How to Make AFCI+RSD Standard for PV Systems?
AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) and RSD (Rapid Shutdown Device) are indispensable for PV system safety, addressing arc fire risks and emergency shutdown needs-critical for operators and purchasers. As global PV installations grow in power and density, these technologies have shifted from "optional" to essential, especially in emerging markets like Brazil, matching local grid instability and extreme weather.
Widespread adoption requires three key efforts: 1) Policy drive-Brazil can learn from U.S. NEC 2017 standards, integrating AFCI+RSD into grid-connection rules. 2) Cost optimization-scale production and tech iteration to lower module costs, emphasizing "safety investment = long-term risk mitigation." 3) Industry collaboration-inverters makers partner with stakeholders to launch customized models (e.g., for Brazil's telecom/mining) and boost user awareness via training.
With joint efforts, AFCI+RSD will soon become universal across PV systems globally, safeguarding the industry's sustainable development.

AFCI & RSD: Safeguarding PV Systems from Hidden DC Arc Hazards
Amid the global energy transition fueled by carbon neutrality, photovoltaic (PV) power has become a core clean energy source, with global new installations reaching 495GW in 2024-over half from China. However, rapid expansion raises critical safety risks, particularly DC arc faults in PV systems: high-voltage, non-self-extinguishing arcs from wiring issues or aging equipment easily cause fires, while traditional protection devices lack effectiveness.
International regulations (U.S. NEC 2023, IEC 63027, UL 1699B) now mandate DC arc protection, with China updating standards accordingly. YAS's innovative embedded AFCI & RSD solutions address gaps: AFCI uses a custom ASIC chip and CNN algorithm for 99% detection accuracy, zero false alarms, and 2.5-second response; RSD enables rapid high-voltage unloading. Offering independent core technologies, superior performance, and low integration costs, these dual-protection solutions fit household/commercial PV scenarios, safeguarding the industry's safe development and global green energy transition.

Core Highlights: Europe's C&I and Data Center Storage Drive Global Growth
Overseas markets are the primary profit source for China's energy storage firms, with Europe's commercial & industrial (C&I) energy storage and data center storage as the largest, most certain growth drivers. The global market is diversified, expanding across Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
The U.S. faces short-term trade barrier impacts but benefits from "safe harbor" projects pre-2025, with data centers boosting demand. Europe's mature C&I market sees strong needs, while China's policy shifts (capacity tariffs) promise robust domestic demand.
Data center storage is a high-potential segment: U.S. data centers may account for 9% of electricity use by 2030. Storage solves grid strain, accelerates connections, enables green energy, and cuts costs (electricity makes up over 50% of data center expenses). The U.S. data center storage market could hit 120-250 GWh by 2030, offering massive growth.
