Huawei Unveils the Top Ten Trends for FusionSolar by 2025
On January 6, 2025, Huawei Digital Power hosted an event to share the top ten trends for FusionSolar, themed "Integrated Innovation for an Intelligent Future," focusing on the expansion of photovoltaics as a main energy source. Steven Zhou, president of the Smart PV ESS product line at Huawei, presented these trends alongside a white paper that offers significant insights aimed at fostering high-quality development in the solar and energy storage industry.
Zhou emphasized that the renewable energy policy landscape was favorable in 2024, allowing both the photovoltaic and energy storage sectors to maintain a positive growth trajectory into 2025. As the global energy sector undergoes transformation, this industry presents unprecedented opportunities. Huawei, as a key contributor to this transition, forecasts ten major trends based on long-term practices and insights ranging from foundational technologies to scenario-based applications. The company is dedicated to promoting photovoltaics as a primary source of energy.
1. Accelerating Photovoltaics as the Main Energy Source
The development processes for renewable energy generators have been completed through theory, product research and development, demonstration, testing, and large-scale applications. This technology is essential for new energy systems, swiftly positioning photovoltaics as a primary energy source.
2. Formation of Networks for All Scenarios
Ubiquitous energy storage and network formation will ensure the long-term stability of new energy systems. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are crucial for the generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption within new energy frameworks, implementing stable voltage, frequency, and power angle controls.
3. Security Between Storage and Networks
The security of ESS is imperative for development. A robust security framework is required from battery cells to energy networks to prevent incidents such as fire or explosion while ensuring automatic fault isolation and recovery.
4. Lifecycle Intelligence
Renewable power plants will operate automatically throughout their lifecycle, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
5. High Frequency and Density
Third-generation semiconductor and digital technologies will increase the power density of power converters, enhancing the quality and efficiency of PV+ESS systems.
6. High Voltage and Reliability
The application of high voltage will reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) for PV+ESS systems while reliable designs will optimize availability and safety.
7. 100% Renewable Microgrids
In areas with a lack of electricity, economically and operationally stable renewable microgrids will be preferred.
8. Synergy of PV+ESS+Chargers+Loads
Energy distribution networks will gain greater flexibility to accelerate the adoption of green energy across various sectors.
9. Community Energy Sharing
As the concept of self-consumption evolves into community energy sharing, green energy will circulate and coordinate better among households.
10. Flexible Adaptation to Business Models
Integrated platforms will adapt to diversified business models, enhancing benefits and efficiencies.
Innovations in technology are expediting the proliferation of photovoltaics as a primary energy source. This paradigm shift will redefine the solar and energy storage sectors. Huawei FusionSolar pledges to collaborate with global customers and partners to drive both photovoltaic and energy storage industries forward, leveraging knowledge and innovations to promote solar energy as the main power source in households and businesses, contributing toward a better and greener future.
