Is Europe's renewable energy market hitting a bottleneck?
That growing need was on full display at Solar Solutions Amsterdam 2026, where batteries and integrated systems took center stage. As Nina Groot, CMO of Sustainable Solutions Europe, observed: "Solar panels are increasingly part of a bigger system where batteries and smart controls also play a key role. Systems thinking is now clearly taking priority over individual components."
Echoing this industry shift, iGarden made a strong impression with its residential energy storage system, R290 ATW heat pump, and balcony storage solutions --joining industry partners to witness a new era where “solar + storage” becomes the standard.
Serving as the intelligent core of the iGarden energy ecosystem, the SYNC system seamlessly connects HVAC heat pumps, pool heat pumps, and other devices to maximize the use of free solar energy. Featuring the thinnest pad design and a customizable front panel, it integrates effortlessly into any home aesthetic. The intelligent temperature regulation system allows the device to operate reliably in temperature ranges from -20 °C to +50 °C without concern for extreme weather conditions.
While the all-in-one system is ideal for larger homes, balcony storage has emerged as a major trend for smaller spaces at this year's exhibition—with a strong focus on lightweight, stackable solutions. iGarden’s offering fits right in with this direction. With AC-coupled design, it integrates seamlessly with existing PV systems without complex rewiring. Its plug-and-play, DIY-friendly setup fits small spaces like balconies. Equipped with AI-optimized self-consumption and reliable backup power, it maximizes solar use, reduces grid dependence and ensures essential devices work during outages.
Beyond solar-plus-storage for EV charging, solar-plus-storage for heating has also become a key utilization trend. iGarden’s HVAC solution integrates seamlessly with the energy storage system. Powered by AI INVERTER technology, it achieves a remarkable COP up to 7.0 and dual A+++ ratings for exceptional efficiency. Delivering 100% capacity at -10°C, it performs reliably even in cold climates. Its intelligent AIoT system enables 24/7 self-monitoring, stable performance and safe operation with R290 refrigerant, bringing consistent, comfortable warmth to every corner of your home.
For the Benelux market, iGarden remains committed to deepening its localized services and strengthening partnerships with local installers—bringing smarter, safer energy independence solutions to households across Europe.
