KUALA LUMPUR, 30 APRIL 2026 – Huawei Digital Power has launched its FusionSolar9.0 Smart PV & ESS solution in Malaysia, marking a major shift from conventional solar systems to intelligent, grid-stabilising and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy infrastructure, boosting Malaysia’s transition toward more intelligent, resilient and sustainable energy systems.
The solution introduces several industry firsts, including the world’s first grid-forming string inverter and the first 1000-volt alternating current (Vac) PV system. It also supports a maximum 11 megawatts (MW) PV array through a fundamental technological breakthrough. In addition, AI will enable autonomous operations with minimal or no on-site personnel across mountainous, floating and remote island sites, while equipping each plant with self-optimisation capabilities.
Held under the theme “Intelligence Behind Every Ray”, the launch event was hosted by Huawei Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Huawei Malaysia) and included 13 speakers from the green technology industry.
Chong Chern Peng, Huawei Malaysia Executive Vice President of Digital Power Business said that Malaysia is making steadfast progress in its clean energy transition. “Our ambition is clear: 70% by 2050. Achieving this will require speed, scale, and smarter technologies. This is exactly where the Huawei FusionSolar9.0 comes in,” he said.
He highlighted that by intelligently managing and storing solar energy, dependence on volatile fossil fuels can be reduced while lowering emissions, stabilising costs and building a stronger energy future for our nation.
Pushing the boundaries of utility-scale and large commercial & industrial (C&I) solar applications, the FusionSolar9.0 solution features the latest industry-leading 506KTL Smart String Inverters and new generation 3000/7000/11,000kilovolt-ampere (kVA) Smart Transformer Station (STS).
Complementing this is Huawei’s LUNA2000-241 series ESS solution, which supports energy storage and dispatch to improve system efficiency. With AI-enabled scheduling, the system delivers up to 20 percent higher energy yields and a round-trip efficiency of 91.3 percent, maximising efficiency and returns. Its ability to stabilise power supply and switch between on-grid and off-grid modes helps reduce downtime and operational risks while its safety features, tested against international fire safety standards, ensures reliable performance in demanding environments across a wide array of industries. Overall, the ESS contributes to lower levelised cost of energy (LCOE) and stronger long-term returns for businesses and energy investors.
In line with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), the solar and renewable energy sector is expected to contribute an additional RM220 billion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as well as create up to 310,000 green growth job opportunities by 2050. This was a main topic of discussion at the event with industry discussing how innovations can support Malaysia’s broader energy transition ambitions.
The FusionSolar9.0 Smart PV & ESS solution sets a new benchmark for utility-scale solar by improving overall performance and lowering long-term operating costs. It increases energy output by approximately one per cent, improves system fault detection by more than 50 per cent and enables smarter, data-driven maintenance that reduces manual checks. Over a 25-year lifecycle, these advancements can save up to USD300,000 in operating costs, delivering increased plant operations reliability and predictable returns in increasingly complex energy markets.
