Our partner TSUN wins innovation award at Intersolar Europe 2026

Our partner TSUN wins innovation award at Intersolar Europe 2026 Proud to share some great news: our long-standing partner TSUN, the manufacturer behind the Plug & Play solar panel set that we sell at PlugInSolarEnergy, won the EUPD Top Innovation Award this month at Intersolar Europe 2026 in Munich, one of the world's leading trade fairs for solar energy and energy storage. The award was presented to TSUN for its comprehensive ecosystem of home batteries and balcony solar energy. Why this recognition matters Intersolar Europe is considered one of the leading trade fairs in the solar energy sector, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, and installers from across Europe. TSUN's recognition here in the home battery and balcony storage category confirms what we at PlugInSolarEnergy have long known: we work with a manufacturer that is at the forefront of innovation and quality. A solid foundation: stable battery cells A key consideration in the sector is the reliability of the battery cells used in home batteries. TSUN collaborates with Ganfeng Lithium, one of the world's largest lithium manufacturers, ensuring more stable production planning and reducing the risk of delivery delays. For us as a partner, and for you as a customer, this means greater certainty that ordered products can be delivered on time. Innovation in balcony solar energy and battery storage At the trade fair, TSUN showcased a comprehensive range of solutions, from compact balcony battery systems to expandable battery solutions that can be added to existing rooftop installations. The balcony battery line received full safety certification from Bureau Veritas and offers features such as smart energy management, protection against back-injection into the grid, and the ability to connect multiple batteries in parallel as a household's energy consumption increases. In addition, new microinverters and smart meter accessories were introduced, making it easier for installers to connect solar panels correctly and safely to the electricity grid—a detail that ensures a smoother and safer installation at our customers' homes. Coming soon: the TSUN MAU5000 Plug & Play battery In addition to this award, we also have some very exciting news for our customers: we will soon add the new TSUN MAU5000 Plug & Play battery to our range. We are huge fans of this device ourselves, and it is an AC-coupled home battery that can be easily added to an existing solar panel installation without having to modify your current wiring. The MAU5000 supports modular expansion (so you can add extra capacity later) and is available in a 5 kW plug & play version for easy self-installation at home. It is a plug-in battery that can be connected in an off-grid setup with our Plug & Play solar panel set. Customers will soon be able to pre-order it through our webshop, so be sure to keep an eye on our social media channels and newsletter so you can be among the first to get one.
