Huawei's 506 kW Smart String Inverter Wins Prestigious Smarter E Award at Intersolar Europe 2026

Huawei's 506 kW Smart String Inverter Triumphs at Intersolar Europe 2026

During the renowned Intersolar Europe 2026 event, Huawei's 506 kW Smart String Inverter (model SUN2000-506KTL) was honored with the prestigious Smarter E Award in the Photovoltaic category. This recognition stands out as a significant achievement in the renewable energy sector, marking Huawei’s commitment to driving innovation in photovoltaic technologies.

The SUN2000-506KTL is particularly noteworthy as it is the first commercially available string inverter exceeding 500 kW in the industry. It goes beyond merely offering enhanced power and voltage capabilities compared to its predecessor, the SUN2000-330KTL. This model introduces three pioneering innovations, becoming the industry's first 1,000 V AC string inverter, adding grid-forming capabilities, and achieving the highest power density available in the sector. These advancements are designed to deliver significant benefits to customers, including optimized return on investment, improved grid support, efficient operation and maintenance, and enhanced safety and reliability.

As the flagship product of Huawei’s next-generation smart photovoltaic solution, FusionSolar9.0, the SUN2000-506KTL is already undergoing large-scale implementation. Since launching in 2025, Huawei has introduced this solution across various scenarios in the Chinese market, with international adoption accelerating rapidly. Currently, over 10 GW of projects worldwide are under construction using FusionSolar9.0, as developers recognize the lower production costs and superior lifecycle profitability that this solution offers.

Huawei's dedication goes beyond just providing innovative technology; they are actively supporting the energy transition with commercially robust and technologically advanced solutions designed for the long haul. By transforming solar plants into intelligent assets that support the power grid rather than merely serving as passive generation sources, Huawei aims to promote the high-quality development of the solar industry.

Receiving the Smarter E Award is a tremendous acknowledgment of Huawei's relentless pursuit of innovation. At the award ceremony, Huawei expressed that this achievement serves as a strong motivation for the team, representing not just a significant honor, but a powerful affirmation of their ongoing efforts toward technological exploration and customer-centric philosophy. Guided by the brand concept of “Maximizing Every Ray,” Huawei is committed to unlocking the full potential of solar energy by delivering more reliable, innovative, and high-value solutions.

In addition, Huawei plans to continue fostering open collaboration by working hand in hand with global partners to consistently provide high-quality products and solutions, ultimately creating a better and greener future together.
