SEOUL, South Korea — July 6, 2026 The mercury is rising, and so is the anxiety. Across South Korea, families are bracing for a summer that forecasters warn could bring the highest electricity demand in the nation's history — and with it, the twin terrors of sky-high bills and sudden blackouts. A Summer of Record-Breaking Demand The numbers are stark. The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment projects that peak electricity demand this summer could reach 98.8 gigawatts (GW) during the third week of August, surpassing the previous record of 97 GW set in 2024. Prolonged heatwaves combined with cloudy weather — which reduces solar power generation — are expected to drive air-conditioning use to unprecedented levels. While the government has secured 107 GW of supply capacity, leaving a reserve margin of 8.2 GW, officials acknowledge that the strain on the grid will be immense. An additional 8.8 GW of reserve resources have been prepared to handle emergencies such as heavy rain, typhoons, or extreme heat. The government has designated June 29 through September 18 as the official power supply and demand response period, maintaining an emergency readiness posture. Bills That Bite For Korean households, the summer power crunch comes with a painful price tag. To ease the burden, the government has temporarily relaxed progressive tariff brackets for July and August. The first tier expands from 0-200 kWh to 0-300 kWh, and the second tier from 200-400 kWh to 300-450 kWh. The current rate structure applies 120 won per kWh up to 300 kWh, 214.6 won per kWh between 300-450 kWh, and 307.3 won per kWh above 450 kWh, with base charges rising sharply as consumption crosses each threshold. Even with these temporary adjustments, a household's summer electricity bill depends heavily on whether consumption crosses the 300 kWh or 450 kWh thresholds. For vulnerable households, the government has raised the monthly discount ceiling to a maximum of 20,000 won ($13), and electricity supply will continue even if bills remain unpaid from July through September. When the Lights Go Out But the monthly bill is only half the story. Across the country, households are confronting the reality of unexpected blackouts — often with devastating consequences. In May, a fire in an apartment complex in Sejong City caused a complete blackout affecting more than 1,400 households. The sudden outage halted refrigerators, freezers, elevators, and water supply systems, with officials warning that full restoration could take two to three weeks. Just weeks later, a power outage struck 1,900 households in Incheon's Songdo-dong, Dongchun-dong, and Yeonsu-dong areas at midnight. In Daegu, water overflow from an apartment storage tank flooded an electrical room, disrupting power and water to 1,376 homes. In January, during a severe cold wave, a blackout affecting two apartment buildings in Seoul's Guro District lasted 19 hours, leaving 939 households without heating in freezing temperatures. A powerful typhoon in May disrupted power to 57,000 households across the country. The government has since vowed to restore power within 24 hours if blackouts occur due to apartment facility issues. But for families living through these outages, every hour without power is a reminder of how fragile the grid can be. A National Push for Solar Recognizing the urgency, the Korean government is accelerating its renewable energy agenda. The Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment has set a goal of deploying 100 GW of renewable energy by 2030. The plan includes expanding rooftop PV installations on traditional markets, schools, parking lots, and factory roofs. The government aims to establish more than 700 "Sunlight Income Villages" this year — resident-led energy self-governance projects where local communities form cooperatives to pursue solar power generation and return profits to residents. All available measures are being mobilized, including industrial complex rooftop installations, agrivoltaics, floating solar, and the "Renewable Energy 100% (RE100)" initiative for public institutions. New factories will be mandated to install solar panels on their rooftops as part of a broader strategy to fast-track Korea's transition to renewable energy. The rooftop subsidy cap has been raised from 100 kW to 200 kW, and local governments are offering significant support. In Paju, Gyeonggi Province, households can receive an 80% subsidy for 3kW solar installations, with the owner paying just 909,000 won out of pocket. Yeongju City in North Gyeongsang Province offers up to 80% subsidy support for solar installations. A Solution Built for Korean Homes Enter the M6200-48L — a new generation of off-grid solar inverter designed for the unique challenges of the Korean energy landscape. With a pure sine wave output and power factor of 1.0, the system delivers high-quality electricity that protects sensitive electronics — from computers to modern appliances. The inverter features a built-in MPPT solar charge controller capable of handling up to 120A of solar charging current. The PV input accepts up to 500V DC, with an MPPT voltage range of 60V to 450V DC, maximizing energy harvest from solar panels even under cloudy conditions. The maximum PV array power reaches 6,500W, making it suitable for households of all sizes. The M6200-48L supports parallel operation with up to 12 units in single-phase or three-phase configurations — meaning the system can grow as your energy needs expand. This modular approach gives families the flexibility to start small and scale up over time. Freedom from the Grid The transfer time is just 10 milliseconds for personal computers and 20 milliseconds for home appliances — fast enough that most users won't even notice when the grid fails. With a surge power rating of 12,400 VA, the inverter can handle the startup loads of air conditioners, refrigerators, and water pumps without breaking a sweat. The system supports multiple output priorities — UTL, SOL, SBU, and SUB — giving users the flexibility to choose their preferred power source. Lithium battery activation can be performed by PV or utility, and the inverter communicates with LiFePO4 batteries via RS485 for optimized performance and extended battery life. The EQ function further enhances battery performance and extends lifecycle. Perhaps most importantly, this inverter can operate without batteries, providing immediate solar power during daylight hours — a critical feature for families who need relief from high electricity bills today, not months from now. Energy Independence Within Reach For Korean families, the choice is becoming clear. With electricity bills rising, blackouts becoming more frequent, and government policies increasingly supportive of self-generated solar power, the question is no longer if households should go solar, but when. The M6200-48L off-grid solar inverter offers a practical, affordable path to energy independence. It puts the power back in the hands of the people — where it belongs.

