SYDNEY, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EcoFlow will unveil OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase, its next-generation home battery system, at Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition, taking place from 6–7 May.

Positioned at the intersection of performance, scalability, and intelligent energy management, OCEAN 2 marks a significant evolution for residential energy systems in Australia. Designed to meet the needs of a rapidly electrifying housing market, the system supports everything from everyday households to high-demand homes integrating solar, electric vehicles, and advanced electrification technologies.

As Australia continues to face rising energy costs and increasing pressure on grid infrastructure, demand is growing for solutions that give households greater control over how energy is generated, stored, and used. OCEAN 2 has been developed in response to this shift, delivering a system that adapts over time as energy needs evolve.

EcoFlow OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase has long-term flexibility at its core. Systems can start small and expand as required, supporting up to 300 kWh of storage capacity when configured in parallel. This enables households to scale their energy independence without replacing existing infrastructure. With a 10,000-cycle battery lifespan, OCEAN 2 is engineered for durability and sustained performance over many years.

Performance has been optimised for real-world Australian conditions. With three independent MPPTs, the system can maximise solar generation across rooftops with multiple orientations or partial shading, ensuring consistent energy capture throughout the day. High input capacity per string allows installers to design higher-yield systems with greater efficiency and flexibility.

Efficiency extends beyond generation. OCEAN 2 operates at just 50W during light-load discharge, reducing baseline energy consumption and contributing to meaningful long-term savings. Over a 15-year period, this equates to estimated lifetime energy savings of up to 6,000 kWh.

Installation has been streamlined to support Australia’s fast-growing installer network. With a compact design, integrated components, and reduced on-site complexity, OCEAN 2 is built to save time across installation and commissioning. Each battery pack weighs 46kg and supports both indoor and outdoor installation, providing flexibility across a wide range of property types.

Crucially for the Australian market, OCEAN 2 has been developed to align with Clean Energy Council requirements, supporting compliance pathways and enabling installation by accredited professionals. This ensures the system integrates seamlessly into established installer workflows while meeting the standards required for grid connection and incentive eligibility.

Whole-home backup capability is included as standard, enabling seamless switching to maintain power continuity across essential loads.

EcoFlow also offers an optional Single-Phase gateway to enable AC-coupling existing solar system and flexible battery location choosing, with a smart port handling either a smart load or generator input.

This is supported by a multi-layered safety architecture, combining active and passive protection mechanisms across the battery system, alongside a 15-year warranty designed for long-term reliability.

At a system level, OCEAN 2 integrates into EcoFlow’s wider Home Energy Ecosystem, connecting solar generation, storage, and smart home technologies into a single intelligent platform. Through its Home Energy Management System, the system can automatically optimise energy usage based on demand and time-of-use tariffs, helping households maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on the grid.

Craig Bilboe, Head of Residential UK & ANZ for EcoFlow, said:

“Australian homes are already leading the way in solar adoption, but the next step is how that energy is stored and used more intelligently. OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase has been designed to support that shift. It gives installers a system that fits into existing accreditation frameworks, while giving households the flexibility to expand and optimise their energy use over time.”

Visitors to the EcoFlow stand at Smart Energy Conference and Exhibition will be able to experience live demonstrations of OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase, explore upcoming product developments including the also new OCEAN 2 Three-Phase, and speak directly with EcoFlow’s technical and commercial teams.

SYRTIS SOLUTIONS AUTOMATED ALGORITHMIC ANALYSIS AND INSURANCE DISCOVERY ENGINE HAS BECOME ESSENTIAL TO MODERN MEDICAID

Published

on

By

ATLANTA, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Automated insurance discovery and algorithmic analysis are becoming cornerstones of modern Medicaid operations. By identifying liable third-party coverage at the point of claim adjudication, these technologies reduce improper payments, strengthen payment accuracy, and improve coordination of benefits.

This priority is now reflected in state policy. On June 10, 2026, Ohio passed Senate Bill 315, which requires the Ohio Department of Medicaid to use automated algorithmic analysis and insurance discovery engines before making any Medicaid payment. The measure reflects a broader regulatory shift toward prevention over post-payment recovery.

Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (HR1), states must maintain improper payment rates below 3% by federal fiscal year 2030, measured through PERM audits that flag claims where Medicaid was billed as primary despite active third-party coverage. Critically, PERM audits measure compliance at the point of adjudication: once a claim is paid improperly, recovery cannot reverse the improper payment designation. Only point-of-claim insurance discovery prevents both the improper payment and the HR1 compliance risk simultaneously. Traditional post-payment recovery addresses cost but not compliance.

