MUNICH, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Growatt concluded its participation at The smarter E Europe 2026 in Munich, showcasing its latest residential and commercial energy storage solutions. Highlights included the European launches of MINA and MODA, the presentation of the RISE 261H-XH, two EUPD Research awards and recognition for outstanding solar installations. Together, these milestones reinforced Growatt's commitment to simpler, smarter and more scalable solar-plus-storage solutions for Europe.

MINA and MODA Bring Integrated Home Energy Storage to Europe

Growatt introduced the MINA and MODA All-In-One Energy Storage Systems during a dedicated product launch ceremony.

MINA is designed for single-phase residential energy storage applications, while MODA supports three-phase residential applications. Both solutions bring key system components together within an integrated architecture, helping installers reduce system complexity and providing users with a more streamlined home energy experience.

The systems are designed to support flexible battery capacity, simplified installation, intelligent energy management, and dependable backup power. Their modular structures also allow energy storage capacity to be adapted as household electricity demand changes. As more European homeowners adopt rooftop solar, MINA and MODA allow users to store surplus solar power, increase solar self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity during high-tariff periods.

RISE 261H-XH Simplifies C&I Energy Storage Deployment

Growatt also presented the RISE 261H-XH, an all-in-one hybrid energy storage system for commercial and industrial applications.

The system integrates a hybrid inverter, battery storage, AC distribution cabinet and energy management system within one platform. Its pre-assembled and pre-commissioned design helps simplify transportation, installation and onsite deployment. Built around a 261 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery platform, the system is available in 50 kW, 63 kW, 85 kW and 125 kW configurations. It supports solar PV, battery storage, generator integration and smart load management, allowing businesses to coordinate multiple onsite energy sources through one system.

The system can be used for solar self-consumption, peak shaving, time-of-use energy management, backup power, diesel hybrid operation and AC-coupled energy storage. Multiple units can be connected for larger projects, supporting system capacities of up to 1.25 MW and 2.61 MWh. The Growatt RISE 261H-XH provides a scalable solution for managing energy costs and improving power resilience.

EUPD Research Awards Recognize Growatt's Storage Brand Strength

Growatt received the EUPD Research Top Brand Storage Eastern Europe 2026 and Top Brand Storage Netherlands 2026 awards, presented by Yiyao Jia of EUPD Research. The recognition reflects Growatt's strong brand awareness, market presence and trusted position in residential energy storage across Europe.

"We are honored to receive these recognitions and introduce our latest energy storage systems to the European market," said Lisa Zhang, Vice President of Growatt. "Homes and businesses increasingly need solutions that can generate, store and manage energy intelligently. By working closely with installers and distributors, we aim to make integrated solar and energy storage easier to deploy across Europe."

Celebrating the Installers Behind Successful Solar Projects

Growatt also held an award ceremony recognizing outstanding project installation image submissions from PV Plus, Photovoltaik Zabergäu and Ingenieurbüro Ellerin. The recognition celebrated the technical expertise, professionalism and commitment of the installers and engineers who bring solar and energy storage technologies into real-world applications.

By highlighting completed installations and the professionals behind them, Growatt aims to encourage knowledge sharing across the installer community while demonstrating how smart solar and battery storage systems are being applied in homes and businesses.

Die Artenvielfalt von Taufliegen (Drosophila) im Raum Wien ist in den vergangenen drei Jahrzehnten massiv eingebrochen. Forschende des Naturhistorischen Museums (NHM) Wien berichten, dass die Zahl der in der Stadt nachgewiesenen Arten im Vergleich zu einer Erhebung aus dem Jahr 1994 um rund 50 Prozent gesunken ist. Die Ergebnisse, die nun im Fachjournal „Ecology and Evolution“ veröffentlicht wurden, deuten darauf hin, dass vormals häufige Arten durch zugewanderte Taufliegen verdrängt worden sein könnten.

Grundlage der aktuellen Analyse ist das Citizen-Science-Projekt „Vienna City Fly“, das 2024 einfache Fliegenfallen an freiwillige Laienforscher in Wien, Niederösterreich und dem Burgenland verteilte. Die zurückgesandten Proben wurden für die nun publizierte Studie gezielt auf Fänge in unmittelbarer Nähe menschlicher Siedlungen beschränkt – also auf Innenräume, Balkone und Gärten. Damit liegt ein detailliertes Bild jener Drosophila-Gemeinschaft vor, die besonders eng an vom Menschen geprägte Lebensräume gebunden ist.

Insgesamt wurden mehr als 18.000 Taufliegen gesammelt und taxonomisch bestimmt; dabei identifizierte das Team um NHM-Forscher Martin Kapun 13 Drosophila-Arten. Bemerkenswert ist der Nachweis zweier Arten, die bislang in Österreich nicht registriert waren: Drosophila (D.) mercatorum und D. virilis. D. mercatorum ist ursprünglich in den USA, Mexiko und Südamerika verbreitet und wurde im vergangenen Jahrhundert nach Europa eingeschleppt, D. virilis stammt aus Asien und hat sich erst seit relativ kurzer Zeit über die nördliche Hemisphäre ausgebreitet.

Die Zusammensetzung der Populationen zeigt eine deutliche Verschiebung hin zu wenigen dominanten Generalisten. D. mercatorum mit rund 8.800 Nachweisen und die Modellorganismus-Art D. melanogaster mit etwa 6.700 Funden waren die mit Abstand häufigsten Spezies in den Proben. „Dominiert wird die Drosophila-Population im Wiener Stadtgebiet von Generalisten mit starker Affinität zum Menschen“, erklärte Kapun der Austria Presse Agentur zufolge. Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen, dass zunehmende Verbauung und die starke Prägung durch menschliche Siedlungen mit einem Rückgang der Biodiversität einhergehen können – auch bei unscheinbaren Insekten, die als wichtige Indikatoren für den Zustand urbaner Ökosysteme gelten.
