Risen Energy Launches Integrated Solar Storage Systems at SNEC 2025
NINGBO, China, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- On June 11, 2025, Risen Energy unveiled its Full-Stack Renewable Energy Solutions at the 18th SNEC PV Power Expo. The solutions lineup is designed to deliver a fully integrated ecosystem that brings together modules, inverters, energy storage and smart energy management platforms. These vertically integrated solutions are built to simplify procurement, reduce operational complexity, and resolve fragmented after-sales support—common issues that continue to challenge today's solar industry. Full-Stack Renewable Energy Solutions: Three System Configurations to Support Residential, C&I, and Utility-Scale Applications To support a wide range of customer needs, Risen Energy has developed three targeted system solutions for the residential, commercial and industrial (C&I), and utility-scale markets. Each configuration combines customized hardware with intelligent software to ensure optimized performance and user-centric energy management: Residential Solution – Featuring high-efficiency n-type modules, compact Luvit microinverters, and stackable storage systems, this offering is engineered to maximize safety, convenience, and energy efficiency for homeowners. Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity and rapid shutdown functionality provide smarter, safer home energy management. C&I Solution – Built for industrial parks, factories, and other commercial environments, this hybrid system combines PV, energy storage, and diesel generation under one platform, all managed through the Risen Cloud system. This enables real-time, end-to-end digital control of generation, storage, usage, and load balancing—delivering meaningful reductions in energy costs and improved operational visibility. Utility-Scale Solution – Powered by the high-density eTron liquid-cooled energy storage system (6.9MWh per unit), this large-scale solution delivers a 37% boost in energy density and a 23% improvement in space efficiency. Coupled with AI-driven cloud monitoring, the system helps maximize output and return on investment for developers and grid operators. Flagship technologies on display at SNEC: Hyper-ion Pro Module – Setting a new industry standard, this module delivers over 730Wp in mass production, with a bifaciality ratio of 90% and an ultra-low temperature coefficient of -0.24%/°C—surpassing both TOPCon and back-contact designs in core performance areas. Next-Gen Inverter – Designed with a single-stage integrated architecture, this inverter achieves over 98% peak efficiency and a 4% increase in energy yield compared to conventional models. Symmetrical stress load distribution contributes to a 50% longer system lifespan and enhanced long-term value. iCon Liquid-Cooled ESS – Offering modular scalability and direct integration with multiple energy inputs, this solution uses top-tier LFP cells and features IP55-rated protection for long-lasting reliability across a wide range of operating conditions. Key functions include off-grid capability, scalable capacity, and peak load balancing. Risen Stack1 Modular ESS – Designed for deployment flexibility, this system supports configurations from 48 to 120kWh with a uniform modular architecture. A six-level battery protection system ensures safety, while deployment can be completed in under five minutes using the Risen Cloud platform for intuitive operation and maintenance. Risen Energy also unveiled its new 4S Safety Architecture, which builds on the traditional BMS+EMS+PCS model by adding a proprietary Safety Management System (SMS). The solution applies intelligent algorithms and topologic strategy to create a closed-loop framework for prevention, control, and fail-safe operation—raising the benchmark for safety in solar storage deployments. "From cell to system, our goal has always been to bring clean energy into everyday life," said Song Yifeng, Director of Product Center at Risen Energy. "The future of energy doesn't lie in standalone products, but in integrated, intelligent systems. We're committed to pushing forward innovation across the entire energy value chain."

Legault says he's energized by public's disapproval of CAQ government
Quebec Politics QUEBEC — Premier François Legault acknowledged Wednesday that the people are disappointed in his government, but insisted poor polling numbers inspire him to keep trying. There was also a slice of good news for the Coalition Avenir Québec government on Wednesday: the Moody's credit rating agency opted not to downgrade Quebec's rating despite the province's projected historic deficit of $13.6 billion for 2025-26. 'I am well aware that many Quebecers are disappointed in our government,' Legault said Wednesday as he arrived for his last in-person cabinet meeting before the summer. 'But for me, it gives me energy. It makes me want to fight during the year and a few months that remain (before the next election) to deliver still more results to Quebecers. 'In October 2026, it will be up to Quebecers to decide if they want to keep me or not.' Legault was reacting to a new Pallas Data/L'actualité/Qc125 poll showing the CAQ has placed third in voter support for the second time in two months. In the previous poll, done by Léger for Le Journal de Montréal in May, the CAQ was bleeding support to the benefit of the Parti Québécois. The Pallas Data poll is different because it shows the CAQ losing support to the Quebec Liberals and the party's new leader, Pablo Rodriguez, who was elected to the top job Saturday. The poll was conducted just after Rodriguez won the leadership over second-place Charles Milliard. According to the poll, the PQ still leads in voter intentions with 31 per cent, but the Liberals under Rodriguez are not far behind with 26 per cent, up four points from the previous Pallas poll in March. The CAQ has fallen to third place with 15 per cent, 11 points less than the Liberals. For the Liberals, this is the best poll they have had since 2022. The Quebec Conservatives are fourth with 14 per cent and Québec solidaire is at 12 per cent. The Pallas poll was conducted from June 14 to 16 and is based on a sample of 1,085 Quebecers. The poll comes as Rodriguez is to meet Thursday with the entire 19-member Liberal caucus for the first time as leader. He will hold an afternoon news conference after the meeting. Legault also got more bad news Wednesday: Quebec's anticorruption squad UPAC announced it conducted searches Wednesday of the Société de l'assurance automobile du Québec's headquarters in connection with the SAAQclic fiasco, which the Gallant inquiry is investigating. The CAQ government did, however, get one tidbit of good news as Quebec enters the summer holiday season: A second credit rating agency, Moody's, which is based in New York, has decided not to downgrade Quebec's credit rating. In a statement issued Wednesday, Moody's maintained the rating at Aa2 with a 'stable' perspective. 'The stable outlook reflects our forecast that risks to the province's budget and fiscal plan are broadly balanced,' Moody's says. 'Despite the widening deficits in the near term, driven by the economic uncertainty of U.S. trade tensions, we expect the province's strong fiscal management will mitigate risks where possible. 'While the debt and interest burdens will rise, we expect they will remain with levels recorded by the province of the past decade.' The Moody's decision to maintain Quebec's credit rating follows that of DBRS on June 9. DBRS decided to maintain Quebec's rating at AA (low) with a 'stable' perspective. The two contrast with a decision in April by S&P, which lowered Quebec's credit rating from AA- to A+. It was the first time in 30 years that Quebec's credit rating was lowered. The latest decision is 'a positive sign,' Finance Minister Eric Girard said Wednesday on his way into the cabinet meeting. 'If you look at Moody's, they took a long-term perspective. They recognized that the current situation is difficult, but they are more positive in the long term.' This story was originally published June 18, 2025 at 3:42 PM.