BANGKOK, Thailand — July 6, 2026 The numbers are staggering. A container truck snags a power line in Samut Prakan, and 70 utility poles collapse like dominoes — plunging entire communities into darkness. A summer storm tears through eastern Bangkok, toppling 89 power poles, crushing over 30 vehicles, and leaving wide swaths of the capital without electricity or internet. Another thunderstorm in Lat Krabang knocks down 40 more poles, paralyzing traffic and forcing residents to navigate darkened streets. For millions of Thai families, these scenes are all too familiar. And now, with electricity tariffs climbing and global energy prices in turmoil, the cost of staying connected has never been higher — or the case for going solar more compelling. Bills That Keep Rising Thailand's electricity tariff for the May-August 2026 billing cycle was set at 3.95 baht per unit, up from 3.88 baht in the previous period. The increase reflects soaring liquefied natural gas costs — gas accounts for roughly 60 percent of Thailand's power generation — and a 50.94 satang per unit surcharge to repay the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand's accumulated cost burden of 35.9 billion baht. An 18 percent hike from the previous rate. While the government has capped the first 200 units at 3 baht per unit for the June 2026 billing cycle, households consuming more than 400 units face rates as high as 5.00 baht per unit under proposed progressive tariff structures. Large families and small businesses operating from residential properties are bracing for even higher bills from July. The Energy Regulatory Commission is also studying new measures beyond July 2026 to continue easing the burden on low-income households. "The current energy crisis, triggered by the Iran war, prompted the government to ensure electricity costs for small households remain capped," the ERC noted. But for families with higher consumption, the message is clear: reduce usage, or pay the price. A Nation Under Pressure — Literally Beyond the monthly bill, Thailand's power infrastructure is under siege. In Surin and Buriram, summer storms toppled power poles and billboards, triggering widespread blackouts and road closures. In Nakhon Si Thammarat and Surat Thani, Storm Pabuk cut power across entire provinces as electricity poles fell and lines were severed by falling trees. The list goes on. For households in Bangkok's Lat Krabang district, the June 26 storm was a harsh reminder of how fragile the grid can be. "A thunderstorm with strong winds knocked down approximately 40 power poles, causing widespread power outages and internet disruptions," local officials reported. Authorities had to close roads and deploy emergency crews to work through the night. A Government That Wants You to Go Solar Recognizing the urgency, Thailand's National Energy Policy Council, chaired by Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, approved a sweeping package of electricity tariff reforms and solar incentives on April 29, 2026. The centerpiece is the "Solar Rooftop for the Public" scheme under a Net Billing model. Under the program, households can sell surplus electricity to the national grid at 2.20 baht per unit for 10 years. The government has set a purchase target of 500 MW — far exceeding the 90 MW cap in a similar scheme launched in 2013. Applications opened in early July. The incentives don't stop there. Royal Decree No. 805 B.E. 2569 (2026) allows individuals to claim personal income tax deductions of up to 200,000 baht for rooftop solar installations. Each taxpayer can claim relief for one meter and one system, with installations capped at 10 kWp. The tax incentive applies to installations completed between March 3, 2026, and December 31, 2028. The government is also rolling out 30-40 billion baht in low-interest loans for households installing 5-10 kW rooftop systems, with flexible down-payment and installment options. "The Finance Ministry is working to provide installment-based financing, allowing households to install rooftop systems at costs lower than their electricity bills," Energy Minister Akanat Promphan said. A Solution Built for Thailand's Realities Enter the GM Series 5.5/6.2KW — a new generation of on/off-grid hybrid inverters designed for the unique challenges of Thailand's energy landscape. With the ability to operate in grid-tie, off-grid, and grid-tie with backup modes, these inverters give families the flexibility to choose how they use power — and when they sell it back. The GM Series features a high PV input voltage range of up to 500V DC and an MPPT voltage range of 60V to 500V DC, maximizing energy harvest from solar panels even under Thailand's unpredictable weather. The built-in MPPT solar controller delivers up to 100A (5.5KW model) or 120A (6.2KW model) of solar charging current. But what truly sets the GM Series apart is its parallel operation capability — up to 12 units can be connected in single-phase or three-phase configurations. For households looking to scale up, or for small businesses needing reliable backup, this modular approach means the system grows with your needs. The inverter supports programmable supply priorities — SBU, SUB, SUF, and ZEC — giving users complete control over whether to draw from solar, battery, or the grid. The EQ function optimizes battery performance and extends lifecycle, while the detachable dust cover protects against Thailand's dusty and humid conditions. Turn Your Roof into a Power Plant Perhaps the most powerful feature is backflow prevention via an external CT sensor and grid connection function. This allows households to feed excess solar power back to the grid — and get paid for it. With the government's buyback rate of 2.20 baht per unit and a 10-year guarantee, the GM Series transforms residential rooftops into small-scale power generators. "More than 90 percent of households, around 21 million, are expected to benefit" from the new tariff and solar policies, Energy Minister Akanat Promphan confirmed. The government aims to maximize adoption by effectively turning residential rooftops into small-scale power generators. With installation procedures streamlined — self-use systems must be completed within seven days, and grid-sale systems within 30 days — there has never been a better time for Thai families to make the switch. A Future Powered by the Sun Thailand's solar energy market is expected to grow from 5.20 GW in 2025 to 5.55 GW in 2026, reaching 7.71 GW by 2031. The country's draft 2026 Power Development Plan calls for renewable energy to account for more than half of total generation capacity, with a long-term target of 51 percent renewables by 2037. By 2050, 70 percent of Thailand's power is expected to come from clean energy, with 60 percent from renewables. For Thai families, the message is unmistakable: energy independence is no longer a dream — it's a practical, affordable reality. With electricity bills rising, blackouts becoming more frequent, and government incentives at an all-time high, the question is no longer if households should go solar, but how soon. The GM Series 5.5/6.2KW hybrid inverter puts that answer within reach.