In March this year, McDonald's, the world's largest fast food chain, announced that its Yunshan Tiandi restaurant in Guangzhou, China, was officially opened. Unlike McDonald's' other 6,000 restaurants across China, this is the first "zero-carbon restaurant" in China that integrates photovoltaic power generation and energy storage: the entire restaurant adopts the green energy utilization model of ...
As the global transportation sector seeks sustainable solutions to reduce carbon footprints and combat climate change, solar energy is emerging as a game-changer. Photovoltaic (PV) technology is increasingly integrated into transportation infrastructure, powering everything from electric vehicle (EV) charging stations to smart highways. At the forefront of this revolution is SUNROVER, a pioneer in...
On May 25, the National New Energy Storage Pilot Demonstration Project - Southern Power Grid Baochi Energy Storage Station was put into operation in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan. This is the first large-scale lithium-sodium hybrid energy storage station in China, which realizes the "one-station application" of various new grid-building energy storage technologies, while ensuring the stable access of...
As record-breaking heatwaves become increasingly common, owners of photovoltaic (PV) energy storage systems face unique challenges. While sunshine fuels solar generation, extreme high temperatures can paradoxically hinder performance and impact system longevity. Understanding these effects and implementing mitigation strategies is crucial for maintaining optimal energy harvest and storage resilien...
Imagine a world where your commercial parking lot does more than just shield cars from the elements. What if it became a dynamic, revenue-generating asset, slashing energy bills and positioning your company as a leader in sustainability? This is no longer a futuristic concept but a present-day reality made possible by integrated solar carport and battery storage (PV-storage) systems. This innovati...
When discussing energy storage projects, the terms MW and MWh appear frequently. Many people are confused by these two abbreviations: what exactly do they mean and what's the difference? Simply put, MW is a unit of power, and MWh is a unit of energy. In power systems, MW and MWh are core metrics for describing system capabilities. Understanding the difference between these two concepts is as cruci...
When we discuss today's energy revolution, "battery" is undoubtedly one of the core keywords. From speeding electric cars to the large-scale energy storage power stations silently supporting the power grid, battery technology is changing our lives at an unprecedented pace. However, did you know that the batteries that power electric cars and those used to store wind and solar energy, while both ca...
Designing a battery energy storage system (BESS) is a critical step toward achieving energy independence, optimizing renewable energy use, and ensuring backup power. Whether for residential, commercial, or industrial applications, a well-designed BESS can significantly reduce electricity costs, enhance grid stability, and contribute to a sustainable future. In this blog, we’ll walk through t...
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...
