MUNICH, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At Intersolar Europe 2026, Huawei’s 506 kW Smart String inverter (SUN2000-506KTL), won the smarter E AWARD 2026 in the “Photovoltaics” category, also the only award-winning photovoltaic inverter in utility scenario. This marks Huawei obtained one of the highest recognition in the PV industry.

Huawei’s new flagship product – the SUN2000-506KTL is the first 500kW+ string inverter that commercialized in the industry. It’s not just the simple upgrade in power & voltage on the previous generation of SUN2000-330KTL. The SUN2000-506KTL delivers 3 pioneering breakthroughs: industry’s first 1000Vac PV string inverter, industry’s first grid-forming string inverter and with industry’s highest power density. It provides customers with 4 core benefits – optimized investment returns, enhanced grid-forming capabilities, efficient O&M and superior safety & reliability, and elevating the innovation of smart string inverter to a new level. 

As the flagship product of Huawei’s next-generation utility-scale Smart PV solution FusionSolar9.0, the 506KTL string inverter is already in large-scale deployment. Since 2025, Huawei rolled out the solution across diverse scenarios in the Chinese market, and international adoption is accelerating rapidly. More than 10GW of projects globally are currently under construction using FusionSolar9.0, as developers across multiple markets have re-evaluated their designs in favor of the solution’s lower BOS and superior lifecycle economics.

Huawei is committing to supporting the energy transition with solutions that are technically leading, commercially robust, and built for the long term. By enabling solar plants to become intelligent, grid-supporting assets — not passive generation sources — to drive the high-quality development of the industry.

The smarter E AWARD is a great recognition of Huawei’s dedication in innovation. Huawei stated at the award ceremony that, it was a great motivation for the team, which was far more than an honor, but a powerful affirmation of Huawei’s persistent innovation pursuits, relentless technological exploration, and customer-centric philosophy.

Guided by the brand concept “Making the Most of Every Ray”, Huawei is committed to unlocking the full potential of solar energy by bringing more reliable, high-value and innovative solutions.

Huawei will always uphold open collaboration, working hand-in-hand with global partners to offer high-quality product and solutions continuously, and create a greener and better future together.

CHANGZHOU, China, June 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company has launched a customized low-carbon charging initiative at Chuangzhi Park in Liyang High-Tech Zone, Changzhou City, to guide electric vehicle (EV) owners to charge during renewable energy peak periods, accelerate local photovoltaic power accommodation and advance the development of smart and green transportation energy systems.

Deployed at the fast-charging station inside the industrial park, the innovative low-carbon charging program adopts an incentive-based carbon point mechanism. EV users who charge their vehicles during designated green electricity peak windows recommended by the official mini-program will earn exclusive carbon points, which can be directly redeemed to offset their subsequent charging fees.

The user-oriented incentive model has been well received by local EV owners. “I have followed the charging time recommendations on the mini-program for three consecutive days. The carbon points I have accumulated so far can cover roughly one-third of the electricity cost for my next full charge,” shared Wang, a local EV owner who has participated in the low-carbon charging activity.

Behind the precise time guidance for low-carbon charging lies a park-specific smart energy management platform independently built by State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company. Leveraging time-of-use and regional electricity carbon emission factor technology, the platform conducts big data analysis based on real-time photovoltaic power generation output of the park and real-time charging order data of all vehicles at the charging station. It realizes dynamic and accurate classification of low-carbon energy consumption periods throughout the day.

Chen Chang, a marketing staff member from State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company, elaborated on the digital smart charging solution: “Supported by accurate digital monitoring and data analysis, our platform pushes real-time optimal low-carbon charging time slots to users’ mobile mini-programs. We advocate EV owners to prioritize green renewable electricity for daily charging.”

“This initiative brings dual benefits for individual users and the industrial park. For EV owners, they can practice a low-carbon lifestyle while cutting daily vehicle charging expenditures with redeemable carbon points. For the park, concentrated charging during photovoltaic peak hours effectively improves the on-site consumption rate of distributed photovoltaic power, reducing power abandonment and optimizing the local energy structure,” Chen added.

The ongoing low-carbon charging campaign will last until the end of June 2026. To further scale up local photovoltaic power accommodation during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, the charging station has launched a limited-time triple carbon points promotion throughout the holiday period. By leveraging economic incentives, the company further motivates EV users to align their charging behaviors with local renewable energy generation rhythms.

Moving forward, State Grid Changzhou Power Supply Company will continue to deepen digital energy service innovation, replicate the mature smart low-carbon charging model across more industrial parks and public charging stations in Changzhou. The company will further integrate distributed new energy resources and public charging infrastructure, contributing to regional carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals as well as the high-quality development of the new power system.