Long before this legislative requirement, Syrtis Solutions was delivering these capabilities to Medicaid managed care organizations nationwide. ProTPL, Syrtis’ proprietary platform, continuously analyzes claim-level eligibility and coverage data to identify active commercial insurance, Medicare, and other liable third-party coverage at the point of adjudication, surfacing coverage that traditional monthly or quarterly eligibility files miss entirely.

This point-of-claim approach improves coordination of benefits, supports cost avoidance initiatives, and directly addresses PERM audit compliance. As Medicaid programs face HR1 improper payment standards and deadline pressure, real-time insurance discovery has become essential to compliance strategy.

About Syrtis Solutions: Syrtis Solutions provides insurance discovery, coordination of benefits, and payment integrity solutions for Medicaid agencies and Medicaid managed care organizations. Through ProTPL, Syrtis helps clients identify previously unknown commercial coverage, optimize third-party liability routing, and support PERM compliance while helping clients meet Medicaid’s payer-of-last-resort requirements.

$32.92 Billion GEO Market by 2036, 40% CAGR Growth: Market Decipher Report Reveals How AI Search Is Redrawing the Rules of Brand Visibility Worldwide

Published

on

By

PUNE, India, June 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Market Decipher today published its flagship intelligence report, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Market Analysis & Forecast 2026–2036, revealing that the race to secure brand visibility inside AI-generated answers has reached a commercial inflection point — and the majority of executive teams are still managing the crisis with a 2019-era playbook.

The global GEO market, valued at $1.09 billion in 2026, is on course to reach approximately $32.92 billion by 2036, expanding at a CAGR of 40.6% — making it one of the fastest-expanding categories in enterprise software. The catalyst is structural, not cyclical. ChatGPT has surpassed 900 million weekly active users worldwide by early 2026, while 60% of searches now terminate without a click, erasing referral traffic from brands that have not restructured their content for AI citation.

“When AI-referred visitors convert 31% higher and drive $262 billion in a single holiday season, GEO stops being a marketing budget line and starts being a P&L imperative. We are witnessing the fastest shift in commercial brand discovery since the invention of the search engine — and the companies writing GEO into their 2026 strategy are already three moves ahead.”- Kunal Singh (Senior Analyst at Market Decipher)

The commercial stakes are immediate. AI-driven traffic to U.S. retail websites grew 693% year-over-year during the 2025 holiday season, per Adobe Analytics tracking over one trillion visits — and AI-referred shoppers convert 31% higher with 27% lower bounce rates than conventional organic visitors. Generative AI and AI agents drove an estimated $262 billion in global retail revenue during the 2025 holiday period, roughly 20% of total sales, according to Salesforce. For CEOs still measuring digital ROI through click-through rates, the reporting framework is now structurally misaligned with where revenue is actually forming.

The United States: First-Mover Advantage — or First-Mover Capture

North America commands 42.5% of global GEO revenue, with U.S. enterprises in tech, financial services, retail, and healthcare the earliest and most aggressive adopters of GEO platforms. 67% of Fortune 500 CMOs identified GEO as a top-three digital priority for fiscal year 2026 — up from just 18% in 2024. Enterprise GEO contract values averaged $185,000 annually in 2025, up from $72,000 in 2023, reflecting the elevation of AI citation strategy from a marketing experiment to a boardroom capital allocation decision. 26% of brands currently have zero mentions inside AI Overviews. In markets as competitive as U.S. financial services and B2B SaaS, that is an existential go-to-market gap.

UAE, UK, India, Japan: The Demand Corridors Expanding Fastest

The UAE and Saudi Arabia are among the most active adopters of GEO services in the Middle East, driven by multilingual content requirements and government-backed AI infrastructure investment. In the United Kingdom, GEO is fundamentally transforming how SaaS, fintech, and cybersecurity firms are discovered by B2B buyers across the UK and EU, with AI platforms already displacing paid search as the primary evaluation channel for high-ticket enterprise procurement. India’s scale — the world’s second-largest internet economy — positions it as a critical demand corridor as 1.8 billion users globally now engage with generative AI tools and localized AI interface adoption accelerates. Japan’s structurally high enterprise AI investment, combined with Asia-Pacific’s designation as the fastest-growing regional GEO market, signals that Tokyo-headquartered multinationals face citation-share competition pressure from both domestic and global rivals simultaneously.

The B2B Buying Process Has Already Shifted

One in four B2B buyers now uses generative AI more than traditional search when researching suppliers. 89% of B2B buyers consider AI search a top source throughout the buying process. By 2027, 30% of all commercial search queries are projected to be handled exclusively by generative AI engines without any traditional search results page being rendered. The pipeline implications for enterprise sales organizations are material and compounding.

Market Decipher’s report delivers quantified segment-level revenue forecasts, country-by-country demand analysis across the USA, UAE, Japan, India, and UK, competitive positioning maps, enterprise contract benchmarks, and a structured ROI framework for GEO investment planning.
