MUNICH, June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- During Intersolar Europe 2026, Huawei Digital Power, together with global partners, held the inaugural 2026 PV & ESS Safety Industry Summit in Munich on June 24, 2026, focusing on the safety risks and insurance coverage mismatch in the large-scale development of PV+ESS under the global energy transition. The summit brought together authoritative experts, association leaders, and insurance representatives for in-depth dialogue on energy storage safety standards, fire emergency challenges, test procedure evolution, and insurance innovation, charting a new path to safe and reliable development. PV+ESS Safety Calls for High-Quality DevelopmentXia Hesheng, Vice President of Huawei Digital Power and President of Huawei Digital Power Strategy & Marketing, emphasized that PV+ESS safety is not an option in the development of the new energy system—it is the necessity. It is not a single technological breakthrough, but an integration of multiple disciplines including electrochemistry, thermal management, power electronics, digital technology, and AI. Huawei has always adhered to a quality-first principle, investing long-term in PV+ESS safety technology innovation to ensure full-chain safety. Huawei will work with the industry to advance the deep integration of quantitative safety assessment and insurance mechanisms, driving high-quality development of the renewable energy industry. Safety Breakthroughs from a Global PerspectiveGerrit Lührung, Head of System Infrastructure and BESS, Bundesverband Energiespeicher Systeme e. V. (BVES) said that in the face of the "curtailment crisis," energy storage has evolved from a commercial arbitrage tool to a core system asset. Currently, the total battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity in Germany stands at 19 GW, with growth driven by the utility, commercial, and industrial sectors. Over the next three years, the industry must overcome regulatory restrictions, comply with the new safety guidelines, and unlock system value. Tom Hessels, Advisor of Energy and Transport Safety at the Netherlands Institute for Public Safety (NIPV), believes that battery fires are on the rise, with the core challenge being "information silos." He called for the release of UL 9540A test data (such as thermal runaway duration) and 24/7 manufacturer support channels to bridge the information gap ...