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — July 6, 2026 As scorching heatwaves drive electricity demand to record levels and household bills climb ever higher, a quiet revolution is taking place across Vietnam's rooftops. Millions of families are turning to the sun — not just to save money, but to take back control of their energy future. Bills That Bite The numbers tell a sobering story. Vietnam's residential electricity tariff is divided into six progressive tiers, with the highest rate reaching 3,460 VND per kilowatt-hour . A household consuming 400 kWh in a single month — not uncommon during the sweltering summer — now faces a bill of over 1.16 million VND before taxes . And the pain doesn't stop there. Electricity prices have been increased four times since early 2023 — 3 percent, 4.5 percent, and two consecutive 4.8 percent hikes . With the tariff adjustment interval now reduced from six to three months, further increases loom on the horizon . For many Vietnamese families, these rising costs are more than an inconvenience. They are a financial burden that cuts into food, education, and savings. When the Lights Go Out But the monthly bill is only half the story. Across the country, households are bracing for something even more disruptive: power outages. In May and June, Hanoi and other northern localities suffered frequent load shedding due to low rainfall, which reduced capacity at hydropower plants . While officials have assured there will be no widespread power shortages for the remainder of 2026, the national grid is expected to operate under intense pressure as surging industrial and cooling demands outpace the addition of new power generation capacity . On May 15, nationwide power demand hit a record 54,654 MW — up 8.6 percent from a year earlier . The northern region alone recorded peak consumption of 20,482 MW on May 27, an increase of approximately 13.3 percent compared to the same period last year . The evening peak hours — from 8 to 11 PM — place the greatest strain on the system, precisely when solar power generation is unavailable after sunset . It is during these critical hours that families are most vulnerable to blackouts. A Government Call to Action Recognizing the urgency, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính has issued a directive calling for stricter electricity-saving measures and accelerated development of rooftop solar power . The target is to save at least 3 percent of total national electricity consumption in 2026, and to achieve a minimum 10 percent reduction in electricity use during peak hot months . The government aims to have approximately 10 percent of households nationwide install and use rooftop solar power annually . With approximately 28.6 million households in Vietnam, this target could bring solar power to nearly 2.8 million rooftops . A World Bank survey indicates that Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang are two cities with great potential for developing rooftop solar power . A Solution Built for Vietnam's Conditions Enter the EM8500-48L and EM11000-48L — a new generation of off-grid solar inverters designed to meet the unique challenges of Vietnam's energy landscape. With pure sine wave output and a power factor of 1.0, these systems deliver reliable, high-quality electricity that protects sensitive electronics — from computers to modern appliances. The inverters feature built-in dual MPPT solar charge controllers, capable of handling up to 140A (EM8500-48L) or 160A (EM11000-48L) of solar charging current. The PV input accepts up to 500V DC, with an MPPT voltage range of 60V to 500V DC, maximizing energy harvest from solar panels even under less-than-ideal weather conditions. The maximum PV array power reaches 10,000W for the EM8500-48L and 11,000W for the EM11000-48L, making them suitable for households of all sizes. Freedom from the Grid The transfer time is just 10 milliseconds for personal computers and 20 milliseconds for home appliances — fast enough that most users won't even notice when the grid fails. With surge power ratings of 17,000 VA and 22,000 VA respectively, these inverters can handle the startup loads of air conditioners, refrigerators, and water pumps without breaking a sweat. The systems support multiple output priorities — UTL, SOL, SBU, and SUB — giving users the flexibility to choose their preferred power source. Lithium battery activation can be performed by PV or utility, and the inverters communicate with LiFePO4 batteries via RS485 for optimized performance and extended battery life. The EQ function further enhances battery performance and extends lifecycle. Perhaps most importantly, these inverters can operate without batteries, providing immediate solar power during daylight hours — a critical feature for families who need relief from high electricity bills today, not months from now. A Growing Movement The shift to solar is already gaining momentum. EVNNPC has assigned a plan for the development of self-produced, self-consumed rooftop solar power with a total capacity of 680 MW across 10,188 customers . The government has also issued Decree 243/2026/ND-CP, which took effect on June 26, 2026, allowing households to sell surplus electricity from their rooftop solar systems . Surplus electricity can now be bought and sold through agreements between parties, though not exceeding 50 percent of the output from the power source . The Vietnam Solar Energy Market, valued at 19.5 GW in 2025, is estimated to grow to 37.63 GW by 2031 — a compound annual growth rate of 11.58 percent . As the country pushes toward its Net Zero 2050 target, rooftop solar is emerging as a cornerstone of Vietnam's energy transition. Energy Independence Within Reach For Vietnamese families, the choice is becoming clear. With electricity prices rising, blackouts looming, and government policies increasingly supportive of self-generated solar power, the question is no longer if households should go solar, but when. The EM8500-48L and EM11000-48L off-grid solar inverters offer a practical, affordable path to energy independence. They put the power back in the hands of the people — where it belongs.

