RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, – The *Solar & Storage Live KSA 2025* became a milestone event when Gotion High-Tech (SHE:002074) globally debuted two groundbreaking innovations: the **All-Scenario Zero-Carbon Solution** and the **GOTION GRID Q 20MWh BESS**. These advanced systems are designed for scalable and replicable zero-carbon applications, reflecting Gotion's unwavering commitment to deliver integrated green energy solutions across the Middle East—directly supporting *Saudi Vision 2030*.  

The **All-Scenario Zero-Carbon Solution** addresses Saudi Arabia’s dynamic transition **from single-scenario deployment to comprehensive, city-scale applications**. Whether for a Zero-carbon Park, Heavy Industry, Transportation hubs, cultural tourism hotspots, or urban factories, this solution integrates carbon reduction, operational efficiency, and cost optimization. Central to this system is its **Digital Energy Platform**, functioning as the "intelligent brain" that harmonizes generation, consumption, and management of energy. This platform also offers value-added services—such as electricity trading, carbon management, and operation hosting—while ensuring longevity, safety, and optimal efficiency.  

Redefining Large-Scale Energy Storage

Complementing the zero-carbon solution, Gotion unveiled its flagship **GOTION GRID Q 20MWh BESS**, a dual-engine marvel tailored for Middle Eastern grids and solar power projects.
