Tesla’s shipments in the first half of the year exceeded 7Gwh, ranking first in the world.




The top 10 suppliers were Tesla, BYD, Sungrow, HyperStrong, Nextera, Huawei, Fluence, Powin, KEHUA TECH and Narada. Shipments from the top 3 suppliers Tesla, BYD, and Sungrow were more than 7Gwh in the first half of the year. Directly reaching the user end through automobile sales outlets and other channels, Tesal and BYD formed a good sales channel, and their shipments were among the best; the shipments of the top 4-10 suppliers were 2.5-4Gwh, including domestic and overseas sales, though system integration.


In the first half of 2023, domestic energy storage system shipments reached 47Gwh. The top 10 companies shipped cargoes of nearly 34Gwh, accounting for about 70%; other domestic companies shipped about 13Gwh, accounting for 30%. The shipments of BYD and Sungrow were close, and stood at nearly 7Gwh in the first half of the year, accounting for as high as 30%. Shipments from the top 5-10 suppliers accounted for 3-5%.

In the first half of 2023, the total shipment volume of overseas companies was lower than that of domestic companies, and was about 25Gwh. Shipments from Tesla, the top 1 supplier in the first half of the year exceeded 7Gwh, accounting for 20% of overseas companies’ shipments. The total shipments from the top 2 supplier Nextera, the top 3 supplier Fluence and the top 4 supplier Powin were about 3Gwh. The shipments of other overseas companies in the first half of the year were about 1Gwh.

[SMM PV] Perovskite Cells Launched into Space!
At 23:08 on 24 May 2026, the Shenzhou-23 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The flight crew comprises Zhu Yangzhu, Zhang Zhiyuan, and Li Jiaying. The Shenzhou-23 mission will stay in orbit for approximately six months, rotating with the Shenzhou-21 crew, and will carry out experiments on space life sciences, microgravity physics, and perovskite cells, as well as multiple extravehicular activities. Perovskite cells are third-generation PV cells that use perovskite-structured semiconductor thin films as the light-absorbing layer, directly converting light energy into electrical energy. They feature low cost, ultra-thin and ultra-light design, and high efficiency, and are regarded as the new energy technology most likely to achieve industrialisation. This space experiment will provide efficiency degradation curves under space conditions, and will test and verify the radiation resistance stability and extreme temperature cycling adaptability of perovskite cells.

[European Energy Giant OX2 Enters Australia: 135MW Solar-Plus-Storage Project Officially Commences Construction] Swedish independent power producer (IPP) OX2 has announced the commencement of its Muswellbrook solar-plus-storage project in New South Wales, Australia. Covering an area of approximately 482 hectares, the project will construct a 135MWac solar power plant complemented by a 100MW-class battery energy storage system (BESS). The project is situated on a former coal mine site and forms part of Australia's Hunter Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone (REZ). By utilizing existing transmission infrastructure to connect to the grid, the project will help lower grid-connection development costs and alleviate the network access pressures commonly faced by new energy projects.
