A New Force in Vanadium Flow Energy Storage! Hualu Optoelectronics Group to Make Its Debut at the Fifth China Flow Battery Energy Storage Conference

      The dog days, this period of the year when the heat is at its peak, arrived as scheduled on July 22, 2025 (Lunar June 28). In such high-temperature weather, the outside world is scorching, but within the Huailu Photoelectric Group, the atmosphere is filled with the intense spirit of progress, and a battle around the development and layout of the vanadium redox flow battery industry is in full swing.

    Recently, the government has shown great care for the vanadium redox flow battery industry, with a series of policies being introduced, injecting strong impetus into the industry's development. In February this year, the National Energy Administration issued the "Guiding Opinions on Energy Work until 2025", which clearly stated the need to strengthen the research and development of key energy technologies, especially to strengthen the innovation and forward-looking layout of new energy storage technologies, particularly long-duration energy storage technologies. This policy is like a beacon, illuminating the path forward for companies dedicated to the research and development and application of vanadium redox flow batteries. As a leader in long-duration energy storage technology, vanadium redox flow batteries, with their high safety and long cycle life, are experiencing an unprecedented opportunity for development. 

        The "Action Plan for High-Quality Development of New Energy Storage Industry" issued by eight departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in February also mentioned that hydrogen energy storage and other ultra-long-term energy storage technologies should be moderately ahead of schedule, and encouraged the development of various types of hybrid energy storage technologies combined with application needs, and supported the basic research of forward-looking technologies such as new system batteries, intelligent batteries, heat storage and cold storage, and new physical energy storage. Among many new energy storage technologies, vanadium redox flow batteries stand out because they are not limited by geographical and other conditions, the construction site is relatively flexible, and they have good inherent safety, technical suitability and economic potential, and are generally regarded as strong competitors in the field of long-term energy storage. 

       Under the guidance of national policies, local governments have also actively responded and issued relevant policies to help the development of the full vanadium flow battery industry. For example, Sichuan and Anhui have issued targeted policies. As early as 2024, Sichuan Province issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting High-Quality Development of Vanadium Battery Energy Storage Industry", which is a provincial-level special policy for the vanadium battery industry in China, creating a good policy environment for the development of the full vanadium flow battery industry in Sichuan. The "Implementation Plan for the Promotion and Application of New Energy Storage in Anhui Province" issued by Anhui Province supports local areas to arrange new energy storage projects such as full vanadium flow batteries according to local conditions. 

      By 2026, the Group plans to build a new energy equipment manufacturing base in southern Sichuan, in deep cooperation with leading enterprises such as Huawei, Longi, and Tongwei, serving large-scale projects of central enterprises and creating an "equipment + platform + service" energy interconnection ecosystem. Achieving a breakthrough of more than 72 hours of storage cycle, a cycle life of more than 20,000 times, a 20-year ultra-long service life, a 40% reduction in the full life cycle cost, and a unique thermal management technology that makes the system energy efficiency reach more than 85%, the peak regulation efficiency is increased by 20%.

      The Group has invested funds in the research and development of new energy technology and vanadium battery energy storage products under the guidance of the basic technology system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, with VRFB as the core technology, covering the entire industry chain closed loop of "vanadium mine → electrolyte → battery stack → energy storage system", becoming one of the few new energy technology companies in China that can achieve full-chain independent control, realizing the full closed loop from R&D to application, and filling the blank of the entire industry chain in China. In terms of raw materials, "breaking the monopoly of vanadium mine resources and achieving independent control of the supply chain" relies on Sichuan vanadium mine resources (accounting for 40% of the national storage), and signs long-term strategic agreements with state-owned enterprises such as Panzhihua Iron and Steel; raw material costs are reduced, and a green closed loop of "mining-production-recovery-reuse" is formed, with a resource utilization rate of more than 95%.

      Just as during the great heat of the season, the earth accumulates energy in the scorching heat, laying the foundation for subsequent harvests. The vanadium redox flow battery industry, with the strong support of government policies, is also continuously accumulating development energy. Hu Optoelectronics Group, on this track full of opportunities and challenges, will continue to ride the policy wind, and together with many enterprises, contribute its own strength to the prosperity of the vanadium redox flow battery industry, and write its own glorious chapter in the field of energy storage.

About Us

     Sichuan Hualu Photoelectric Group Co., Ltd. was established in 2018, headquartered in Naxi District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, is a practitioner of the national "double carbon" strategy and a leading enterprise in the new energy field. The company takes "photovoltaic storage intelligent manufacturing + energy service" as its core strategy, and constructs an industrial chain layout covering the entire process of photovoltaic storage EPC, full vanadium liquid storage system manufacturing, and lithium battery technology research and development. It has more than 30 core patents and international authoritative certifications (CE/CB/FCC/ROHS, etc.).

      Based on the technical system of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Group has built a scientific research laboratory for vanadium battery energy storage with Sichuan Institute of Chemical Industry, Light Industry University and other institutions, overcome the technical barriers of full vanadium liquid flow battery technology, and achieved breakthroughs in ultra-long duration energy storage for more than 72 hours, a cycle life of more than 20,000 times, and a system energy efficiency of more than 85%. It has also filled the blank of industry intelligent manufacturing. As a core member of the energy state-owned enterprise circle, the Group has in-depth cooperation with leading enterprises such as Huawei, Longi, Wuxing, and Sunshine, serving many large-scale projects of central enterprises, creating a wind, solar and storage energy interconnection ecology, and providing strong technical support for the country to build a new power system.