MANILA, Philippines — July 6, 2026 Across the Philippines, families are grappling with a double blow: sky-high electricity bills and the all-too-familiar dread of a sudden blackout. As summer heat drives demand to record levels and global fuel costs remain volatile, more Filipino households are taking control of their energy future — and a new generation of off-grid solar technology is making that leap more practical and affordable than ever before. A Nation Under Pressure The numbers paint a stark picture. In June alone, Manila Electric Company (Meralco) raised its residential rate to PHP 14.4833 per kilowatt-hour, pushing a typical 200-kWh household bill up by another PHP 30. The generation charge — the largest component of the bill — jumped to PHP 9.0704 per kWh, driven by tight supply conditions that forced the Luzon grid into Red Alert status for three consecutive days in May. The pain is even sharper in the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market, where prices surged by 38.5 percent in May to PHP 7.79 per kWh from PHP 5.63 the previous month. And for families already struggling to make ends meet, energy costs are taking an outsized toll: low-income households now spend about 16 percent of their budgets on power bills, according to the International Energy Agency. "The Philippines has strong solar energy potential because of its long sunshine hours throughout the year," noted an industry observer at a recent energy exhibition in Manila. "As electricity prices continue to rise, more local customers are looking for reliable and affordable solar energy systems." When the Lights Go Out Beyond the monthly bill, Filipinos face a more immediate threat: power outages that can strike without warning. A recent study by market research firm Agile Data Solutions found that 18 percent of Filipinos say they always experience blackouts, while another 49 percent encounter them occasionally. The Luzon and Visayas grids were placed under red alert this year due to sustained high demand and the shutdown of major coal-fired facilities. For island communities and remote barangays, the situation is even more dire. In Palawan, a massive PHP 800-million microgrid project is underway to bring 24/7 electricity to over 30,000 residents across 14 underserved communities. In Quezon province, the Department of Energy is rolling out a PHP 52-million hybrid microgrid to power an island barangay. And in Nueva Vizcaya, the provincial government has allocated PHP 16 million this year alone to provide solar kits to 3,600 more upland households. But for the millions of Filipino families who cannot wait for government infrastructure to arrive, the answer is already on their rooftops. A Solution Built for the Philippines Enter the EM6200T-48L — a 6.2 kW off-grid solar inverter designed specifically for the unique challenges of the Philippine energy landscape. With a 94 percent peak efficiency and a 120A maximum solar charge current, the system harnesses the country's abundant sunshine to power homes through the longest summer days and the darkest stormy nights. The device's dual output capability ensures that critical appliances stay running even during severe weather. Its pure sine wave output keeps sensitive electronics safe, while the 10-20 millisecond transfer time means that when the grid fails, the lights stay on — seamlessly. With a surge capacity of 12,400 VA, the inverter can handle the startup load of refrigerators, air conditioners, and water pumps without breaking a sweat. "The need for reliable backup power during typhoon season cannot be overstated," observed a solar technology representative during a recent industry showcase. "Home backup systems with modular architecture and substantial expansion capacity are built to handle the frequent outages — keeping refrigerators running, connectivity intact and households protected." Freedom from the Grid The EM6200T-48L accepts a wide input voltage range of 90-280VAC, making it compatible with the unstable grid conditions common in many Philippine provinces. Its MPPT solar charger operates across a 60-500VDC range, maximizing energy harvest from solar panels regardless of weather conditions. And with lithium battery communication via RS485, the system optimizes battery performance and extends lifespan. Perhaps most importantly, the inverter offers true energy independence. Families can say goodbye to skyrocketing electricity bills and the anxiety of unexpected outages. Children can study without interruption. Small businesses can keep their doors open longer. And when typhoons strike — as they inevitably do — homes remain powered, connected, and safe. A Growing Movement The shift to solar is already underway. The same Agile Data study found that nearly 87 percent of Filipinos are considering installing solar panels, with 82.91 percent intending to adopt solar power within the next one to five years. Lowering electricity bills emerged as the main driver, cited by 33.59 percent of respondents, followed by the need for reliable power supply (16.75 percent). "The Philippines has 1.8 GW in potential rooftop solar capacity across homes, commercial buildings and public facilities," a recent Philstar analysis noted. "Even modest expansion of distributed solar could help reduce electricity costs, strengthen energy resilience and lessen the country's exposure to unpredictable global fuel markets." As National Power Corp. President Jericho Nograles put it: "When the Middle East crisis erupted, crude oil prices went up. I looked into hybridization, then I said: 'Let's roll it out as fast as we can and as meaningfully as we can.'"

