With the widespread adoption of smart meters, the way you use solar energy is fundamentally changing. Instead of feeding excess electricity back into the grid for diminishing returns, it is becoming far more valuable to store and use your own energy intelligently. A home battery for existing solar panel systems offers a practical and future-ready solution.

POWEROAD is supplying its Air Cooling Container Energy Storage Systems to South Africa, marking a significant step in advancing the country’s energy transition. The systems will be deployed in partnership with POWEROAD’s partner, Zero Carbon Charge, a leading company developing South Africa’s first nationwide off-grid green charging network. This initiative combines solar power, battery energy storage, and EV charging to deliver reliable off-grid energy solutions.

Pylontech is rated among the top two highest-rated brands in EUPD’s Brand Leadership and Sustainability Rating (BLSR) Europe, in the category storage, underscoring its strong position in the European market. The company achieved outstanding results in financial stability and ESG performance, reflecting both resilience and a clear commitment to sustainability. In addition, Pylontech earned solid recognition from European installers and prosumers, highlighting its growing trust and relevance across key market segments.

Fire performance in rooftop PV is often assessed through the lens of IEC standards. However, when the focus is on real-world safety, risk mitigation, insurability and lender confidence, IEC alone does not fully capture the actual behaviour of a PV system in a building fire scenario. In this context, the standard that better reflects what truly matters in rooftop applications is Euroclass.
