The three-day 2026 Shanghai SNEC Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Expo concluded successfully on June 5. As a benchmark event in the global new energy sector, this edition brought together over a thousand leading enterprises worldwide, focusing on three core development trends: full-scenario energy storage deployment, scaling of long-duration energy storage, and intelligent EMS algorithms. PV-storage integration and computing-power synergy have become industry consensus, marking the energy storage industry's official entry into a new phase of refined and high-quality development.
Debut at SNEC, Advancing Green Energy Together
At this critical juncture of comprehensive industry transformation, NATUS Electric made its grand debut at SNEC with a full range of medium and low voltage intelligent power distribution solutions and its star product — the NXTs-40.5 C-GIS gas-insulated switchgear.
German Craftsmanship · Green Energy Empowerment
Under the exhibition theme of "German Craftsmanship · Green Energy Empowerment", NATUS showcased its full-chain service capabilities from grid connection to end-point power distribution through a modular booth design. The team engaged in in-depth discussions with energy storage system integrators, PV EPCs, design institutes, and overseas customers. Discussions on site were lively and engaging, with multiple industry-leading enterprises reaching preliminary consensus on potential cooperation.
Hardcore Products, Adapting to Diverse Scenarios
At the expo, new tracks such as long-duration energy storage, energy storage solutions for AI data centers (AIDC), and virtual power plants fully erupted. Industry competition has shifted from traditional hardware parameter comparison to comprehensive strength competition in scenario-based solutions, intelligent algorithms, and full-chain services.
Based on this trend, NATUS Electric deeply integrates over 70 years of German power equipment manufacturing heritage with Chinese intelligent manufacturing advantages. The exhibited NXTs-40.5 C-GIS equipment, with its core advantages of small footprint, high protection rating, maintenance-free operation, and intelligent operation and maintenance, perfectly adapts to high-density and high-reliability application scenarios such as commercial and industrial energy storage and data centers.
Meanwhile, the showcased modular prefabricated substation solution can significantly reduce project installation cycles, helping PV-storage projects achieve rapid grid connection and deployment.
Intelligent Manufacturing Strength, Authoritative Certifications
Relying on its super factory with an an annual output value of RMB 2 billion, strict IEC international standards, and authoritative endorsements including Siemens ICP certification and KEMA certification, NATUS possesses full-chain R&D, manufacturing, and customized service capabilities.
Participating in SNEC is not only an important window for NATUS to showcase its technical strength and connect with global customers, but also a new starting point for the company to deepen its presence in the new energy power distribution track and practice its strategy of "Safe Power Distribution · Smart & Green Development".
Looking Ahead
Moving forward, NATUS Electric will continue to focus on core areas such as new energy grid connection, commercial and industrial energy storage, and AIDC data centers. Rooted in German craftsmanship and driven by technological innovation, NATUS will continuously refine intelligent power distribution products and solutions adapted to all scenarios. Together with global partners, we will jointly contribute to global energy carbon-neutral transition and create new value for the PV-storage industry!
