StarCharge Named No. 1 Microgrid Brand at 2026 GGII Energy Storage Industry Summit
StarCharge, a provider of integrated energy solutions, has been recognized as the 2026 No. 1 Microgrid Brand at the fifth GGII Energy Storage Industry Summit and Energy Storage Top Brand Awards. This accolade reflects the company’s strengths in technology innovation, product competitiveness, commercial deployment, and market reputation.
With over a decade of experience in electric vehicle (EV) charging and energy services, StarCharge has developed an integrated platform that connects smart charging with scenario-based microgrids and virtual power plants. This platform efficiently coordinates energy generation, storage, dispatch, consumption, and electricity trading.
StarCharge's microgrid solutions span more than 300 application scenarios, including factories, industrial parks, solar-storage-charging sites, mining operations, communities, islands, and off-grid locations. The company's offerings encompass grid-connected, off-grid, and grid-forming systems, all supported by proprietary control algorithms and energy management software.
A notable technology contributing to the award is StarCharge's photovoltaic and energy storage microgrid system, which allows for seamless transitions between grid-connected and off-grid operation. This system features a static transfer switch, a proprietary power conversion system, and a microgrid central controller, enabling switching in under 20 milliseconds, compared to the industry standard of about 50 milliseconds. It is designed to ensure power continuity in weak or unstable grid conditions and mitigate production losses due to outages.
StarCharge has successfully implemented over 300 microgrid projects globally and has been recognized in BloombergNEF's Tier 1 energy storage manufacturer list for several consecutive quarters. Domestically in China, the company has executed integrated solar-storage-charging projects and low-carbon industrial parks, in addition to vehicle-to-grid applications. On the international stage, it has established strategic energy storage agreements with companies in Latvia and Moldova, targeting a combined capacity of nearly 3.5 GWh.
The company offers comprehensive services that include site assessment, system design, hardware and software integration, commissioning, and operational optimization. StarCharge plans to continue its investment in microgrid and virtual power plant technologies while expanding its global project and service network.
