[Munich, Germany, June 23, 2026] The Smarter E AWARD, widely regarded as the "Oscar of the energy sector", was presented in Munich, Germany. Huawei Smart PV’s SUN2000-506KTL string inverter (domestic model: 460KTL) claimed the 2026 The Smarter E AWARD in the Photovoltaic category, making it the only power station-type PV inverter to receive this honor.
Huawei’s brand-new flagship SUN2000-506KTL smart string inverter is the world’s first commercially deployed string inverter with a power rating above 500 kW. It delivers substantial upgrades in power and voltage compared with its predecessor, the SUN2000-330KTL, and pioneers three groundbreaking industry innovations: the world’s first string inverter supporting 1000 Vac, the world’s first grid-forming string inverter, and the string inverter boasting the industry’s highest power density. It brings four core value propositions for customers: optimized return on investment, enhanced grid stability, intelligent operation and maintenance, and superior safety and reliability.
As the flagship product within Huawei’s new-generation FusionSolar 9.0 smart PV power station solution, the 506KTL string inverter has achieved large-scale commercial rollout. Huawei launched this solution across diverse application scenarios in China starting in the second half of 2025, before its high-profile global launch in the first half of 2026. To date, projects totaling over 10 GW worldwide have adopted Huawei FusionSolar 9.0 solutions, favored by developers for lower balance-of-system (BOS) costs and improved whole-life-cycle economic benefits. Committed to technological innovation, Huawei develops future-oriented products and solutions to advance energy transition. By transforming PV power plants from passive power-generating units into intelligent, grid-friendly assets, the company drives high-quality development across the PV industry.
The Smarter E Award recognizes Huawei’s consistent investment in innovation. Speaking at the award ceremony, Huawei stated that this accolade serves as tremendous encouragement for its team and affirms the jury’s recognition of Huawei’s customer-centric philosophy, sustained innovation investment, and deep technological specialization.
Centered on its mission to "Become the green power engine for an intelligent world", Huawei Smart PV is dedicated to unlocking the full potential of solar and energy storage via more reliable, high-value and innovative solutions. Upholding an open and collaborative mindset, Huawei will continue developing premium products and solutions, working alongside global customers and partners to build a sustainable, greener future.
