CHUZHOU, China, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trina Storage, the energy storage business unit of Trinasolar, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AMP-lify, a Japanese clean energy platform, to supply approximately 1 GWh of grid-connected battery energy storage system (BESS) equipment for AMP-lify’s projects. AMP-lify develops, constructs and operates grid-connected BESS, utility-scale solar, and onshore wind projects across Japan.

Under the MoU, Trina Storage will supply its Elementa 3 series BESS and provide related technical support for approximately 1 GWh of AMP-lify’s BESS projects. Trina Storage’s Japan team will support system configuration, technical consultation, delivery coordination and after-sales service.

Trina Storage’s Elementa 3 is equipped with Trina Storage in-house 587Ah high-capacity cell, providing up to 6.25 MWh per container for larger utility-scale sites. For projects affected by transport access, limited land or proximity to communities, the 1.56 MWh Elementa 3 Flex offers an approximately five-square-metre footprint, a weight of about 13 tonnes for standard-truck transport, operating noise of 65 dB or less and modular expansion.

Japan’s Seventh Strategic Energy Plan projects renewable energy at approximately 40–50% of power generation in fiscal year 2040 and calls for storage batteries to help balance renewable output. As variable renewable generation increases, developers need storage projects that combine appropriate system design with local execution and long-term support. Trina Storage’s BESS technology and Japan-based support are backed by its recognition as a BloombergNEF Tier 1 energy storage supplier for 11 consecutive quarters.

“Japan’s storage market needs projects that are technically sound and executable under local conditions. Working with Trina Storage’s technology and local support gives us a strong basis to move the projects from site evaluation through construction and into reliable operation,” said Martin Stein, Representative Director and CEO of AMP-lify.

“Japan’s storage market has distinct engineering and delivery requirements. Road weight limits and narrow site access affect transport, while mountainous terrain, limited land, community noise expectations, seismic design and coastal conditions influence system configuration. This MoU allows us to address those factors with AMP-lify from the earliest stages of development. By combining its local execution capabilities with our Elementa 3 portfolio and Japan-based technical support, we can configure each project around its site requirements while building toward the scale envisaged under this cooperation,” said Dr Leo Zhao, Head of Energy Storage, Trinasolar Asia Pacific.

SLI’s asset financing model, proven across other asset classes, such as transportation and energy, now accelerates deployment of orbital infrastructure

PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sophia Space today announced a $300 million financing framework with aerospace leasing specialist, SLI, for a planned 10-satellite high-performance edge computing constellation, bringing proven financing models used to scale aviation, energy, maritime, rail, and telecommunications, into this next phase of orbital computing. Under the arrangement, SLI will purchase the satellites from Sophia and lease them to the end-users on the basis of fixed monthly or quarterly payments.

Once deployed, the constellation would deliver aggregate computing capacity equivalent to 240 state-of-the-art edge servers, while allowing Sophia to preserve equity capital for technology development and operations.

The collaboration also reflects a long-term commitment between the two companies to develop the financing structures and deployment playbook that orbital compute infrastructure will require to move from the laboratory to low Earth orbit.

“Asset financing didn’t invent aviation or shipping, but it accelerated them at scale,” said Rob DeMillo, CEO and Cofounder of Sophia Space. “We’re doing the same for orbital computing. This approach with SLI signals that Sophia Space’s space infrastructure is mature enough to attract the capital structures that have historically built terrestrial infrastructure.”

The financing structure, outlined in a non-binding letter of support, aligns SLI’s financing with Sophia’s build and deployment schedule, supporting the purchase and deployment of 10 Sophia TILE spacecraft through a long-term operating lease. Mission launches are scheduled for as early as 2028.

The constellation is designed to deliver in-orbit edge data services for applications including Earth observation, weather analytics, supply-chain management, and disaster preparedness, while also addressing growing demand for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and other mission-critical security applications.

“Lowering barriers to entry unlocks markets,” explained Praveen Vetrivel, Chief Executive Officer at SLI. “Sophia has the technology, the team, and the vision. What had been missing was access to scalable, non-dilutive capital. This framework provides it, giving them the capacity and flexibility they need to build the next layer of digital infrastructure.”

The long-term lease is designed to span the satellites’ expected useful lives, matching capital deployment with the revenue-generating life of the assets. The approach provides Sophia with a predictable financing structure for scaling its orbital infrastructure without relying exclusively on equity capital.

SLI is the aerospace subsidiary of Libra Group, which brings more than $15 billion in asset financing experience in the transportation industries to the space economy.

About Sophia Space Inc.
Sophia Space is building the future of orbital computing and in-space data centers. Its modular TILE technology enables passive computing alongside in-situ data processing, AI acceleration, and edge computing for satellites, defense systems, and commercial space stations, dramatically reducing latency and delivering actionable insights where and when they are needed.
