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.

The plan proposes prioritizing the construction of wind and solar power bases in the "Three Norths" region (Northwest, North, and Northwe...
In the summer of 2026, a new type of equipment increasingly appeared on apartment balconies in Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich: one or two solar panels hanging on the outside of the railing, a small inverter hidden behind them, and a suitcase-sized energy storage battery placed beside them. Unlike traditional rooftop solar systems that require construction teams, electricians, approvals, and grid conn...
