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...
SpaceX's space photovoltaic story is facing a new test. On July 17th, Beijing time, SpaceX's 13th Starship test flight was aborted at ignition due to an malfunction in four engines. The giant rocket remained motionless on the launch pad. Following the news, the stock price fell by more than 3% in after-hours trading.

For a long time, the mention of deserts, Gobi, and wastelands conjured images of sandstorms, unsuitability for development, and even ecological governance challenges. Now, these barren lands are becoming a crucial battleground for China's new energy development. The plan proposes prioritizing the construction of wind and solar power bases in the "Three Norths" region (Northwest, North, and Northwe...
The safety of solar power systems has once again become a focal point of public attention. Just recently, a major fire broke out in the Springwood ward of Marden Hospital in North Yorkshire, England. When firefighters arrived, the entire building was engulfed in flames. Fortunately, all 15 patients were safely evacuated without injury. Subsequent investigations suggest that rooftop solar panels we...
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...
