KUALA LUMPUR: Huawei Digital Power’s cutting-edge FusionSolar C&I Smart PV&ESS Solution made its Malaysian debut at the Malaysia PV&ESS Safety Forum & Product Launch 2024, which was hosted by Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia) recently, and attended by over 250 participants and stakeholders from the energy, photovoltaic (PV), and energy storage industries (ESS).
PV industry leader Huawei Digital Power demonstrated its innovation prowess at the forum and highlighted compelling proof points on the potential of PV as the next main universal form of energy that will steer Malaysia towards carbon neutrality, environmental stewardship, and sustainability.
Forum participants, which included members of government agencies, enterprise representatives, and industry professionals, were given an insightful introduction to the FusionSolar C&I Smart PV&ESS Solution during the event.
Set to redefine safety standards in commercial and industrial (C&I) application scenarios, which include shopping malls, supermarkets, factories, and official parks, the FusionSolar C&I Smart PV&ESS Solution features safety solutions in three dimensions to provide protection across failure, namely, device safety, asset safety, and personal safety.
In his welcome address, Mr Simon Sun, Chief Executive Officer of Huawei Malaysia, highlighted that Huawei Digital Power will continue to push the boundaries of innovation in renewable energy to bring sustainable solutions to its customers and to respond to environmental challenges.
“In 2023, Huawei delivered 145 gigawatts (GW) of solar inverters globally, cumulatively achieving 445GW and generating 1,110.6 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity, equivalent to the planting of 755 million trees. Looking ahead, it is important to focus on improving energy storage solutions while also ensuring that power generation assets remain safe, reliable, and cost-effective,” he said.
Huawei Digital Power’s approach to strategically facilitate Malaysia’s transition from a high-carbon to low-carbon nation integrates digital technology (Bit), electronic power technology (Watt), thermal management technology (Heat), and ESS management technology (Battery), collectively referred to as the “4T” technologies.
“As PV energy generation improves and the costs of solar panels decrease due to growing market supply and demand, the era of PV and Energy Storage (PV+ ESS) parity is on the horizon. FusionSolar, the integration of battery and solar, is gradually becoming the renewable/green energy of choice of the masses, helping to reduce the dependence on diesel generators, and lessening economic as well as environmental impacts. This means combining solar power with energy storage will become the most prudent and universal form of power,” said Mr Sun.
In addition to the introduction to the FusionSolar C&I Smart PV&ESS Solution, the forum explored three main topics, namely: Overview of Malaysia’s Solar and Energy Storage Landscape, Overview of Potential Safety Hazards in PV&ESS Installations, and a Deep Dive into Securing a Greener Malaysia.
Aligning with the Malaysian Government’s objectives of reducing carbon emissions by at least 50 percent by 2030 and achieving full carbon neutrality by 2050, Huawei is committed to continuous innovation and forming strategic partnerships to catalyse the adoption of advanced renewable energy solutions that will yield optimal ways to build a low-carbon and circular economy for Malaysia.
