Recently, JinkoSolar has successfully signed Vietnam's first batch of household energy storage orders, which will provide double guarantee for Vietnam's incomplete power transmission and distribution network and household electricity environment. As one of the important layouts in overseas markets, the Vietnamese market has ranked first in module shipments for three consecutive years. The household energy storage system products launched this time can meet customers' needs for purely off-grid, on-off-grid switching, and access to diesel generators. Among them, the battery provides a high efficiency of more than 6000 cycles and covers a storage range of 7kWh-20kWh, and the inverter covers single-phase and three-phase products. The high protection level of IP65 can better cope with the local high humidity environment, and the soft pack battery will also provide an energy density 10%-15% higher than that of the square battery, and provide better thermal stability when used in a high temperature environment. Convenient split products can realize fast and flexible installation, and the intelligent on-off and off-grid switching system will also meet the local complex and changeable working conditions. At present, due to the instability of the power grid in some areas of Vietnam, there is still a limited power situation. It is believed that energy storage will also become an important solution to this problem in the near future. In view of the spontaneous self-use characteristics of photovoltaic users, the matching of the energy storage system will realize the entire closed-loop power consumption, which satisfies the customers' characteristics of high-efficiency power generation, flexible configuration and easy installation. Miao Gen, Chief Marketing Officer of JinkoSolar, said, “For JinkoSolar, this is a milestone moment. Vietnam is one of the fastest growing photovoltaic markets in the world. We believe that energy storage will also become Vietnam in the near future. As an indispensable part of the market, JinkoSolar will also make every effort to lead the Vietnamese photovoltaic market into a new PV+ stage."

Rystad Energy's head of power and gas markets told Montel that 30 GW of battery storage will be needed in the EU by 2030 to maintain the flexibility of the power system and ensure adequate supply. But by 2050, as coal and gas power plants are phased out, the proportion of more intermittent renewables increases and baseload supply is lost, the amount of energy needed for battery storage is expected to grow exponentially and reach close to 400 GW, added Carlos Torres-Diaz, citing preliminary calculations. At present, high costs and limited technical capabilities - large batteries can power a power system for no more than four hours - discourage investment in batteries. "You have to reduce costs and improve technology" to expect to see greater expansion of battery storage, he said. While the role of energy storage is undoubtedly critical in the energy transition, many uncertainties remain over how green power can be fed and how much storage is needed to help replenish the power system. Industry experts and lobby groups say the EU needs to set targets and offer incentives that emphasise their key role in the energy transition to encourage increased investment in energy storage and batteries. Torres-Diaz said: "Setting specific targets for storage capacity, along with some subsidies, would certainly help the industry to develop - as has been done with renewables - to provide greater scope for investment."

According to reports, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government of Japan plans to install photovoltaic panels on new single-family houses in the capital to help achieve the goal of halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The plan to amend the relevant regulations will be proposed at the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly in December. After the regulations are passed, they will go into effect after a two-year publicity period. As a policy goal, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government proposes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1 in 2000 by 2030. As of 2020, the emissions of offices and logistics-related industrial sectors are lower than in 2000, while the household sector has increased by 30% and has been slow to respond. Therefore, as an emission reduction measure for the household sector, new residential buildings will be required to be equipped with photovoltaic panels. According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's system plan, the requirement to install photovoltaic panels is a requirement for single-family house developers who sell houses, not for people who buy houses. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government envisages targeting the top 50 companies with the largest number of single-family housing developers operating in the city. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government stated that if this measure is introduced, Tokyo will become the first city in Japan to require the installation of photovoltaic power generation systems such as single-family houses. The basic policy states that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government will submit a draft revision of the ordinance to the Metropolitan Assembly in December 2022, and if passed, will strive to implement it from April 2025. In addition, in the two years before the implementation of the new regulations, the Metropolitan Government will pay close attention to research on how to provide supporting support in terms of the cost of installing photovoltaic power generation systems, maintenance management after installation, etc., and will also provide support for the installation of photovoltaic power generation systems. and prepared entities to provide assistance to deepen the understanding of the new measures among the population and entities.
