Huawei has unveiled its “Top 10 Trends of Smart PV & ESS 2026”, setting out how solar power, wind energy and battery storage could evolve to become the backbone of future electricity systems.
The announcement was made at the company’s Digital Power event in Dhaka, where Eric Zhong, Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Huawei’s Smart PV & ESS Product Line, presented the findings alongside a new industry white paper.
Framed around the theme “All-Scenario Grid-Forming, Unleashing AI, and Forging Excellence”, the report argues that renewable technologies must move beyond rapid capacity growth and focus instead on grid stability, intelligent control and system-wide integration.
From rapid growth to system stability
Over the past decade, solar photovoltaics (PV), wind power and energy storage systems (ESS) have expanded at pace worldwide. However, Zhong warned that as renewable penetration increases, new pressures are emerging across generation, transmission and consumption.
“The industry is entering a phase of deeper value creation,” he said, signalling a shift from single-product innovation towards integrated, system-level solutions.
This transition is particularly relevant for markets such as the UK, where renewables already account for a significant share of electricity generation and grid flexibility is becoming a central policy focus.