World-Class Solar Meets World-Class Manufacturing: Chile's First High-Capacity Hybrid Inverter Assembly Line Opens in Antofagasta, Powering the Nation's Energy Revolution ANTOFAGASTA, Chile – June 30, 2026 – In a historic milestone for Chile's renewable energy ambitions, government officials, industry leaders, and energy sector stakeholders gathered today at the Antofagasta Industrial Park to inaugurate the country's first dedicated local assembly facility for high-capacity off-grid hybrid solar inverters. The new production line will manufacture the EM8500-48L and EM11000-48L series—powerful 8.5kW and 11kW hybrid inverters featuring dual MPPT tracking—marking a transformative step toward reducing Chile's dependence on imported energy equipment and establishing the nation as a manufacturing hub for advanced solar technology in Latin America. The ceremony, held at the newly established facility in Antofagasta—the heart of Chile's mining and renewable energy corridor—was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Energy, the National Energy Commission (CNE), the Chilean Solar Energy Association (ACESOL), and key private-sector partners. The inauguration comes at a pivotal moment for Chile's energy sector, as the country accelerates toward its target of 80% renewables in the power mix by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. Designed for the World's Most Demanding Solar Environment Chile's geography presents both extraordinary opportunities and unique challenges for solar energy. The Atacama Desert in northern Chile receives some of the highest solar irradiance on Earth—2,500 to 2,700 kWh per kWp per year on a fixed-tilt system, the highest solar yield of any major desert region globally. The region delivers more than 7 kWh per square meter per day of solar irradiance, among the highest anywhere on the planet. Yet this same environment subjects equipment to extreme temperature fluctuations, intense ultraviolet radiation, and pervasive dust and sand. The EM8500-48L and EM11000-48L inverters, with their robust operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C and detachable dust covers, are engineered to perform reliably in these demanding conditions. Their wide MPPT voltage range of 60Vdc to 500Vdc and dual MPPT inputs—each supporting up to 18A—are designed to maximize energy harvest from Chile's abundant sunshine, while their lithium battery activation by PV or utility and RS485 communication with LiFePO4 batteries ensure seamless integration with modern energy storage systems. "Chile is blessed with the best solar resources on the planet. With this new local assembly facility, we are finally turning that natural advantage into an industrial advantage," said a senior official from the Ministry of Energy who spoke at the inauguration. "Localizing the production of advanced hybrid inverters reduces our import dependency, creates skilled jobs, and ensures that Chilean families, businesses, and industries have access to affordable, reliable clean energy." Powering Chile's Extraordinary Solar Transformation Chile's solar energy transformation is nothing short of remarkable. Solar photovoltaic energy generated 2,141 GWh in the National Electric System (SEN) in March 2026, equivalent to 28.7% of total monthly generation. During the month, solar output reached an instantaneous peak share of 75.1%. Operational photovoltaic capacity stood at 11,999 MW at the end of March, with an additional 10,203 MW of renewable capacity under construction, primarily solar projects and storage systems. Total installed capacity in the SEN reached 38,005 MW, of which 26,553 MW—or 69.9%—corresponded to renewable technologies. The government's ambitions extend even further. Chile aims to reach 80% renewables in the power mix by 2030 and achieve zero emissions by 2050. The recently published Energy Transition Law prioritizes faster development of transmission infrastructure and improved planning and permitting procedures, as well as the deployment of energy storage technologies needed to integrate larger shares of solar and wind power into the grid. The CNE has also approved preliminary terms for the 2026/01 power supply tender, a technology-neutral process that favors renewables by excluding high-emission fuels and enabling storage-backed bids, with a total tendered volume of 2,835 GWh/year under 15-year contracts. The EM8500-48L and EM11000-48L inverters assembled at the Antofagasta facility will play a critical role in this expansion. With 8.5kW and 11kW nominal output capacities, surge power reaching 17,000VA and 22,000VA respectively, and maximum solar charge currents of 140A and 160A, these high-capacity units are ideally suited for commercial, industrial, and large-scale residential applications across Chile's diverse energy landscape. Meeting the Needs of Chile's Mining Heartland Chile is the world's largest copper producer, and the mining sector represents both a massive energy consumer and a critical opportunity for renewable energy deployment. The Chilean government has established ambitious goals for the mining sector, including a complete transition to renewable electricity by 2050. Major mining operations are already embracing solar energy: the Escondida copper mine is developing a 110MW solar PV plant paired with 110MW/540MWh battery storage, while the Spence mine is planning an 85MW solar project with 85MW/420MWh storage. The Antofagasta region—home to the world's largest copper reserves and the new inverter assembly facility—is at the center of this transformation. The EM8500-48L and EM11000-48L inverters, with their ability to operate without batteries and support dual MPPT tracking for maximum energy harvest, are ideally suited for off-grid and backup power applications at remote mining sites, processing facilities, and exploration camps. A real-world off-grid solar hybrid system designed for a copper mining operation in the Atacama combines a 6.2 MW photovoltaic array with a 12 MWh lithium-ion battery bank—exactly the kind of application where high-capacity hybrid inverters are indispensable. "Chile's mining sector is the engine of our economy, and renewable energy is the key to making that engine cleaner, more competitive, and more sustainable," noted a representative from the mining industry who attended the inauguration. "Locally assembled high-capacity inverters mean shorter supply chains, faster maintenance response times, and lower costs for our operations." Supporting Rural Electrification and Distributed Generation While Chile's overall electricity access rate is high, rural and isolated communities—particularly in the northern desert and southern Patagonia regions—continue to face challenges. Chile's Energy Access Fund (FAE) provides funding for energy access small-scale projects focused on renewable energy sources such as solar thermal and