Myanmar, the largest country in Mainland Southeast Asia, is one of the least developed nations, with only 50 percent of households connected to the public grid. Solar energy as an important solution to resolve the energy crisis and climate change wins its due attention in Myanmar.

A PV energy storage system includes solar modules, controllers, inverters, batteries, loads, and other equipment. Today there are various technical routes, but whatever it is, the energy needs to be collected at a certain point. There are mainly two topologies in the market: DC coupling and AC coupling. Then you might ask: which configuration should be more preferred, AC or DC coupling? Today we are going to reveal the pros and cons of both.

This is a case study on the project run by United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Bamako Mali for a village, which is one of their poverty alleviation projects for underdeveloped countries. It's also the first mover in the Malian market in regards to sustainable solar energy.

The preheating of the electric vehicle refers to the use of the external power supply provided by the charger or the power supply inside the car battery to heat the power battery with various heating methods before starting the car, so that it reaches the optimal discharge working temperature, and then start the car. It is a warm-up before starting an electric car.

In practical applications of the integrated solar energy storage system, most power stations will divide the load into critical load and non-critical load, because for users of these power stations, the power consumption requirements of critical loads are higher, such as database stations or special electrical equipment, on the contrary, the electricity demand of non-critical loads is relatively low. Distinctive treatment for critical and non-critical loads can greatly reduce the capital investment of the power station. Therefore, in this kind of system, many users hope that the clean energy from the sun can be used for both critical loads and non-critical loads, so that not only can renewable energy be fully utilized, but also reduce the cost of grid electricity. In order to fulfill these user demands, ATESS has proposed a solution to add a smart meter to the original energy storage system.
