SHENZHEN, China, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Growatt, a global leader of distributed solar and energy storage solutions, has been recognized as a Tier 1 PV Inverter Supplier in the S&P Global Energy Tier 1 Cleantech Companies 2026 list, reinforcing the company’s position among leading solar inverter manufacturers serving residential, commercial and industrial markets worldwide.

The 2026 S&P Global Energy list recognizes 12 Tier 1 PV inverter manufacturers globally. The annual, data-driven assessment evaluates leading suppliers using factors including market presence and market share, operational scale, global diversification, financial performance and sustainability. The 2026 methodology also incorporates credit risk through S&P Global Market Intelligence’s RiskGauge™ as part of its financial assessment.

For Growatt, this recognition reflects more than market scale. It demonstrates the company’s continued focus on developing reliable, efficient and increasingly intelligent solar inverter and solar-plus-storage technologies for customers across Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa.

“Being recognized once again as Tier 1 PV inverter supplier by S&P Global Energy is an important acknowledgement of the work our teams and partners are doing globally,” said Lisa Zhang, Vice President of Growatt. “As energy systems become more decentralized and intelligent, we will continue investing in technologies that make solar storage and energy management simpler and more accessible for households and businesses.”

Next-Generation Solar and Hybrid Inverter Innovation

Growatt continues to expand its inverter portfolio in 2026 to address rapidly changing requirements for home energy independence, solar self-consumption, backup power and intelligent energy management.

For residential applications, the MIN 2500-6000TL-XH2 battery-ready inverter combines up to 98.4% maximum efficiency with a DC/AC ratio of up to 2.0 and flexible future expansion into battery storage. The MOD 3-15KTL3-HU, designed for three-phase applications, integrates backup functionality while supporting whole-home backup and battery-ready operation.

Growatt has also introduced the new SPM 2.5-10KTL-HU2 hybrid inverter series in Pakistan, extending its residential energy storage offering with Smart Load control, backup capabilities and intelligent home energy management for markets where energy resilience and grid independence are increasingly important.

Connecting Solar Generation With Smarter Energy Storage

Alongside inverter innovation, Growatt is strengthening its integrated solar-plus-storage ecosystem. At The smarter E Europe 2026 in Munich, Growatt introduced the MINA and MODA All-In-One Energy Storage Systems for single-phase and three-phase residential applications. Both platforms combine solar conversion, battery storage, backup and intelligent energy management within an integrated architecture designed to simplify installation and increase solar self-consumption.

For commercial and industrial users, the RISE 261H-XH integrates a hybrid inverter, 261 kWh battery platform, energy management system and power distribution components into a pre-assembled solution, supporting faster deployment of C&I solar and energy storage projects.

Powering the Next Stage of the Global Energy Transition

As solar, battery storage and intelligent energy management become increasingly interconnected, Growatt will continue advancing technologies that enable homeowners, installers, businesses and project developers to generate, store and manage renewable energy more effectively.

The S&P Global Energy Tier 1 PV Inverter Supplier 2026 recognition further strengthens Growatt’s commitment to delivering dependable solar inverter solutions and supporting the transition toward smarter and more decentralized energy systems worldwide.

SYDNEY, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The first half of 2026 was defined by volatility: currency swings, shifting rate expectations, and geopolitical uncertainty that reshaped how traders positioned across markets. Against that backdrop, VT Markets reported $8 trillion in trading volume for the first half of 2026, up 212% year-over-year.

The momentum is reflected across various key business metrics. Active users grew 70% compared to the second half of 2025 and out of the traders active during the period, 350,000 opened their first trade with VT Markets. Together, the growth reflects a growing adoption of the platform as the go-to choice for traders globally. The growth momentum was further supported by the addition of 39 new US stocks to its offering, and the launch of ClubÉlite, a loyalty programme for Introducing Broker partners that provides elevated access and long-term partnership support.

Where traders put their money reflected the existing volatility. Trading activity was concentrated in gold and silver, alongside major FX pairs like EURUSD and USDJPY, and indices NAS100 and DJ30.

The company also connected with traders and partners on the ground across key industry events worldwide, such as its participation at the annual Money Expo Mexico 2026. Adding on, the brand presence was further matched by recognition from the industry, with VT Markets picking up 26 awards during the period, including Best Gold Trading Platform 2026 from Global Financial Market Review.

Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, VT Markets will continue rolling out new product offerings and innovations, including features aimed at extending access beyond traditional trading hours. The company has also launched Gold Cup 2026, a global trading competition running through to its Island Finale, alongside continued enhancements to its gold trading offering. VT Markets will continue to connect with traders through its presence at industry events, sponsorships, and client initiatives across its key markets. With the first half delivering record volume, deposit growth, and industry recognition, VT Markets enters the second half of 2026 positioned for an even stronger performance ahead.