solar photovoltaic systems, with the objective of improving energy access for rural and isolated communities. Between 2026 and 2027, the government is implementing energy reconversion projects in at least 10 isolated localities, incorporating hybrid microgrids with renewable sources and batteries. The EM8500-48L and EM11000-48L inverters, with their dual MPPT tracking and high solar charge currents, are ideally suited for these off-grid and mini-grid applications. Their ability to support lithium battery communication via RS485 and operate with or without batteries provides the flexibility needed for diverse rural applications—from community health centers and schools to agricultural processing facilities and water pumping systems. Distributed generation is also expanding rapidly. Small-scale distributed generation (PMGD) projects injected 706 GWh into the SEN during March 2026, representing year-on-year growth of 14.4%. PMGDs now account for 9.6% of total system generation, with solar technology dominating the small-scale segment. The government has formally incorporated energy storage into the small-scale generation regime through Decree No. 1/2026, creating new opportunities for hybrid solar-plus-storage systems. The Sercotec Crece Sostenible fund is also providing subsidies of $7–9 million Chilean pesos for SMEs to invest in solar panels for self-generation. A Strategic Manufacturing Hub for Latin America The Antofagasta assembly facility represents more than an industrial milestone—it positions Chile as an emerging manufacturing hub for solar technology in Latin America. The Latin America and Caribbean PV inverter market is projected to reach approximately USD 1.8–2.2 billion in 2026, driven by accelerating utility-scale solar deployment in Brazil, Chile, and Colombia. Chile's strategic location, stable investment climate, and world-class solar resources make it an ideal base for regional manufacturing and distribution. The facility's focus on high-capacity inverters (8.5kW and 11kW) addresses a critical gap in the Latin American market, where demand for commercial and industrial-scale off-grid solutions is growing rapidly. With annual regional demand growth of 12–15% through 2030, locally assembled products offer significant advantages in terms of cost, lead time, and after-sales support. "Solar energy is not only key to advancing the energy transition, but also to improving quality of life, lowering electricity costs and stimulating economic growth," said ACESOL President Bárbara Barbieri. "Chile has a unique opportunity to harness this potential and consolidate its position as a leader in clean energy." The Antofagasta assembly facility is a powerful demonstration of that vision becoming reality.

Turkey's Energy Independence Gets a Homegrown Powerhouse: New Hybrid Inverter Assembly Line Opens in Ankara, Fueling the Nation's Solar Surge ANKARA, Turkey – June 30, 2026 – In a landmark development for Turkey's renewable energy ambitions, government officials, industry leaders, and energy sector stakeholders gathered today at the Ankara Industrial Zone to inaugurate the country's newest local assembly facility for off-grid hybrid solar inverters. The production line will manufacture the EM6200T-48L series—a powerful 6.2kW/6.2kVA hybrid inverter with advanced dual-output capabilities—marking a decisive step toward reducing Turkey's dependence on imported energy equipment and accelerating the nation's transition to a clean energy future. The ceremony, held at the newly established facility in Ankara's rapidly expanding renewable energy manufacturing corridor, was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK), and key private-sector partners. The inauguration comes at a pivotal moment for Turkey's energy sector: solar power is on track to become the country's largest source of power generation by the end of 2026, surpassing cumulative installed hydropower capacity. Built for Turkey's Diverse Climate and Terrain Turkey's geography presents both extraordinary opportunities and unique challenges for solar energy. The country spans multiple climate zones—from the Mediterranean coast to the arid steppes of Central Anatolia and the mountainous terrain of Eastern Anatolia, where winter temperatures can drop well below freezing. The EM6200T-48L inverter, with its robust operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C and detachable dust cover, is engineered to perform reliably across all these conditions. Turkey enjoys an average annual solar radiation of approximately 3.6 kWh/m² per day, with a total yearly radiation period of about 2,610 hours. The Southeastern Anatolia region, in particular, offers some of the best solar resources in the region, with irradiation levels reaching 1,460 kWh/m² per year. The EM6200T-48L's wide MPPT voltage range of 60Vdc to 500Vdc and maximum solar input current of 27A are designed to maximize energy harvest from Turkey's abundant sunshine, while its dual-output capability allows users to power critical loads separately from non-essential appliances—a feature particularly valuable in regions with unreliable grid supply. "Turkey is blessed with some of the richest solar resources in the Mediterranean region. With this new local assembly facility, we are finally turning that natural advantage into a manufacturing advantage," said a senior official from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources who spoke at the inauguration. "Localizing the production of advanced hybrid inverters reduces our import dependency, creates skilled jobs, and ensures that Turkish families and businesses have access to affordable, reliable clean energy." Powering Turkey's Solar Revolution Turkey's solar energy transformation is nothing short of remarkable. From just 40 MW of installed solar capacity in 2014, the country has expanded to 26.7 GW by April 2026—a 641-fold increase in just over a decade. Solar now accounts for 21.3% of the country's total installed electricity capacity of 125.4 GW. Together, wind and solar have reached 41.8 GW, representing 33.3% of total installed capacity. The government's ambitions, however, are even more dramatic. Turkey aims to reach 120 GW of combined wind and solar capacity by 2035, requiring annual additions of 8 to 10 GW. To support this growth, the government has committed approximately $30 billion in green transmission infrastructure investments by 2035. The EM6200T-48L inverters assembled at the new facility will play a critical role in this expansion, supporting both grid-connected and off-grid applications across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The residential solar PV inverter market in Turkey is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 12–16% between 2026 and 2035, driven by rising retail electricity tariffs, expanding net-metering adoption, and the rapid