As commercial solar adoption accelerates, Huawei’s hybrid cooling energy system offers high efficiency, safety and reliability for commercial and industrial energy systems.
With energy prices on the rise and mounting environmental obligations, Irish businesses are seeking reliable and future-proof, cost-effective solutions to fuel their growth sustainably. Earlier this year, Huawei introduced a next-generation commercial and industrial energy storage system. It is designed to help companies reduce electricity costs and enhance energy efficiency with smart energy storage solutions.
Safety and efficiency at the core
The energy storage system is the industry’s first hybrid air-liquid cooling system with a 215 kWh capacity, developed specifically for commercial applications. The system achieves 91.3% round-trip efficiency and uses pack-level optimisation, enabling businesses to access around 2% more usable energy than conventional designs.
Its ‘from cell to consumer’ dual safety architecture protects every stage from individual battery cells to final energy delivery. It has been certified with the highest-level Safety Prime Certification by TÜV Rheinland. Industry analysts agree that this sets a new benchmark for safety in large-scale energy storage projects.

investment and simplify installation.
Lower costs and faster returns
The energy storage system is designed to reduce initial investment and simplify installation. It includes:
• Cable-free installation without auxiliary transformers
• Up to 20% lower capital expenditure (CAPEX) compared with similar solutions
Huawei integrated software tools, such as AI-driven energy scheduling and return on investment (ROI) forecasting, can help operators boost profitability by over 10%, based on data from existing projects.
Supporting Ireland’s clean energy goals
The energy storage system is part of Huawei’s One-Fits-All solution, which combines solar PV, energy storage, EV charging and smart management systems into a single package. The platform is designed for flexible deployment, suitable for all locations ranging from offices, campuses and industrial plants. It supports both hybrid and off-grid installation.
With over 30 years of experience in global energy technology, Huawei is ready to assist Irish businesses in moving toward cleaner and sustainable energy solutions, aligning with Ireland’s long-term climate and energy ambitions.
