The SNEC 2026 International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy Conference & Exhibition successfully concluded in Shanghai, running from June 3 to 5. The event highlighted the industry's rapid transition into a phase of "high-quality development." Trends such as the native integration of solar and storage, the synergy between computing power and electricity, and innovative safety solutions—like immersion-based fire suppression for energy storage systems—signal a clear shift: the new energy sector is moving beyond mere scale expansion to prioritize system stability, full-lifecycle safety, and refined operational management.
Amidst this industry-wide dialogue on high-quality development, CHIPSENSE showcased a range of current and voltage sensors alongside practical, field-ready solutions. By presenting the latest advancements in foundational sensing technology, we aim to collaborate with industry peers on delivering more reliable data support for next-generation solar-plus-storage systems.
Navigating the Era of Large-Scale Energy Storage: Safeguarding Battery Safety with High-Precision Measurement
As energy storage systems evolve toward higher capacities and voltages—exemplified by leading companies launching 588Ah systems and 9.375MW integrated inverter-transformer units—and as the industry increasingly focuses on safety risks like thermal runaway, the demands for sampling precision in BMS and PCS units have reached unprecedented levels. Even minor deviations in State of Charge (SOC) estimation can become significantly amplified during long-term operation. CHIPSENSE current and voltage sensors are also aware of this challenge.
To address this challenge, we highlighted the CHIPSENSE FR1C series fluxgate current sensors at the event. Key features of this series include high accuracy (±0.3%) and extremely low zero-point temperature drift, alongside 7.8kV high-voltage isolation capabilities and CAN bus digital output. In practical applications, these sensors not only effectively reduce over-current protection response times but also minimize SOC estimation errors. We aim to provide a reliable hardware safeguard that ensures the safe and stable operation of large-capacity energy storage power stations. This is also the reason why many suppliers choose the CHIPSENSE FR1C leakage current sensor.
Tailored for High-Density Applications: Precision Sensing for Every Ampere
In the photovoltaic sector, the widespread adoption of SiC devices is driving up inverter power density, leaving increasingly limited space for sensors; meanwhile, in emerging application environments like AI data centers (AIDCs), electromagnetic interference caused by high-frequency switching poses challenges for measurement accuracy.
To address these needs, CHIPSENSE offers differentiated product selection strategies. For space-constrained micro-inverters or high-frequency DC/DC modules, CHIPSENSE AN*V series ASIC open-loop Hall sensors utilize a highly integrated design to significantly reduce size while maintaining low-temperature-drift performance. At the DC input stage of string inverters,CHIPSENSE FRxV series leakage current sensors precisely detect minute anomalies at the microampere (μA) level, enabling early identification of potential insulation faults. Furthermore, to meet IEC 62752 compliance requirements for AC charging piles, we showcased CHIPSENSE FR1D 6 C02 residual current sensor, the CSMD1 & TR3A 6 C00 module, and the TR6A/FR1D integrated module of CHIPSENSE, helping customers optimize structural design and reduce costs.
Aligning with Industry Trends: Steadfastly Advancing the Localized Adoption of Core Components
During the technical engagement sessions at this exhibition, CHIPSENSE held in-depth discussions with several industry-leading enterprises regarding the selection and validation of sensing solutions. Feedback from the event indicates that a tighter collaborative mechanism is taking shape across the supply chain to facilitate the adoption of domestically produced core components.
In this context, CHIPSENSE remains committed to its pragmatic approach. Leveraging our mature technical expertise and manufacturing capabilities, we are actively supporting the validation requirements of downstream customers, thereby helping to ensure a smooth transition and continuous optimization of key aspects within solar and energy storage systems.
Committed to proactive R&D: Serving as the "invisible cornerstone" of the industry chain.
Whether for microgrid control in zero-carbon parks, or energy dispatch within "Photovoltaic," Energy storage, Direct current, Flexibility (PEDF) systems, accurate underlying data is the prerequisite for intelligent algorithms. This is why CHIPSENSE has remained dedicated to the sensor sector for years. Leveraging a strategic layout that integrates one research institute with two production bases—located in Beijing, Tianjin, and Zhuhai—CHIPSENSE strive for continuous breakthroughs in core technologies. Our products have secured multiple certifications, including UL, CE, TÜV, RoHS, and REACH, and are progressively replacing imported solutions in sectors such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and EV charging infrastructure. CHIPSENSE current sensors have received high praise from many customers.
SNEC2026 has concluded, yet the industry's transformation continues. Moving forward, CHIPSENSE remains committed to the philosophy of "customer first, excellence in quality, and a spirit of innovation." CHIPSENSE will continue to craft every sensor with precision and deliver superior product quality, thereby contributing to the steady growth of the global new energy industry.