pairing of rooftop solar with battery storage. The EM6200T-48L, with its 48V battery compatibility, 120A maximum solar charge current, and lithium battery activation by PV or utility, is ideally positioned to capture this growing demand. Addressing Energy Security and Import Dependency Turkey's heavy reliance on imported energy—particularly natural gas from Russia, Iran, and Azerbaijan, and oil from Iraq and Russia—has long been a strategic vulnerability. The energy import bill remains a significant burden on the national economy, and recent geopolitical tensions have only underscored the urgency of reducing foreign dependency. "Foremost among Türkiye's priorities, of course, is to curtail foreign dependency in energy and make the most of our own resources," President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has emphasized. The government's renewable energy strategy is explicitly designed to eliminate foreign dependency in energy. The local assembly of EM6200T-48L inverters directly supports this strategic objective. By manufacturing critical solar components domestically, Turkey reduces its exposure to global supply chain disruptions and currency fluctuations while creating a resilient, locally rooted renewable energy ecosystem. The facility also aligns with the government's Local Content requirements under the YEKA (Renewable Energy Resource Area) program, which mandates minimum domestic production requirements for major components including solar panels and inverters. Supporting Rural Electrification and Energy Access While Turkey's overall electricity access rate is near 100%, energy poverty remains a concern for approximately 5–7% of the population. Off-grid solar applications are essential for reaching remote communities, telecom towers, mining operations, and tourism facilities in areas where grid extension is economically challenging. The EM6200T-48L's dual-output capability allows it to serve both critical and non-critical loads simultaneously, making it ideal for rural health centers, schools, and small businesses that require reliable power for essential equipment. Its ability to operate with lithium batteries via RS485 communication and its lithium battery activation function—available by both PV and utility—ensure seamless integration with modern energy storage systems. Annual off-grid panel demand in Turkey is estimated at 180–250 MWp in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 12–16% expected through 2035, outpacing the overall Turkish solar market. The locally assembled EM6200T-48L inverters will be prioritized for government-backed rural electrification projects and community solar initiatives. A Strategic Hub for Regional Energy Manufacturing The Ankara assembly facility represents more than an industrial milestone—it positions Turkey as an emerging manufacturing hub for solar technology in the broader Europe-Middle East region. With major global players already expanding their local inverter production partnerships in Turkey, the country is rapidly establishing itself as a critical node in the regional renewable energy supply chain. "Turkey is rapidly emerging as a key strategic market in the global energy transition," industry observers have noted. The country's strategic location, stable investment climate, and ambitious energy transition roadmap—including the goal of becoming a green energy corridor between Europe and Asia—have attracted increasing interest from international partners. The EM6200T-48L inverters assembled at the Ankara facility will be available through authorized distributors across Turkey, with priority given to government-backed renewable energy projects, organized industrial zones, and community solar initiatives. The facility is expected to create significant local employment opportunities while contributing to Turkey's goal of achieving 80 GW of solar and 40 GW of wind energy production by 2035.

Senegal’s Solar Revolution Goes Local: New Hybrid Inverter Assembly Line Opens in Diamniadio, Powering West Africa’s Clean Energy Hub DIAMNIADIO, Senegal – June 30, 2026 – In a historic milestone for Senegal’s energy independence, government officials, industry leaders, and renewable energy stakeholders gathered today at the Diamniadio Industrial Park to inaugurate the country’s first large-scale local assembly facility for off-grid hybrid solar inverters. The new production line will manufacture the EM Series of hybrid inverters—offering capacities from 1.5kW to 6.2kW with advanced MPPT solar charging technology—marking a decisive shift from equipment importing to domestic manufacturing and positioning Senegal as West Africa’s emerging hub for solar technology production. The ceremony, held at the newly established facility in Diamniadio—Senegal’s flagship industrial zone located approximately 30 kilometres from Dakar—was attended by representatives from the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum and Mines, the National Agency for Renewable Energy (ANER), the Rural Electrification Agency (ASER), and key private-sector partners. The event coincided with a pivotal moment for Senegal’s energy sector: just days earlier, the ECOWAS Parliament concluded a five-day joint committee meeting in Dakar focused on advancing renewable energy deployment and accelerating rural electrification across West Africa. Designed for Senegal’s Unique Climate and Terrain Senegal’s geography presents distinct challenges for energy infrastructure. The country spans diverse climatic zones—from the humid coastal belt along the Atlantic to the arid Sahelian interior in the north and east, where temperatures regularly exceed 40°C and dust storms are common during the dry season. The EM Series inverters, with their detachable dust covers and wide operating temperature range of -10°C to 50°C, are engineered to withstand these harsh conditions. Their ability to operate without batteries and compatibility with LiFePO4 batteries via RS485 communication make them particularly well-suited for Senegal’s varied applications—from coastal urban centres to remote Sahelian villages. “Senegal has more sunshine than Germany, more wind than Denmark, and more coastline than the Netherlands. The question was never whether we could power ourselves—it was when we would choose to do so,” Thierno Seydou Ly, Senegal’s Minister of Energy and Petroleum, famously observed. Today, that choice is being realised through local manufacturing that puts solar technology directly in the hands of Senegalese communities. Closing the Rural-Urban Energy Divide Senegal has made remarkable progress in electrification, with the national access rate rising from 45 percent to 88 percent over the past eight years. However, a significant urban-rural divide persists: while 97.3 percent of urban residents are connected to the grid, only 54.6 percent of rural dwellers have