Clou Energy Storage Display at Solar & Storage Live KSA 2025

From October 12 to 14, 2025, Riyadh hosted the Solar & Storage Live KSA 2025 event, where Clou Energy Storage showcased state-of-the-art technologies designed for large-scale energy needs in utility, commercial, and industrial sectors. Among the key highlights was the Aqua C3.0 Pro liquid-cooled energy storage system, specifically engineered to thrive in the challenging desert climates prevalent across the Middle East and Africa. This exhibition stands as a testament to Clou's commitment to harmonizing advanced technology with local demands, reinforcing its esteemed position in the energy storage arena.

The Kingdom's ambitious Saudi Vision 2030 initiative aims to derive over 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030, which necessitates the incorporation of cutting-edge energy storage technologies. Addressing the inherent challenges faced by renewable systems, such technologies enhance the reliability of electricity generation, boost grid stability, and improve energy efficiency. Clou’s Aqua C3.0 Pro system not only complies with these goals but also excels in performance in the harsh desert environment.

Key Features of Aqua C3.0 Pro

The Aqua C3.0 Pro boasts an impressive 600Ah+ ultra-large capacity cell, with a total single-cabinet capacity reaching 6.88MWh. This system represents a significant advancement in terms of efficiency, safety, and operational convenience, boasting a 10.63% reduction in total cost of ownership compared to previous models. Furthermore, three core technologies enable its exceptional adaptability to high-temperature conditions endemic to the region: advanced thermal management, AC-side adaptation, and robust protection against sand and dust.

Advanced Thermal Management

Clou’s innovative thermal management mechanism merges an insulating structural design with a high-powered liquid cooling unit, effectively combating thermal derating even at peak temperatures of 55°C. This ensures a stable output even during extreme thermal stress periods, guaranteeing uninterrupted energy flow when most needed.

AC-Side Adaptability

The Aqua C3.0 Pro’s system incorporates a high-capacity MV Skid, which addresses the conventional challenges associated with transformer and PCS derating caused by extreme heat. This adaptation allows the system to maintain continuous full-power output at ambient conditions of 55°C, aligning with the operational demands of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS).

Custom Dust and Sand Protection

To combat the region's frequent sand and dust challenges, the Aqua C3.0 Pro includes a sealed design for its core components along with customized protection mechanisms. This significantly enhances the system's operational reliability, assuring consistent performance despite harsh environmental conditions.

Broader Product Offerings

Beyond the Aqua C3.0 Pro, Clou also elucidated its diverse product range at the exhibition, which included the Aqua-C2.5 liquid-cooled system and the Aqua-E233 CI energy storage system, among others. This impressive lineup demonstrates Clou's capability to address various energy storage needs, ranging from grid-scale solutions to commercial and industrial applications. With nearly three decades of expertise in the electricity sector, Clou continues to execute benchmark projects worldwide. Notable examples include the large-scale energy storage facility in the Atacama Desert in Chile, which adeptly tackles challenges posed by high temperatures and sandstorms, in conjunction with the coastal energy storage project located in the salty, humid climate of Haifeng, Guangdong, China.

Clou’s commitment to understanding global energy requirements and local environmental conditions drives its innovative solutions, thereby securing its global leadership in the energy storage field. With every project and innovation, Clou is set on paving the way for a sustainable energy future, aligning with worldwide energy transitions.
