FusionSolar Smart PV Solution 6.0+ for Higher Yields
Huawei offers optimal Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE), enhanced grid connection capabilities, and
improved
safety through continuous innovation in string design to address key industry challenges. The key
technologies of
its Smart PV Solution include:
1.Smart DC System (SDS): Optimizing tracking algorithm, the SDS technology increases power generation by
1.69% in a
PV plant in Guangxi, China. Huawei cooperates with more than 10 brands of tracking solar panels to provide
users
with a better experience.
2.Smart I-V Curve Diagnosis 4.0: The technology identifies string faults, evaluates power loss, and
recommends
repair solutions, completing the full online inspection of a 100 MW power plant in 20 minutes. The diagnosis
enhances operation and maintenance (O&M) while increasing power generation. In Malaysia, 2,000 hours of
workload is
saved every year on a 30 MW project.
3.Smart String-Level Disconnector Technology (SSLD-TECH): After two years of R&D efforts, Huawei developed
the
innovative SSLD-TECH, which minimizes the safety hazards of direct current faults. Germany’s TÜV SÜD, IEC
60947-2
and China’s certifications ensure PV plant safety with proven effectiveness.
4.Grid Forming: Developed by Huawei, the intelligent grid connection algorithm enables a PV system to be
adapted to
various grid scenarios, improving its voltage and power control capabilities. At a low short circuit ratio
(SCR) of
1.2, it ensures that the inverter runs at full power without derating and successfully passes through high
and low
voltage continuously, delivering a 30% increase in new energy access.
Equipped with DC arc detection and emergency disconnection, Huawei’s Smart PV Solution cuts off faults with
high
precision and fast response for enhanced safety.
Smart String Energy Storage System (ESS) for Optimal Levelized Cost of Energy Storage (LCOS)
The new Smart String ESS addresses the limited capacity, short service life, complex O&M, and high safety
risks of
conventional solutions. Huawei draws on more than ten years of R&D experience in energy storage systems to
deliver a
unique smart string structure that integrates digital, power electronics, and energy storage technologies,
overcoming the limitations of lithium batteries. Smart String ESS adopts pack-level optimization, rack-level
optimization, distributed cooling, and all-modular design, enabling the batteries’ full charging and
discharging
potential and providing optimal LCOS for PV plants.
he system offers comprehensive safety with four layers of protection covering cell-level short circuit
detection,
pack-level safety shutdown, rack-level overcurrent protection and fault isolation, and system-level smart
fire
suppression.
Residential Smart PV Solution 3.0 for a Better Life
Following the launch of the “1+3+X” Residential Smart PV Solution 2.0 in 2021, Huawei presented the upgraded
“1+4+X”
design this year. The integrated solution enables a smart power consumption ecosystem, featuring a smart
energy
controller which connects a PV optimizer, an ESS, an EV charger, and a management system. This solution
enhances PV
self-consumption rate to 90% from 70% in the previous generation, bringing an all-around clean energy
experience to
homes with lower electricity costs, active safety, and intelligent assistant.
To enable low-carbon living, Huawei has launched a new smart EV charger for residential use with easy indoor
and
outdoor installation, delivering convenient fast charging.
Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Smart PV Solution 2.0 for a Sustainable Business
With increasing demand from enterprises to reduce electricity costs and carbon emissions, Huawei launched
the
upgraded 1+3 C&I Smart PV Solution 2.0 to offer customers new PV and energy storage innovations.
The new generation of the C&I Smart PV Solution comes with an all-new three-phase inverter
(SUN2000-50KTL-M3), a
Smart String ESS (LUNA-200kWh-2H0), which can be coupled with the 100kW power conditioning system (PCS), and
a smart
PV optimizer (MERC-1100W/1300W-P). It will allow companies across industries to move into a low-carbon era
with
optimized electricity costs, active safety, and smart O&M for an enhanced experience.
Smart Micro-grid Solution for Clean and Reliable Power Supply
Huawei launched the Smart Micro-grid Solution to support the seamless online transition of medium-voltage
off/on-grid changeover. Compared to traditional power generation from oil, Huawei’s solution cuts LCOE by
more than
50%. It effectively reduces power outage loss, helping to achieve zero-carbon generation and eliminate the
energy
divide.
Long-term Investment to Enable Continuous Innovation
Focusing on the PV sector for more than ten years, Huawei FusionSolar strives to overcome challenges across
industries through continuous R&D and innovation. With its carbon-reducing solutions applied globally, the
company
integrates digital, AI, and cloud technologies to promote the smart development of the PV and energy storage
industries.
As the president of the ENSTO-E grid code expert team and a member of IEC and UNE standard organizations,
Huawei has
submitted over 600 standard proposals and participated in developing more than 80 standards, making a
significant
contribution to the PV industry. In response to the global energy transformation toward renewable power,
Huawei