access to electricity. More than 30 percent of rural communities remain without power. The EM Series inverters—available in 1.5kW, 2.5kW, 3.5kW, 5.5kW, and 6.2kW models with pure sine wave output and surge power capacities reaching up to 12,400VA—are designed to bridge this gap. Their multiple output priority modes (UTL, SOL, SBU, SUB) allow users to prioritise solar, battery, or grid power based on local conditions, while the built-in MPPT solar charge controllers (up to 120A) maximise energy harvest from Senegal’s abundant sunshine. The locally assembled units will directly support the government’s National Energy Pact, unveiled at the Mission 300 energy summit in January 2025, which targets providing electricity to an additional 6.6 million people by 2030. They will also complement the $13 million ASER–IRENA project, launched in early July, which is installing and rehabilitating mini solar power plants across Matam, Saint-Louis, Louga, Kaffrine and Tambacounda—regions where electricity access remains critically low. Advancing Senegal’s Green Industrialisation Agenda The Diamniadio facility represents more than an energy project—it is a cornerstone of Senegal’s broader industrial strategy. The facility is situated within one of eight Green Energy Zones (GEZ) identified in a new study co-published by UNIDO, Senegal’s Ministry of Environment and Ecological Transition, and Climate Parliament. These zones are dedicated areas that combine renewable energy generation with industrial production, aimed at attracting investment, creating jobs, increasing local value addition, and reducing emissions. “All the key sectors targeted for the revival of the national economy—such as agriculture, livestock farming, fisheries, tourism, health and nutrition, and access to water—remain more or less linked to industrialisation based on renewable energy,” Honourable Samba Dang, Vice-President of the National Assembly of Senegal, underscored at the GEZ validation workshop in April. The local assembly of EM Series inverters directly supports Senegal’s target of increasing renewable energy’s share to 40 percent of installed capacity by 2030, backed by a €2.5 billion facility under the country’s Just Energy Transition Partnership. It also aligns with the government’s recent decision to exempt 22 categories of renewable energy equipment from the 18 percent value-added tax, a policy measure designed to accelerate solar adoption nationwide. Built for Senegal, By Senegal The EM Series inverters assembled at the new facility feature lithium battery activation by PV or utility, compatibility with LiFePO4 batteries via RS485 communication, and the ability to operate without batteries—a critical flexibility for off-grid applications where battery costs can be prohibitive. The inverters also include equalisation (EQ) functions to optimise battery performance and extend lifecycle, reducing long-term ownership costs for Senegalese households and businesses. With peak efficiency of 96 percent from PV to inverter and 93 percent from battery to inverter, the locally assembled units deliver significant energy savings over their operational lifespan—a crucial advantage in a country where energy costs remain a major economic burden. Industry analysts project that Africa’s single-phase PV inverter market will grow from an estimated USD 420–480 million in 2026 to approximately USD 1.1–1.4 billion by 2035, driven by rapid residential and small commercial solar adoption across the continent. Senegal’s installed solar capacity has already reached 671 MW, ranking third in West Africa behind Nigeria and Côte d’Ivoire, and the country is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this growing market. A Regional Beacon for Clean Energy Manufacturing The inauguration of the Diamniadio assembly facility signals Senegal’s emergence as a regional manufacturing hub for solar technology. The country’s strategic location, stable investment climate, and ambitious energy transition roadmap have attracted increasing interest from international partners seeking to establish local production footholds in West Africa. “Senegal is advancing a structured roadmap to develop its renewable energy sector, with a target of 40% renewable energy in its electricity mix by 2030,” noted a senior official from the Ministry of Energy, Petroleum and Mines who spoke at the inauguration. “Localising the production of critical components like hybrid inverters reduces our dependence on imports, creates skilled jobs, and ensures that Senegalese families and businesses have access to affordable, reliable clean energy.” The EM Series inverters assembled at the Diamniadio facility will be prioritised for government-backed rural electrification projects, including the World Bank-supported Senegal Energy Access Scale-Up Project, which aims to electrify nearly 200,000 households, as well as 600 health centres and 200 schools. They will also support the government’s goal of achieving universal electricity access by 2029.

Lithium battery activation – Can revive dormant LiFePO4 batteries using only solar or utility power, a feature that saves costly battery replacements. Detachable dust cover – Protects internal components from the infamous Philippine dust and humidity, ideal for provinces and farm areas. Works without a battery – During daytime, solar power directly runs aircons, refrigerators, and pumps – cutting grid dependence instantly. No More "Rotating Brownouts" With MPPT solar charge currents up to 120A and AC charge currents up to 80A, the EM Series supports multiple output priorities (UTL, SOL, SBU, SUB). Households can program it to prioritize solar first, then battery, then grid – ensuring that during evening brownouts, a fully charged battery keeps lights, fans, and Wi-Fi running. “My only wish is to not wake up to a dead phone and a melted refrigerator,” said Mrs. Corazon Gomez, a resident of Bulacan who attended the launch. “If this inverter can give me that peace of mind and lower my monthly bill, I want one before the next typhoon season.” Affordable Power Independence The Philippine average electricity rate remains among the highest in Asia. By harvesting free solar energy with up to 96% peak efficiency (PV to inverter) and a pure sine wave output safe for all appliances, the EM Series promises a return on investment in as little as two to three years. The inverter also features RS485 communication for lithium battery management, optional WiFi remote monitoring – allowing users to check system status from a smartphone – and a built-in EQ function to extend battery life. Availability The EM Series is now being distributed through major renewable energy partners across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. A typical 3.5KW system can power a medium-sized home with aircon, TV, lights, and a refrigerator during an outage.
