SANYA, China, Aug. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Sigenergy, a leading energy innovator, successfully hosted the highly anticipated Sigenergy Day APAC in Hainan, where over 300 industry professionals, partners, clients, and media representatives gathered to explore the future of solar-storage integration. The event provided a platform for discussing emerging trends and opportunities in the renewable energy sector, with a special focus on Sigenergy's cutting-edge C&I energy storage solution.
A major highlight of the event was the tour of a pioneering seawater fish farming project, powered by Sigenergy's C&I inverters and SigenStack energy storage system. This project integrates 6 MW of solar power with 5 MWh of storage, showcasing the transformative potential of renewable energy in non-traditional sectors and marking a significant advancement in sustainable energy deployment for aquaculture.
Optimizing Costs in Seawater Fish Farming with Solar-Storage
The farm, which cultivates the high-value Leopard Coral Grouper, requires precise environmental control to ensure the survival of the fish. This includes maintaining a constant water temperature, continuous oxygenation, and carefully regulated light penetration. With daily energy consumption reaching 43,200 kWh and annual energy usage exceeding 15 million kWh, the farm faces significant operational costs.
Sigenergy's solar-storage technology provides a cost-efficient and environmentally sustainable alternative, drastically reducing reliance on traditional power grids and enabling the farm to meet its energy demands while lowering operational costs.
Addressing Unique Challenges with Sigenergy's Modular Energy Solutions
The project site presented several unique challenges due to its environment, which conventional energy storage systems could not address. Sigenergy's modular and flexible approach to energy storage proved essential in overcoming these obstacles:
- Space constraints: The narrow fishpond corridors made traditional, bulky container-based storage systems impractical. Sigenergy's modular storage solution, which features plug-and-play connectors, was able to fit seamlessly into these tight spaces, maximizing the use of available land, and perfectly fit into the narrow corridors.
- Transport and installation: The farm's proximity to water networks made it impossible for large machinery to access the site. Traditional energy systems that rely on cranes and heavy equipment were not feasible. Sigenergy's modular units, however, allowed for easy installation without special cranes. The entire system was installed in just four days, showcasing the ease and speed of Sigenergy's deployment process.
- Foundation and load-bearing: The site's sandy soil posed a risk of overloading the foundation, leading to potential long-term structural risks and safety concerns. Sigenergy's lightweight, modular storage units are designed to evenly distribute weight, ensuring minimal impact on the site's structural integrity and making it suitable for installation on unstable ground.
- Corrosion resistance: Located just 300 meters from the coast, the site is exposed to high humidity and salt levels, posing significant corrosion risks. Sigenergy's system is equipped with IP66 and C5-M protection ratings, providing robust defense against saltwater corrosion and ensuring long-term durability in harsh environmental conditions.
Expanding the Reach of C&I Solar-Storage Solutions Worldwide
This innovative solar-storage project not only provides the farm with a stable, cost-effective source of clean energy but also serves as a model for sustainable solutions in industries with unique energy needs. By demonstrating the practical application of solar-storage integration in challenging environments, it highlights the potential of these technologies to drive sustainability across diverse sectors and regions.

Sigenergy's Modular C&I Solar-Storage Solution Drives Sustainable Aquaculture
ALULA, Saudi Arabia, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks the official opening of Desert X AlUla 2026, the landmark fourth edition of the international, open-air biennial exhibition. Arts AlUla, in collaboration with Desert X, welcomes visitors to experience a stellar line-up of Saudi and international multi-generational artists whose site-responsive earthworks, sculptures, and installations will engage in a powerful dialogue with the awe-inspiring landscapes and layered heritage of AlUla.
As a premier destination rich in ancient history and breathtaking nature, AlUla, located in Northwest Saudi Arabia, solidifies its position on the global stage as a dynamic, emerging land art destination with Desert X AlUla, the region's first public art biennale, and a key highlight of the AlUla Arts Festival.
The 2026 edition of Desert X AlUla brings together 11 acclaimed artists whose diverse works reflect a wide spectrum of ideas, materials, and traditions. From monumental kinetic sculpture to sound-based explorations above and below ground, each commission is deeply rooted in relationships to AlUla's distinctive environment, further cementing Desert X AlUla's reputation as a globally significant platform for site-responsive land art.
Desert X AlUla runs until February 28, 2026, as a cornerstone of the annual AlUla Arts Festival. Curated by Wejdan Reda, Zoé Whitley, with artistic direction by Neville Wakefield, and Raneem Farsi, its fourth edition explores 'Space Without Measure.' Inspired by Kahlil Gibran, the theme fosters contemplation of imagination within AlUla's natural settings. The exhibition, set in the desert canyons of AlUla, serves as a pre-opening programme for Wadi AlFann, offering a pivotal glimpse into AlUla's plans to create a permanent land art 'Valley of the Arts.'
Hamad Alhomiedan, Director of Arts & Creative Industries at the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU), said: "At Desert X AlUla 2026, audiences will engage with art that deeply converses with AlUla's unique landscapes and rich heritage. These compelling commissions highlight AlUla's dynamic transformation into a major global destination, where ancient and contemporary expressions converge. This exhibition is part of our broader revitalisation of AlUla as a culturally rich destination to live, work and visit and integral to positioning AlUla in the global dialogue of contemporary art and as a precursor to monumental projects like Wadi AlFann."

About AlUla and Arts AlUla
Located 1,100 km from Riyadh, in North-West Saudi Arabia, AlUla is a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage. The vast area, covering 22,561km², includes a lush oasis valley, towering sandstone mountains and ancient cultural heritage sites dating back thousands of years to when the Lihyan and Nabataean kingdoms reigned.
The most well-known and recognised site in AlUla is Hegra, the principal southern city of the Nabataean Kingdom and Saudi Arabia's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. AlUla is also home to ancient Dadan, the capital of the Dadan and Lihyan Kingdoms and considered to be one of the most developed 1st millennium BCE cities of the Arabian Peninsula, and Jabal Ikmah, an open air library of hundreds of inscriptions and writings in many different languages. AlUla Old Town Village, a labyrinth of more than 900 mudbrick homes was developed from at least the 12th century and has been revitalised as the vibrant hub for visitors and residents.
The creation of Arts AlUla within The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) is a commitment to crafting the next chapters in a millennia of artistic creation – celebrating cultural inheritance and shaping a future inspired by artists built be artists. The work of Arts AlUla seeks to preserve this legacy: fuse the old with the new; the local with the international, keeping the arts central to the spirit of AlUla as a place of extraordinary natural and human heritage.
Wadi AlFann, meaning 'Valley of the Arts,' will be a global cultural destination for land art, unveiling from 2028 onwards, where era-defining works by artists from around the world will be permanently sited in the monumental landscape of AlUla, the extraordinary desert region of north-west Saudi Arabia.
