Global New Energy Event Unveils Omron’s Cutting-Edge Solutions
From June 11 to 13, 2025, the 18th International Photovoltaic Power Generation and Smart Energy (Shanghai) Conference & Exhibition (SNEC 2025) was held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As the world’s most influential annual event in the new energy sector, this year’s exhibition focused on core themes such as solar-storage-charging integration and digital transformation, attracting over 2,800 exhibitors. Omron’s Device & Module Solutions Business (hereinafter referred to as “Omron”) made a striking debut at booth 6.1H E770, showcasing its technological breakthroughs across the new energy value chain for the first time. These innovations aim to provide industry-leading solutions for global decarbonization.
Full-Scenario Solutions Unveiled, Core Technologies Spark Industry Dialogue
During the exhibition, Omron highlighted three technical pillars—miniaturization, low power consumption, and high reliability—to present its innovations across four key fields: photovoltaic inverters, energy storage systems, EV charging piles, and new energy vehicles. Key products include:
· G8PC Automotive AC Power Relay: Designed for electric vehicles (EVs) and mobile chargers, this relay withstands high temperatures, high currents, and demanding operating environments, ensuring stable charge-discharge management.
· G9KA Decentralized System Relay: Featuring low contact resistance and compact design, it reduces heat dissipation costs and component assembly expenses while supporting 300A current interruption for emergency safety in clean energy equipment.
· G3VM MOS FET Driver Relay: Combining the durability of mechanical relays with the responsiveness of semiconductors, it operates reliably in high-temperature environments (e.g., semiconductor inspection devices).
A live sand table demonstration vividly illustrated the end-to-end process of Omron’s “solar-storage-charging” integration solutions, showcasing how its product matrix—spanning relays, switches, and connectors—optimizes energy generation, storage, and distribution efficiency. Additionally, Omron’s experts delivered two keynote speeches, “Omron’s Products Empowering New Energy Development” and “Omron’s Products Empowering EV Charging Infrastructure”, sharing insights on enhancing energy efficiency and resource utilization through low-impedance, high-voltage-resistant technologies.
Localizing Innovation to Shape a Sustainable Future
Under its “Shaping the Future 2030” strategic vision, Omron’s Device & Module Solutions Business has prioritized carbon neutrality and digital society development as its core missions. To meet China’s surging demand for customized, eco-friendly new energy solutions, the company announced plans to:
1. Technology Adaptation: Launch high-capacity relays, low-heat connectors, and other products tailored for high-load EV charging piles and distributed photovoltaic systems.
2. Ecosystem Collaboration: Partner with industry players to build closed-loop energy management ecosystems, driving the deployment of integrated solar-storage-charging projects.
3. Sustainability Commitment: Aim to reduce product energy consumption by 10% through continuous R&D of low-power components, supporting customers’ ESG goals.
“SNEC 2025 is not just a platform to showcase technology—it’s the starting point for ecological collaboration,” said Zhang Li, General Manager of Omron Electronic Components (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. “We look forward to leveraging innovative components as a fulcrum, working with Chinese partners to drive high-quality development in the new energy sector and inject certainty into the zero-carbon future.”
From component innovation to systemic solutions, Omron is deepening its integration into China’s new energy industrial upgrade. SNEC 2025 not only underscores its technological leadership but also marks the company’s strategic evolution from a “product supplier” to an “ecosystem enabler.
