Greenbacker... Axium Infrastructure, a Canadian infrastructure investment management firm announced its acquisition of BlueWave Solar, a leading Boston-based solar and energy storage developer... Uncovering actionable deal opportunities for private equity, venture capital, angel investors, and investment bankers by reading the data, not the rumors.
REC is a leader in heterojunction technology (HJT) solar panel manufacturing. The company, headquartered in Norway, is a pioneer in the half-cut cell production method. REC currently has a panel manufacturing facility in Singapore and caters to the residential market.
The company operates two manufacturing facilities in Norway that produce solar-grade polysilicon, while its Singapore facility manufactures PV cells and modules. REC incorporates heterojunction (HJT) technology in its Alpha and Alpha Pure range of solar modules to enhance the performance of the product.
The company manufactured CSUN and ASUN branded solar panels out of the 400-MW capacity factory in Sacramento. SPI Energy, founded in 2006, is involved with EVs, solar and storage solutions and just recently moved its global headquarters from China to California.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
