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...
User-side energy storage, as the name suggests, is an energy storage system installed on the electricity user's side, widely used in industrial and commercial parks, high-energy-consuming enterprises, and residential communities. It, along with power-side energy storage and grid-side energy storage, constitutes the three major application areas of energy storage, but its **core characterist...
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 ...
In the past few days, a new term has quietly become popular in the AI community—"token economy." 01. The Token Economy: Rewriting the Underlying Logic of Data Centers What is a token?

For example, humans read in units of words; when AI understands the world, it breaks down ...
Without a press conference or official announcement, a significant ban was quietly implemented during a video conference in Brussels, the EU capital. According to the German magazine Der Spiegel, on April 23, the European Commission, in a closed-door manner, directly halted subsidies for Chinese-made solar and battery inverters—effective immediately. The report states that the meeting was ch...
According to a report by energy think tank Ember, the Philippines has become the second-largest market for Chinese photovoltaic (PV) module exports, which are expected to drive significant growth in its rooftop PV market. China's PV module exports to the Philippines reached a new record in 2026. To date, 4.133 GW of Chinese PV modules have arrived at Philippine ports. More than 2 GW of Chin...
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...
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. This is the 2.375MW/4.959MWh industrial and commercial energy storage system project recently put into operation at the Hunan Rongcheng Garden Hote...
