Huawei Advances Energy Transition with New Storage System
Worldwide, Thursday, 8 May 2025.
Huawei’s new energy storage system accelerates the global shift to renewable energy. It combines cutting-edge technology with versatile network solutions to create sustainable energy systems.
Strategic Innovation at Intersolar Europe
At Intersolar Europe 2025, held on May 7, Huawei Digital Power unveiled its comprehensive FusionSolar strategy, marking a significant advancement in energy storage solutions [1]. The event attracted approximately 300 global customers and partners, highlighting the company’s expanding influence in the renewable energy sector [2]. Steven Zhou, President of Smart PV and ESS at Huawei Digital Power, outlined the company’s strategic integration of ‘4T’ technologies - bit, watt, heat, and battery - establishing a foundation for next-generation energy infrastructure [1][2].
Groundbreaking Technical Achievements
Huawei’s Smart String Grid Forming ESS platform has demonstrated remarkable real-world success, particularly in the Red Sea region, where it powers the world’s largest PV+ESS microgrid [1]. This installation, comprising a 1.3 GWh energy storage facility and a 400 MW photovoltaic plant, has successfully provided 100% renewable energy to a city for over 18 months [1]. The system’s technical prowess is further evidenced by its rapid switching capability between grid forming and following modes, achieving transitions in less than 200 milliseconds [3].
Residential and Commercial Applications
In the residential sector, Huawei has launched the innovative LUNA S1-7kWh system, offering a 15-year warranty and delivering 40% more usable energy than industry averages [1]. The system’s scalability, allowing expansion up to 252 kWh, makes it suitable for both residential and small commercial applications [1]. The technology’s effectiveness is demonstrated in challenging environments, such as the Ngari Prefecture installation in China, where at 4,600 meters altitude, the system improved PV integration by 75% [1].
Global Impact and Future Outlook
Huawei Digital Power’s global reach now extends to over 170 countries and regions, serving more than three billion people through its comprehensive energy solutions [6]. With 12 R&D centers across China, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and 2,122 valid patents worldwide [6], the company is strategically positioned to drive the renewable energy transition. Looking ahead, the industry anticipates significant developments with the upcoming release of the ASEAN PV & Storage Standard Guidelines in Q3 2025 [6], which will further standardize and enhance energy storage integration across Southeast Asia.
