2026-07-21 | Calvin

Recently, S&P Global Energy, a leading international rating agency, announced the results of its 2026 Energy Storage Tier 1 evaluation. Gotion High-Tech has simultaneously achieved Tier 1 certification in both the energy storage battery cell and energy storage system categories. This list is based on a comprehensive assessment across six dimensions: market influence, market share, company scale, global footprint, sustainable development, and financial performance. It is recognized as a core qualification for project financing, tendering, and cross-border procurement in the overseas energy storage market. This dual Tier 1 rating signifies that Gotion's comprehensive strength in the energy storage sector has received high recognition from the global market.

As a globally leading provider of smart energy solutions, Gotion Energy Storage is committed to its "Three Comprehensives" core strengths: full-stack self-development, full-scenario solutions, and global deployment and application, continuously strengthening its industrial core competitiveness. The company has achieved full-chain independent control, spanning from materials and energy storage cells to energy storage systems, intelligent control, and full-scenario solutions. It has established a complete industrial closed loop integrating core technology R&D, product iteration and innovation, and global project delivery. Leveraging solid technological accumulation and large-scale delivery capabilities, the company continues to lead in market position: according to data from ICC Xinneng Information, its energy storage cell shipments in 2025 ranked among the global top 7; its global market share for base station and data center UPS backup power storage cells exceeded 28%, securing the global No.1 position. Its comprehensive energy storage business strength places it in the global first tier.

At the product innovation level, Gotion Energy Storage has built a full-scenario product matrix covering large-scale storage, commercial and industrial storage, residential storage, UPS backup power, and portable mobile storage. Simultaneously, it is laying out diversified technology roadmaps such as sodium-ion batteries, enabling comprehensive adaptation to the differentiated needs of various application scenarios, including grid, commercial, industrial, residential, data center, and outdoor emergency applications. Additionally, at the 2026 Global Technology Conference, the company launched the Qianyuan Smart Storage 2.0 grid-forming high-voltage cascade energy storage system. With its innovative modular architecture, high system efficiency, millisecond-level grid-forming capability, and comprehensive safety protection, it offers excellent operating condition adaptability and project cost-effectiveness, enabling rapid mass production and delivery, and covering core scenarios on the power supply, grid, and demand sides.

In terms of global project deployment and application, several major milestone projects have been successively implemented, continuously expanding the company's industrial footprint. The Lower Wonga solar-plus-storage integrated project in Queensland, Australia, has commenced construction smoothly, with an energy storage scale of 281 MW/843 MWh, making it Australia's largest solar-storage DC-coupled project. As the core EPC provider, Gotion supplies the complete integrated solar-plus-storage solution, equipped with Qianyuan Smart Storage series equipment. Leveraging its self-developed DC coupling technology to address issues such as curtailment and grid volatility, the project is expected to meet the annual electricity needs of 126,000 households upon completion. Furthermore, the company has achieved strategic breakthroughs in the Middle East and African markets simultaneously. Gotion, in collaboration with China Energy Engineering Group, UAE's AMEA Power, and Egyptian authorities, has signed a new energy cooperation agreement to build two independent energy storage power stations with a total capacity of 1.5 GWh, alongside plans for a 3 GWh localized battery production base in Egypt.

From full-stack self-development and high-end product innovation to the deployment and delivery of multiple global energy storage projects, Gotion has completely established a value-closed loop across the entire energy storage industry chain. This dual-category Tier 1 certification is a strong endorsement from the international market for Gotion's full-chain capabilities. It will serve as a core passport for the company to expand into the high-end global energy storage market, continuously empowering the construction of a global clean energy system.
