The future of solar unveiled at the Shanghai New Energy Conference 2025

Published 14 June 2025 · updated 25 October 2025

At PSW Energy, innovation is not just a value — it’s our driving force. This June, our team attended the Shanghai New Energy Conference 2025, one of the world’s leading renewable energy events. We connected with global industry leaders and explored the cutting-edge technologies that are shaping the future of solar energy.

Our objective was straightforward: to ensure that homes and businesses in Western Australia continue to benefit from the latest advancements in solar performance, efficiency, and intelligence. The conference reinforced our belief that staying ahead on a global scale allows us to deliver more reliable, efficient, and future-ready energy systems locally.

Key trends

Advanced Energy Storage Next-generation batteries with higher density and longer lifespans are driving down costs while improving reliability. These advancements will help West Australia households achieve deeper energy independence and more stable backup power.
AI-Driven Energy Management Artificial intelligence is transforming how energy is stored, predicted, and distributed — helping systems automatically optimise performance based on weather, grid conditions, and usage patterns.
Integrated Solar & EV Ecosystems As electric vehicles become mainstream, the integration of solar generation, battery storage, and EV charging will enable complete home energy ecosystems powered entirely by the sun.

The Shanghai New Energy Conference 2025 revealed major trends that will influence how renewable energy evolves — and how PSW Energy prepares to lead these changes in Western Australia.

Under the spotlight

During the event, PSW Energy engaged with several major international manufacturers, including Aiko, Sigenergy, TCL Sunpower, Jinko, Huawei, and Goodwe, all key innovators in sustainable energy.

Sigenergy showcased its AI-integrated battery and inverter systems, designed to optimise energy storage and usage in real-time.

TCL Sunpower introduced advancements in panel durability, engineered to withstand various climates, making them ideal for conditions in Western Australia.

Jinko shared insights on its next-generation N-type panels, which offer improved energy yields and stronger performance guarantees. Jinko x PSW

Huawei (iStore) presented updates to its FusionSolar platform, featuring more intelligent monitoring, enhanced safety, and superior inverter reliability.

Goodwe highlighted its range of EV charger-integrated inverters, connecting solar generation with the rapidly growing electric vehicle market.

Each partnership reinforces PSW Energy’s ambition to deliver globally trusted, high-efficiency solutions tailored to Australian customers’ needs.

The game changer

One of the most exciting breakthroughs at the conference came from Aiko Energy, which unveiled its latest solar panel boasting an impressive 25% efficiency—setting a world-leading standard in mainstream module performance.

For homeowners in Western Australia, this milestone means increased power generation from the same roof space, leading to improved returns on investment and faster energy independence. With a 25% efficiency rating, Aiko’s innovation converts more sunlight directly into energy, establishing a new benchmark for residential solar systems.

Smarter Monitoring, Greater Control

In addition to improving efficiency, Aiko has proposed a module-level monitoring integration that could revolutionise customers’ interactions with their solar systems with reduced hardware. This technology will enable homeowners to track the performance of each panel in real time, allowing them to identify any issues and optimise energy yield with precision quickly.

This integration would combine intelligent diagnostics with enhanced transparency, empowering PSW Energy customers with compatible inverters to see, understand, and manage their energy production like never before. It offers an exciting glimpse into the future of more intelligent, interconnected solar systems. Rumour has it that Sigenergy is investigating a potential collaboration with Aiko to bring this feature to life.

Bringing the future home

Our participation in the Shanghai New Energy Conference 2025 highlights PSW’s commitment to leading the way in global solar innovation. The insights and partnerships we gain from this conference will directly influence the products, solutions, and services we provide to our customers in 2026.

From Aiko’s record-setting panel efficiency to AI-powered energy management and advanced storage solutions that integrate with electric vehicles, we are dedicated to ensuring that West Australian households enjoy the best solar technology available.

Leading innovation first

At PSW Energy, our vision is clear: to make world-class sustainable energy technology accessible, intelligent, and built for the future. By engaging directly with international innovators, we’re ensuring that our customers in Western Australia are not just keeping up with global trends — they’re ahead of them.

The next generation of solar is here — and it’s coming to PSW Energy.
