1.1 P2P lending- In the crowdfunding market, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending stands out as a popular model where a lender provides funds directly to a borrower without intermediation from financial institutions. Several factors fuel the growth of this segment. Firstly, P2P lending allows individuals to access funds for planned activities faster as lenders liquidate funds before loan terms end. Secondly, online portals facilitate minor investments, benefiting small businesses. Thirdly, the interest earned through P2P lending is considered part of personal savings, attracting more customers. Fourthly, entrepreneurs with a business plan and over two years of experience are more likely to secure loans. Lastly, government initiatives support the market’s growth. However, the market expansion through P2P lending is predicted to be slow during the forecast period due to fewer participants in certain regions and the type of projects seeking funds. Start-ups with limited experience may discourage investment, and P2P lending typically does not cater to large amounts unless it’s for a business.

Published

on

By

JINCHANG, China, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the May Day International Labor Day approaches, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company has fully launched special power supply guarantee work in key cultural and tourism areas, closely integrating local characteristics such as Gobi ecology, Silk Road culture and suburban comprehensive cultural tourism formats, to fully protect the safety of cultural and tourism travel during the holiday.

Focusing on the actual needs of pre-holiday cultural and tourism travel, the special inspection takes into account the differences in power consumption of diverse scenarios including Silk Road sightseeing, Gobi leisure and research experience, and strictly implements standardized power operation and maintenance processes. The service team divides areas to clarify responsibilities, focusing on inspecting key locations such as crowded scenic spots, convenient service stations and intangible cultural heritage performance venues, and checks the operation of core equipment such as power distribution boxes, low-voltage lines and emergency backup power supplies one by one. Considering Jinchang’s regional climate characteristics of frequent sandstorms and large temperature differences between day and night, it focuses on verifying the integrity of outdoor line insulation protection and wind, dust and lightning protection devices, and simultaneously investigates potential hazards such as old lines and temporary power use, ensuring immediate rectification and full coverage without blind spots.

In response to the upsurge of suburban self-driving camping and short-distance trips during the holiday, the company focuses on upgrading and verifying public new energy charging piles along scenic routes and suburban main roads. Staff inspect each charging pile’s main module, intelligent metering terminal, safe grounding circuit and outdoor waterproof and dustproof components, conduct on-site practical tests on core charging performance such as emergency power-off self-locking and peak-valley load adaptation, and simultaneously clean up debris around the piles, maintain lines and check peripheral hazards such as aging and loose interfaces. It also specially verifies the continuous operation capacity under high passenger flow and high intensity, ensuring uninterrupted 24-hour charging services, solidifying the reliable power guarantee for cultural and tourism travel, and helping the upgrading of suburban cultural and tourism formats.

By

JINCHANG, China, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On April 22, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company worked with relevant personnel of the 200,000-ton annual dairy processing project in Jinchuan District, Jinchang City, to carefully verify key power support matters before the project is put into operation.

Since the planning of the project, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company has taken the initiative to provide front-line services and launched a dedicated service program for key projects. A special service team was established to finish on-site investigation within three days and design a tailor-made power supply plan.

The company opened a green channel for power application and installation services, shortening the conventional 45-day service process to 18 days, strongly boosting the early start of the project.

In the construction period, the company’s Party member service team offered regular on-site technical guidance, investigated and rectified over ten hidden dangers in construction power consumption, and organized special training for electricians, building a solid line of defense for power safety.

Entering the critical commissioning phase in April, the company carried out an all-round inspection of power equipment in the factory, formulated a targeted power guarantee plan for equipment commissioning, and implemented a 24-hour duty system to remove power supply obstacles for equipment debugging.

“The power supply team always thinks ahead and delivers practical support, solving all our power consumption problems,” the project leader commented positively.

In the next stage, State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company will continue to track the follow-up power demand of the project. Through high-quality and stable power supply, it will help upgrade the quality and efficiency of Jinchang’s agriculture, forage and animal husbandry industrial chain, and inject sustained impetus into high-quality local development.

