plan for Hainan National Ecological Civilization Pilot Zone (15th Five-Year Plan for Beautiful Hainan Construction)," which clearly proposes to steadily promote the ban on the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles by 2030. Hainan thus becomes the first province in China to cease the sale of gasoline-powered vehicles. In f...
