Product Launch

Lyon, France – October 01, 2026 -- TCL SunPower has opened order books across Europe for its X5 industrial hybrid energy storage system, a factory-assembled unit the company says cuts last-mile transport and installation costs by up to 60% compared with site-built systems.

Factory-assembled cabinet eliminates on-site inverter installation

The X5 integrates a 50kW hybrid inverter directly inside the cabinet, arriving pre-wired rather than requiring separate transport, mounting and wiring of inverter components on site. The base unit is rated at 50kWh/100kWh and scales to 400kWh by paralleling up to four units, letting sites expand capacity without replacing hardware.
