The time-of-use electricity pricing policies successively introduced by various regions have dealt a heavy blow to the entire industrial and commercial energy storage sector. Take Jiangsu Province, for example, where a recent adjustment to its TOU pricing policy shifted the original "agent purchase electricity price + transmission and distribution electricity price" to a "agent purchase electricit...
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...
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...
In the first nine months of this year, global solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation reached 2109.76 TWh, exceeding the total solar power generation for the entire year of 2024. This data comes from the "Third Quarter Global Electricity Report" released today by the think tank Ember Climate. In the first nine months of this year, global solar power generation increased by 498 TWh compared...
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...
Germany has adjusted the price cap for its 2026 rooftop solar PV system tenders to €0.10/kWh (approximately US$0.117/kWh). This cap is slightly lower than the €0.104/kWh cap set for 2025 rooftop solar PV tenders, but still higher than the average price in this year's tenders. The average price of tenders held in the first quarter of 2025 was €0.091/kWh, with a winning ...
The Australian government's expansion of its nationwide "More Affordable Residential Batteries Scheme" has been met with a swift response from homeowners. The scheme allows customers to purchase from an approved list of devices and receive a rebate of approximately 30% of the upfront purchase cost through small technology certificates. Launched in July this year, the scheme was a core promi...
The booming energy storage market was foreseeable. "Energy storage," as the name suggests, involves storing electrical energy. Storing electrical energy requires a medium or container, and batteries are precisely the containers that store electrical energy. Generally, two main types of batteries are used in photovoltaic energy storage systems: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. ...
Energy storage has significant application value in the power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption sectors of the power system and is one of the main supporting technologies of the energy internet. Under the new ecosystem, what role does grid-side energy storage play? What are its functions? I. What is Grid-Side Energy Storage? Grid-side energy storage: Generally refers t...
