The Safety DNA: Decoding UL 9540B's Unseen Protections

HEFEI, China, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In Australia, the introduction of federal and state incentive programs has accelerated household adoption of energy storage systems, as homeowners seek to reduce electricity costs and strengthen energy independence. Amid this rapid market expansion, a fundamental question comes demands attention: when an energy storage system becomes part of the home, how does its safety move beyond a promise to deliver reliable, everyday protection that Australians can truly trust? The Safety DNA: Decoding UL 9540B's Unseen Protections According to Finn Peacock, founder of leading Australian solar industry platform SolarQuotes, "User focus is shifting from upfront cost and capacity to installation quality and long-term manufacturer accountability." In this context, true safety and reliability originate from a manufacturer's technical capability and sustained commitment to responsibility. As a global leader in renewable energy technology, Sungrow places safety at the core of its energy storage innovation. The Sungrow SBH Series has now achieved UL 9540B certification, one of the most stringent safety standards for residential energy storage systems below 20kWh. Widely recognized across the industry, UL 9540B evaluates a system's ability to prevent fire propagation and mitigate risk under extreme failure conditions. The certification test simulates a worst-case scenario by deliberately inducing thermal runaway in a fully charged system. Over 24 hours of continuous extreme verification including closely spaced battery units, deactivated active fire suppression, repeated ignition triggers, the SBH system demonstrated exceptional inherent safety. There was no fire propagation, no explosions or projectile hazards, and self-extinguished within one hour. This outcome is not a matter of chance. It reflects a deeply engineered, multi‑layered safety architecture that functions as an invisible "firewall" for the home. Cell-Level Isolation: Containing Risk at the Source To prevent a single cell failure from escalating, Sungrow employs advanced insulation material capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 800°C. Each cell is individually isolated, ensuring that even in the event of a fault, heat transfer is contained and chain reactions are prevented at their origin, protecting both property and occupants. Advanced Heat Dissipation: Maintaining Stable Operation The advanced thermal design at the base of each module enables rapid and uniform heat dissipation, effectively prevents localized overheating and heat accumulation, significantly reducing the risk of thermal runaway during operation. Millisecond-Level Pressure Relief: Preventing Explosion When internal pressure of the system rises abnormally, Sungrow's unique L‑shaped pressure relief channel works in conjunction with strategically positioned vents surrounding the module. This design allows high-temperature gases and pressure to be safely expelled within milliseconds, effectively eliminating explosion risk. Structural Protection: Final Line of Defense In extreme conditions, physical integrity becomes the ultimate defense. The SBH enclosure features a high-strength structural safety latch, ensuring the system remains securely sealed even during sudden internal pressure spikes, delivering an additional layer of protection. As a global leader in energy storage solutions, Sungrow delivers more than just performance.

Hong Kong Artists Explored a "Fortune"-Themed Journey Through Guizhou, Praising a Carefully Curated Spring Itinerary

Invited to mark the arrival of spring, a group of artists traveled through villages and historic sites in southwest China, encountering rituals, landscapes, and everyday traditions along the way. GUIYANG, China, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As spring arrived in Guizhou in early February, a group of Hong Kong artists found themselves traveling through the province, moving between historic towns, village rituals, and shared meals tied to the rhythms of the season. Their journey, timed to Lichun—the traditional Beginning of Spring—took shape across several days and locations, offering a close look at how local customs, landscapes, and everyday life intersect at the turning of the year. The artists, including Natalis Chan Pak-Cheung, Eddie Cheung Siu-fai, Edwin Siu Ching Nam, Priscilla Wong Tsui-yu, and Jacquelin Ch'ng Se Min, were taking part in a "Fortune"-themed itinerary introduced in Guiyang at the 2026 Spring Tourism Product Promotional Conference, hosted by Guizhou Tourism Industry Development Group. During the days leading up to the Spring Festival, the artists traveled through Guizhou as blessing rituals and seasonal customs came into focus across the province. Their journey, which ran from February 3 to 6, moved through a series of settings tied to ideas of fortune and renewal, from hands-on craft traditions to shared meals shaped by ritual practice. At Colorful Guizhou City, they moved between expressions of different ethnic cultures, cutting "Fu" characters from paper, learning traditional batik techniques, preparing matcha, and sitting down to a meal inspired by the ceremonial traditions of Nuo opera. Several Guizhou dishes, each associated with good fortune and blessings, stood out as among the most memorable parts of the experience. At Yunfeng Tunpu, on the outskirts of Anshun, stone-walled lanes and squat watchtowers give the village the feel of a place suspended in time, their origins tracing back to the Ming era. Shaped by more than six centuries of military garrison history and the traditions of Dixi, or ground opera, the setting drew the artists into its rhythms almost immediately. They painted masks, put on traditional costumes, and stepped into Dixi performances themselves, later describing Yunfeng Tunpu as "a living history book" that offers a tactile sense of how China's traditional culture continues to endure. By the end of the journey, the theme that framed the itinerary had receded into the background, replaced by moments drawn from daily life—shared meals, local rituals, and time spent moving through landscapes shaped by history. The artists reflected on Guizhou through what they saw and experienced firsthand, from village customs to everyday scenes that rarely make it into travel brochures. Traveling alongside artists from Hong Kong and Macao, the journey opened a window onto the province for audiences beyond the region, carried not by slogans but by stories shaped through direct encounter. In Biasha, a village often described as "China's last gunman tribe," the artists encountered a set of blessing rituals still woven into daily life. Ceremonial gunfire marked prayers for good fortune, village elders led well-wishing rites, and fortune-seeking ceremonies took place beneath ancient trees that anchor the community's sense of continuity. Through these encounters, the artists came to understand Biasha's tree culture, shaped by a long-standing relationship between people and the natural world. They planted saplings of their own, and as they pressed soil around the young trees, reflected quietly on ideas of resilience, renewal, and life taking root in a landscape shaped by time. Food became a steady companion throughout the journey, with meals offering an introduction to Guizhou's regional cooking traditions. At the Jun Tun and the Miao Long-Table banquets, dishes arrived one after another, each reflecting a different facet of local cuisine. Natalis Chan lingered over a sour soup chicken served at the Jun Tun Banquet, describing it as "refreshingly tangy, flavorful, and wonderfully tender—an unforgettable taste of Guizhou." Drinks, including locally roasted coffee and tart sea buckthorn juice, rounded out the meals with flavors distinctive to the region. Traveling in small groups and compact vehicles, an approach deliberately adopted by Guizhou Tourism Industry Development Group, the artists moved easily between stops, an unhurried pace that Eddie Cheung later pointed to as one of the journey's strengths.