Seven Extreme Tests, Full‑Scenario Ecosystem: Sungrow Redefines C&I ESS Reliability at GRES

Published

on

By

HEFEI, China, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At the 2026 Global Renewable Energy Summit, Sungrow unveiled its full-scenario commercial and industrial (C&I) ecosystem, centered around the newly launched PowerKeeper series—a modular C&I energy storage system that achieves 0 waste in both investment and green power utilization, ensures 0 outage for C&I electricity consumption, and delivers a hassle-free experience through 7 upgrades (7Ups) across the entire lifecycle, ultimately maximizing returns for customers.

As an industry breakthrough, PowerKeeper is the first modular C&I ESS to successfully pass seven extreme challenge tests. This milestone embodies Sungrow’s “007” value proposition—redefining reliability standards for C&I energy storage.

Seven Extreme Challenges: Making Safety Invisible, Yet Fundamental

Energy storage systems are built for a 20+ year lifecycle, during which exposure to extreme weather, physical impacts, and unexpected incidents is inevitable. True reliability lies in proactively validating performance under the harshest conditions.

PowerKeeper inherits Sungrow’s comprehensive full-lifecycle safety system. With over 700 pre‑delivery tests, every unit is engineered for durability and resilience. The seven extreme tests cover the entire lifecycle and a wide range of real-world scenarios, structured across three critical dimensions:

Environmental Resilience: Reliable Performance in Harsh Natural ConditionsMaintains stable operation after 24-hour immersion in 50 cm of waterDelivers full power without derating across temperatures from -20°C to 40°CStructural Integrity: No Fire or Explosion, Even When Knocked or DroppedEndures a 250 kg pendulum impact with only minor surface damage, no structural compromise, and no abnormal temperature riseWithstands repeated drops from heights ranging from 1.6 m to 5 m, maintaining structural integrity and thermal stabilityIntrinsic Safety: No Fire spread, No Explosion Splash, Even in Worst-Case ScenariosAn integrated aerosol fire suppression system rapidly suppresses internal ignitionAfter removing internal suppression, flames self-extinguish without spreadingSystem-level active venting design in PV+ESS configurations prevents debris projection, safeguarding both personnel and equipment

From Pre- to Post-Commissioning: Flexible, Simple, Profitable

Pre-commissioning:
PowerKeeper offers exceptional flexibility from the outset, with configurable capacities ranging from 50 kWh to 1,000 kWh and durations spanning 2 to 8 hours. It can be deployed as ESS-ready, PV+ESS, or PV-ready, enabling businesses to align system configuration with their investment pace and evolving energy strategies.At commissioning:
Installation is streamlined through both modular hardware design and intelligent digital tools. On the hardware side, the industry-first configuration of 12.5 kWh single modules or 50 kWh pre-built stacks significantly reduces installation complexity and labor costs. In contrast, seamless back-to-back installation supports four flexible layouts, making it ideal for space-constrained environments.
On the software side, iSolarDesign enables rapid and intelligent system planning within just 10 minutes—while iSolarCloud simplifies grid connection to a three-step process that can be completed in five minutes. A unified platform with a 24/7 AI assistant further enhances operational efficiency by pinpointing faulty modules at the source, enabling faster and more precise O&M.Post-commissioning:
Once operational, PowerKeeper continues to maximize value through both performance and intelligent optimization. A 2.0 DC/AC ratio delivers up to 1.5 times higher power output, while 10 ms seamless switching ensures reliable off-grid operation when needed. In addition, AI-driven multi-revenue strategies—including peak shaving, demand charge management, and frequency response—work in tandem with integrated hardware and software to continuously enhance overall returns.

Full-Scenario Eco-Synergy: Sungrow C&I ESS Family

PowerKeeper, together with the PowerStack 255/510CS and PowerTitan series, forms Sungrow’s comprehensive C&I ESS portfolio. The solution supports a wide range of applications—from standalone ESS and PV+ESS to PV+ESS+EV charging and microgrids—covering voltage levels from 400 V to 35 kV. PowerKeeper is now available across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa.

Dr. Cao Wei, GM of Sungrow’s C&I ESS Product Line, stated: “We build a full-scenario C&I ESS ecosystem because every application deserves a tailored solution. The seven extreme tests reflect our unwavering commitment to one core belief: safety is the greatest luxury.”

Sungrow remains committed to empowering industries worldwide with reliable, high-performance C&I energy storage solutions—working together to accelerate the transition toward a sustainable future.
