Sungrow Scientist Highlights Trends in Clean Energy and AI Integration at APSARA Conference
At the 2026 APSARA Conference in Hangzhou, Sungrow's Chief Scientist David Zhao highlighted 10 key trends driving the integration of clean energy and artificial intelligence (AI). He noted that by mid-2026, China's solar photovoltaic capacity reached 1,286 GW, surpassing coal-fired power for the first time. Despite global electrochemical energy storage capacity at 700 GWh, demand is projected to reach 15 TWh by 2050, indicating significant growth potential. Zhao emphasized rapid expansion in solar, wind, energy storage, electric vehicles, hydrogen, and AI data center power needs over the next five years.
