【China】Hoymiles Launches World's First 5000W Super Microinverter
#Hoymiles

Hoymiles launched the world's first 5000W microinverter (MiT 8-in-1) for large projects. Envision Energy will produce ESS in Kazakhstan. Spain allocated €700M for storage projects. LG Energy started US mass production of ESS-specific LFP batteries. Guangdong, China, saw a surge (1227) in user-side ESS registrations. Australia mandates VPP capability for its A$2.3B home battery subsidy. Shandong, China, issued new power market rules. LFP price declines slowed amid US tariff impacts. New patents include an ESS avoiding DC circulating currents and an AI-optimized PV storage charging method.

Hoymiles announced the launch of the world's first 5000W Super Microinverter, named the Hoymiles MiT 8-in-1. Designed for industrial, commercial, and large residential applications, Hoymiles states this new model requires no replacement for 25 years, significantly outperforming the typical 10-year replacement cycle for most conventional inverters.

Australia's Federal Government is launching a substantial subsidy program to make home batteries cheaper. A key requirement mandates that all subsidized grid-connected storage systems must have the capability to participate in Virtual Power Plants (VPPs). This aims to foster integration of distributed storage assets into the grid. Currently, Australia's VPP market development is slow, with most households not participating due to unclear benefits, concerns over control, and program complexity.
【China】Shandong Power Market New Policy: Differentiated Rules for Existing & New Projects, Advisory Pricing Mechanism Details Released
#Market #StorageStandards #PowerPolicy
Shandong Province issued a transition policy for its power market, outlining arrangements for an advisory pricing mechanism applied to new energy projects. Wind and solar projects will be categorized based on their full-capacity grid connection date. Market participation rules differentiate between existing (in operation) and new projects, requiring new projects to enter the market for trading before the advisory pricing takes effect.
Supply Chain Dynamics
LFP Price Decline Slows! Order Books Relatively Full Amid U.S. Tariff Impact
#Tariffs #BatteryCells #ImportsExports
The price decline of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) materials slowed last week, influenced by ongoing falls in lithium carbonate prices and the impact of U.S. tariff adjustments. ESS orders showed noticeable recovery, while power battery orders slumped. Downstream cell manufacturers supplying overseas ESS markets are operating actively, while material suppliers focus on inventory reduction. LFP is expected to be featured at the upcoming Indonesia Mining Congress.
