SHENZHEN, China, January 6, 2025 — Huawei Digital Power unveiled its Top 10 Trends for FusionSolar 2025, themed “Integrated Innovation for an Intelligent Future, Accelerating PV to Become the Main Energy Source.” Steven Zhou, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line at Huawei Digital Power, presented these trends alongside a white paper, offering insights into the future of the PV and energy storage sector.
According to Steven Zhou, following positive renewable energy policies in 2024, the PV and energy storage industry is poised for continued growth in 2025. This global energy transition presents significant opportunities. Huawei Digital Power, a key player in this shift, has identified ten key trends based on its extensive experience, encompassing both core technologies and practical applications. Huawei Digital Power is dedicated to driving the adoption of PV as the primary energy source.
Trend 1: Renewable Energy Generators Will Spearhead PV’s Rise as the Main Energy Source
Extensive development of renewable energy generator technology, encompassing research, product development, testing, and large-scale deployment, is underway. This technology is vital for new power systems, rapidly transforming PV into the dominant energy source.
Trend 2: Grid Formation Across All Scenarios
Widespread energy storage and grid-forming capabilities will ensure the long-term reliability of new power systems. Energy storage systems (ESS), as critical power grid components, play a crucial role across all aspects of new power systems—generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption. Grid-forming ESS enable stable voltage, frequency, and power angle control, ensuring sustained system stability.
Trend 3: Enhanced Cell-to-Grid ESS Safety
ESS safety is paramount. Robust safety systems will drive industry growth. Comprehensive protection—from battery cells to power grids—is essential. ESS must prevent fire propagation and explosions, automatically isolate and recover from grid faults, ensuring safety and reliability throughout their lifespan.
Trend 4: End-to-End Intelligent Operation
Renewable energy plants will operate autonomously throughout their lifecycles.
Trend 5: High Frequency and Power Density
Third-generation semiconductors and digital technologies will boost the power density of power electronic converters, improving PV+ESS system quality and efficiency.
Trend 6: High Voltage and Enhanced Reliability
High-voltage applications will lower the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for PV+ESS systems, while high-reliability designs will optimize system uptime and safety.
Trend 7: 100% Renewable Microgrids
Cost-effective and stable renewable microgrids will be favored in areas facing power shortages.
Trend 8: Synergistic PV+ESS+Charger+Load Systems
Power distribution networks will achieve greater flexibility, accelerating green energy adoption across various industries.
Trend 9: Community-Based Energy Sharing
Green energy will transition from individual self-consumption to community sharing, facilitating better coordination and circulation of renewable power among homes.
Trend 10: Adaptability to All Business Models
Integrated platforms will support various business models, maximizing benefits.
Technological advancements are accelerating PV’s adoption as the primary energy source, transforming the PV and energy storage industry. Huawei FusionSolar is committed to collaborating with global customers and partners to drive innovation and accelerate the transition to PV as the main energy source for homes and businesses, building a more sustainable future.
