### Exciting Developments in BC Technology
KOSTAL has launched the KAC50DP-BC100DE commercial energy storage system, tailored to meet local market demands. This product aligns with the current needs of the European commercial market, supporting functions such as photovoltaic integration and battery storage. It allows for seamless switching between grid-connected and off-grid modes when connected to an STS.
As the global energy transition accelerates, the energy storage sector is witnessing unprecedented growth opportunities. The Italian government aims to increase the share of renewable energy in total energy consumption to 28% by 2030.
### Major Announcements and Exhibitions
The 2025 Italy Renewable Energy Exhibition marked a significant presence for KOSTAL’s photovoltaic inverters. Recently, a concentrated procurement order for 1 GW of photovoltaic modules was announced in the South-to-North Water Diversion project. This tender is divided into two lots: the first involves N-type monocrystalline bifacial double-glass (TOPCon) modules with a planned procurement capacity of 700 MW, while the second involves monocrystalline bifacial double-slope (BC/HJT) modules with a procurement capacity of 300 MW.
The procurement scope includes designing, manufacturing, testing, packaging, and transportation of the equipment to the site (or port) for delivery, along with on-site unpacking inspection, installation guidance, commissioning, trial operation, defect rectification, performance guarantee assessments, technical services, and maintenance during the warranty period.
At the 2025 Jinan International Solar Exhibition, TCL Solar showcased its N-type matrix components that cater to residential rooftops and commercial scenarios, highlighting how technological innovation significantly empowers distributed energy applications.
TCL Solar has numerous underlying patented technologies related to BC components, which have been optimized to enhance key performance metrics, such as shadowing, temperature coefficients, operating temperatures, and power linear degradation, ensuring excellent performance even in low-light conditions.
