FusionSolar 9.0 was launched in Dubai as Huawei Digital Power hosted the FusionSolar Technical Innovation Summit on July 15, bringing together industry leaders to address grid stability challenges facing the rapidly expanding renewable energy sector across the Middle East and Central Asia (ME&CA).

The event welcomed policymakers, utilities, EPCs, developers, consultants, technology experts, and partners from across the region. Attendees also witnessed the regional launch of the next generation FusionSolar 9.0 Smart PV Solution. In addition, the summit explored technologies shaping the future of solar power and the evolving requirements of grids powered by increasing levels of renewable energy.

Alex Xing, President of Huawei Digital Power Middle East & Central Asia, opened the event by highlighting the region’s accelerating renewable energy deployment. He said the industry’s focus is now expanding beyond increasing generation capacity to building smarter, more resilient power systems capable of maintaining grid stability.

“The Middle East and Central Asia are entering a new phase of renewable energy development, where reliability, grid stability, and intelligent digital technologies are becoming just as important as efficiency. Huawei remains committed to continuous innovation and close collaboration with our customers and partners to build resilient, intelligent, and sustainable energy systems. The launch of FusionSolar 9.0 demonstrates our commitment to supporting the region’s energy transition with technologies that deliver greater value throughout the entire lifecycle of solar power plants,” said Alex Xing, President of Huawei Digital Power Middle East & Central Asia.

The summit also featured a dedicated session on future trends and challenges in renewable energy. Aleksi Lumijärvi from IRENA shared insights into renewable energy development across the Middle East. He highlighted the growing importance of 24/7 renewable energy systems and dispatchable clean power in meeting future electricity demand.

Meanwhile, Dr. Abdulla Ismail from RIT University Dubai discussed the UAE’s renewable energy strategy. He also examined the challenges of integrating larger volumes of renewable generation into the national grid.

Nofel Dakhel from SJ Group presented Oman’s renewable energy roadmap. He outlined the country’s ambitions and opportunities to accelerate clean energy deployment.

A key highlight of the summit was the regional launch of FusionSolar 9.0 Smart PV Solution, presented by Zhang Xingzhong from Huawei. The solution has been developed to meet the changing requirements of utility-scale solar projects. It combines next generation string inverter technology, enhanced grid-forming capabilities, intelligent digital management, and improved reliability. As a result, developers can build more stable, efficient, and intelligent power systems.

The session also included real-world case studies demonstrating the technology’s deployment across major renewable energy projects. Saleh El Haj Youssef from PowerChina HDEC shared design insights for string inverter applications and explained the value delivered in ADQ projects.

In addition, Antonio Diaz from EDF presented lessons learned from the UAE PV3 project. He explained how Huawei’s string inverter architecture improves plant performance, simplifies system design, and enhances long-term lifecycle value.

Technical sessions focused on maintaining power system stability as renewable energy penetration continues to rise. Dr. Carlos Alvarez from Huawei presented the latest developments in grid-forming technology. These included simulation studies conducted in Saudi Arabia, validation testing in Germany, and newly published independent technical assessments.

The summit concluded with the Third-Party Consulting Report Release Ceremony. Nikola Djeric, Associate Director at Go2Power, presented an independent evaluation of Huawei’s grid-forming capabilities for string inverter solutions. Pranav Patel, Team Lead Solar Technology and Analytics Southern Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America (SEMELA) at DNV, also shared an assessment of the long-term performance and reliability of Huawei’s string inverter technology.

Both organizations unveiled independent technical reports validating Huawei’s grid-forming capabilities and the long-term performance of its technologies.

With FusionSolar 9.0, Huawei Digital Power aims to combine intelligent digital technologies with Smart PV and grid-forming innovation to support resilient, efficient, and low-carbon energy infrastructure. The company said FusionSolar 9.0 will help countries across the Middle East and Central Asia accelerate their energy transition while supporting long-term sustainability goals.
