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.

[Solar PV: Airengy to Acquire Majority Stake in Green-Go, Expanding into Israel’s Agrivoltaics Market]
Airengy has announced plans to acquire a majority stake in Green-Go, a move designed to secure a foothold in Israel’s solar EPC market. The partnership combines Airengy’s expertise in compressed air and battery energy storage with Green-Go’s specialized experience in agrivoltaics and complex rooftop installations. The acquisition aligns with the recent formalization of Israel’s agrivoltaics regulatory framework, which establishes a two-track permitting process and a 30% solar coverage limit on cultivated land. By leveraging this new regulatory certainty, the companies aim to accelerate deployment in a market that has been maturing since its initial 100 MW agrivoltaics pilot program launched in 2022.

The Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate has designated Resilicon’s planned polysilicon facility in Groningen, Netherlands, as a strategic project under the EU’s Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA). The project aims to reduce heavy reliance on non-EU polysilicon sources, where over 85% of global production is currently concentrated. With an estimated capital requirement of approximately €900 million, the facility is designed to be one of the world's most energy-efficient plants, utilizing green raw materials like metallurgical silicon and hydrogen. This initiative is pivotal for strengthening European supply chain resilience, targeting the projected 80,000–120,000 MT of annual European polysilicon demand by the end of the decade.

[Solar PV: Colombia Issues Resolution 40208 to Incentivize Renewable and Storage Integration]
The Colombian Ministry of Mines and Energy has issued Resolution 40208, establishing a long-term electricity contracting mechanism designed to mitigate demand risk and integrate renewable energy and storage capacity. The scheme involves 15-year contracts, with awards required by July 31, 2026, and delivery starting on January 1, 2030. The framework introduces four specific product categories: 24-hour supply, solar-only (6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.), hybrid blocks, and peak-demand supply (6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.), the latter serving as a direct signal for battery energy storage systems. This initiative marks a major step in reopening Colombia's long-term procurement market, aiming to address projected demand gaps while supporting the country's existing 1.59 GW of installed PV capacity.
