The company cited sub-20-millisecond switching technology, more than 300 global microgrid projects and nearly 3.5 GWh of planned capacity in Latvia and Moldova.
StarCharge said it was named the 2026 No. 1 Microgrid Brand at the fifth GGII Energy Storage Industry Summit and Energy Storage Top Brand Awards, a recognition the company said reflects its performance in technology innovation, product competitiveness, commercial deployment and market reputation. The Changzhou-based integrated energy solutions provider said its microgrid platform combines smart charging, scenario-based microgrids and virtual power plants (systems that aggregate distributed energy resources) to manage generation, storage, dispatch, consumption and electricity trading. The company said it serves more than 300 application scenarios across factories, industrial parks, solar-storage-charging sites, mining operations, communities, islands and off-grid locations. Its offerings include grid-connected, off-grid and grid-forming systems, supported by proprietary control algorithms and energy management software. StarCharge highlighted its photovoltaic and energy storage microgrid system as a core technology, saying it supports seamless transitions between grid-connected and off-grid operation through a static transfer switch, a proprietary power conversion system and a microgrid central controller. The architecture enables switching in sub-20 milliseconds versus a typical industry time of about 50 milliseconds, which the company said helps preserve power continuity in weak or unstable grids and limit outage-related production losses. StarCharge said it has deployed more than 300 microgrid projects globally and has appeared on BloombergNEF's Tier 1 energy storage manufacturer list for multiple consecutive quarters. In China, it said it has delivered integrated solar-storage-charging projects, low-carbon industrial parks and vehicle-to-grid (sending EV power back to the grid) applications. Overseas, it said it signed strategic energy storage agreements with energy companies in Latvia and Moldova totaling nearly 3.5 GWh of planned capacity. The company said it plans to keep investing in microgrid and virtual power plant technologies while expanding its global project and service network.
