Our member CHINT POWER SYSTEMSbrings solar self-sufficiency to Bellante, Italy!🌞🌱🌿 A homeowner in Bellante has achieved energy independence with Chint Power's ECH6K-SML-EU Single Phase Hybrid Inverter. Operating in self-consumption mode, the system produced 5,000 kWh of clean energy from July 2024 to March 2025—saving around €1,500 in electricity costs. This translates into significant environmental impact: – 4.74 tons CO₂ emission reduction – 1,900 tons of coal conserved – Equal to planting 263 trees Smart, safe, and efficient—Chint Power continues to empower sustainable living in Italy.

Italy Approves 1.5 GW of Agri-PV Projects with Government Support Italy is set to fund 1,548 MW of agri-PV capacity through investment subsidies and market premiums, according to the country's energy regulator GSE. A total of 540 projects were selected in the latest tender, part of Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) supported by EU funds. Agri-PV—solar systems allowing continued agricultural use—is currently the only permitted solar installation model on farmland in Italy. Projects must involve agricultural businesses directly and ensure food production is not compromised. The funding emphasizes vertically mounted and tracker-based systems, and reflects growing interest among farmers in combining energy production with agriculture.

Our member CHINT POWER SYSTEMS has successfully achieved grid connection for its 1.6MW/3.34MWh liquid-cooling energy storage system in Kumamoto, Japan. This integrated solar-storage hybrid project now supports grid resilience and cost-effective energy delivery in the Kyushu region. Equipped with factory-tested, all-in-one prefabrication, cluster-level SOC optimization, and dual-mode grid-to-island transition, the system ensures efficient installation, optimized performance, and uninterrupted power during peak demand and emergencies

Rooftop solar is a win-win: Protecting the environment and saving all ratepayers money When you consider the benefits of rooftop solar, you may think of cleaner air, but customer solar also saves money, having saved $1.5 billion in 2024 alone. https://zurl.co/EoMHD

🔦 Hybrid Power Projects Gain Momentum in Europe Co-location of solar, wind, and battery storage is gaining interest across Europe but remains at an early stage due to regulatory hurdles. In 2023, only 1.2 GW of such hybrid systems were installed. Countries like the UK, Ireland, and Italy are leading with flexible policies, while Germany faces regulatory barriers. Major projects in Portugal show the model's promise, combining large-scale solar, wind, storage, and even green hydrogen. As costs for storage continue to fall, hybrid systems are expected to play a key role in Europe's clean energy transition.
