Two of the major European solar trade associations, the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) and SolarPower Europe (SPE), have called for EU policymakers to take measures to support European solar manufacturing. In a joint letter to the European Commission and Ministers of the Competitiveness Council ahead of a solar PV ministerial meeting on 30 September 2025, the two solar associat...
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...
As typhoons unleash their fury with howling winds and torrential rains, vast solar arrays—those symbols of green energy—face their ultimate test. Can these meticulously engineered systems withstand nature’s violent outburst? From the glass surfaces of photovoltaic panels to the metal skeletons of mounting structures, every component battles immense forces that threaten to dismant...
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...
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...
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...
