Duke Energy | October 08, 2020
As new electric vehicles (EV) enter the market and strong sales growth continues nationwide, the Public Service Commission of South Carolina (PSCSC) has approved two Duke Energy electric transportation (ET) pilot programs that will allow South Carolina to join other states in deploying EV infrastructure to meet the needs of this growing market. Originally proposed in 2018, Duke Energy Carolinas and Duke Energy Progress participated in extensive working-group sessions with stakeholders for feedback on the innovative plans. The approved programs – the first in the Carolinas – reflect the inclusion of much of that feedback, as well as agreements with the Office of Regulatory Staff and ChargePoint.

Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd | March 07, 2022
Sungrow, the world's leading provider of renewable energy inverter solutions, announced that the SG6.0RS, a key product in Sungrow's brand-new home photovoltaic and energy storage system portfolio, has won the Contemporary Good Design Award. This internationally renowned award, presented by The Red Dot Organization, recognizes this product, as well as the entire series of residential products, for its superior aesthetics and functionality.
The SG6.0RS, as well as the similar residential series SG2.0-10.0 RS, are compatible with higher power panels, support up to three MPPTs, and can reach input currents of up to 16A per MPPT.As a result, the yield has increased even further. The simple design facilitates installation and application. This machine is smaller and lighter than comparable goods due to the ultra-thin panel and compact design. To perform the installation, only one person is required. Designed for ease of use, consumers may view power, yield, and problem information plainly and directly on the LED display without using their phones. As safety is a key priority for Sungrow, the product design team ensured that this product was completely secure and protected. Residential consumers may rely on this inverter for a lifetime of use due to the C5 anti-corrosion rating, IP65 protection, AFCI 2.0, and outstanding heat dissipation design. This new home series has been supplied to Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and other places, giving clean energy to over 30,000 families.
Due to the fact that this product series is supplied to the global home market, its R & D team developed changes based on consumer demand worldwide. Previously, buyers of home inverters were inconvenienced by awkward installation and complex applications. Additionally, when multiple residential inverters are used, they generate a lot of noise and a lot of heat. Sungrow's research and development team updated its residential series to address these issues.
"In many countries, residential users are the major consumers of electricity. As a result, we make it a mission to provide them with the most efficient, safe, and convenient experience of using clean energy. We achieve this by consistently working to improve their products with their customers and offering them the best possible solutions."
