TCL SunPower Global Launches New Solar Product Lineup at Intersolar Europe 2025

TCL SunPower Global, the newly formed joint venture between TCL and SunPower, has unveiled its refreshed product portfolio at Intersolar Europe 2025 in Munich. The launch reflects the combined strengths of TCL’s large-scale manufacturing and SunPower’s solar innovation, offering a wide range of energy solutions tailored for homes, businesses, and large-scale installations.
New Solar Panels and Energy Storage Solutions Aim to Boost Efficiency, Reliability, and Smart Home Integration
Leading the lineup is the SunPower Home Energy Storage system. It includes a modular 5 kWh battery paired with an 8-13 kW hybrid inverter and built-in energy controller. Designed for outdoor use, it can operate in temperatures as low as -20°C and supports energy trading and time-of-use tariff applications. The system also integrates with other TCL smart appliances like heat pumps and is fully controllable via the updated SunPower app, offering users more flexibility and insight into their energy usage.
TCL SunPower is also introducing the M Class solar panel series, featuring the company’s latest generation of back-contact technology. The residential panels can deliver up to 500W of output at 25% efficiency, while the commercial models go up to 660W with 24.4% efficiency. Built for long-term durability, these panels are designed to maintain reliable performance for over 40 years.
In addition to the M Class, a new range of TCL Solar panels is being introduced using both back-contact and TOPCon technologies. These panels are constructed with a glass-glass design and come with extended warranties, offering a cost-effective and dependable solution for a wide range of installations.
The new portfolio will be available in select European markets starting in the second half of 2025. TCL SunPower is encouraging prospective customers to sign up on its website for early updates and regional availability.
Last month, TCL Solar made its debut in South Korea, injecting new momentum into the country’s renewable energy sector.

Hisense G7 Ultra monitor unveiled with 1152-zone Mini LED, 4K 160Hz/1080p 320Hz modes

Hisense has announced the G7 Ultra gaming monitor in China, a 27-inch display designed for high-end gaming and professional content creation. The monitor will launch on September 26, with pre-orders now open across major platforms in China.
Hisense G7 Ultra Specifications
The G7 Ultra features a 4K FAST IPS panel and a 1152-zone Mini LED backlight system. This configuration enables precise brightness control and minimizes blooming. The panel reaches a peak brightness of 2000 nits and carries HDR1400 certification. Hisense has equipped the screen with its Obsidian Screen technology, which reduces reflectivity to just 1.8 percent and maintains visual clarity in bright environments.
The monitor supports two refresh rate modes. It runs at 160Hz in 4K resolution and 320Hz in 1080p mode. It also supports FreeSync Premium and achieves a 1ms GTG response time. An AM driving chip manages each dimming zone to improve contrast and detail uniformity. Hisense has also included a custom halo-control algorithm, adapted from its Mini LED TVs, to maintain consistent brightness across the panel.
Color performance is a major focus. The G7 Ultra covers 99 percent of DCI-P3, 99 percent of sRGB, 100 percent of Adobe RGB, and 85 percent of BT.2020. The monitor achieves ΔE<2 color accuracy and includes a quantum dot film layer to enhance color vibrancy. It supports 10-bit color depth (8+FRC).
For connectivity, the G7 Ultra includes HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 2.1, USB-C with 90W power delivery, USB-A, USB-B, and a headphone jack. The USB-C port supports KVM switching and reverse charging. The monitor also features DC dimming and blue light reduction modes.
Hisense uses a Moon Shadow Gray finish for the chassis. The stand supports height, tilt, swivel, rotation adjustments, and VESA mounting. Hisense includes a factory calibration report, multiple cables, and a three-year on-site service warranty.

TCL SQD-Mini LED Tech Explained: New Benchmark for Mini LED Displays

TCL SQD-Mini LED (Super Quantum Dot Mini LED) technology is the company’s most ambitious evolution of Mini LED to date. Debuting with the flagship X11L series, this new display tech is designed to overcome the limitations of conventional RGB-Mini LED systems by delivering better color accuracy, more efficient light control, and higher brightness, all while allowing for ultra-slim TV designs.
In traditional RGB-Mini LED setups, backlighting is achieved using red, green, and blue LEDs grouped together to form white light. While this allows for rich colors, it comes with downsides—namely, the potential for color bleeding, limited zone density due to complex layouts, and inconsistent performance when rendering mixed-color scenes.
SQD-Mini LED solves this by switching to a single-type blue LED light source, which passes through a high-density layer of upgraded quantum dots. These dots convert the blue light into red and green wavelengths, which are then blended to produce full-spectrum white light. The result is purer, more stable colors with minimal distortion.
Unlike RGB-Mini LED, which achieves only localized high color gamut (often peaking at around 97% BT.2020), TCL’s SQD-Mini LED panel delivers a true global high color gamut, reaching 100% BT.2020 across the entire screen. It maintains consistent accuracy whether the scene is monochromatic or multi-colored. Because each pixel’s color generation process remains uniform, there’s no shift or compromise during complex scenes.
This architecture also makes the backlight more compact and thermally efficient. A single chip can replace a cluster of three RGB LEDs, allowing more dimming zones within the same area. In the case of the X11L, the 98-inch version reaches 20,736 zones—an industry-leading figure. Brightness is another strong point, with peak levels hitting 10,000 nits, ideal for true HDR playback.
SQD-Mini LED also enables thinner TVs. The X11L is just 2cm thick, making it the slimmest Mini LED TV ever. In short, TCL’s SQD-Mini LED is not just a refinement of Mini LED; it’s a full-stack rethinking designed to rival OLED in color precision while surpassing it in brightness and durability.

TCL Launches World’s First SQD-Mini LED TV with Record-Breaking Brightness and Color

TCL has launched its flagship X11L series alongside Q9M and Q10M Ultra at the 2025 Mini LED TV Autumn Launch Event in China. The company describes it as the new “king of TVs” and the first to feature its proprietary SQD-Mini LED display technology. This panel promises purer color output and higher backlight precision compared to conventional RGB-Mini LED solutions.
The X11L series is available in three sizes. The 75-inch model is priced at 19,999 yuan ($2,800), the 85-inch version costs 34,999 yuan ($4,900) and features 14,400 local dimming zones, while the top-end 98-inch model comes in at 59,999 yuan (~$8,400) and boasts 20,736 dimming zones.
TCL X11L Mini LED TV Specifications
The 98-inch variant features a 4K panel with a peak brightness of 10,000 nits. It supports HDR formats including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, HLG, and IMAX Enhanced. The display covers 100% of the BT.2020 color gamut and delivers professional-grade color accuracy with a ΔE value of less than 0.99. TCL uses a “butterfly wing” LCD layer with low-reflection coatings to improve contrast and viewing angles while keeping the body thickness at just 2 cm.
TCL has equipped the X11L with the MediaTek 9655+ chipset, paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The TV supports 4K 144Hz input through four HDMI 2.1 full-bandwidth ports. Other connectivity options include USB 3.0, USB 2.0, LAN, AV-in, RF input, and optical audio out. Wi-Fi 6 is built-in.
For audio, it uses a custom speaker system tuned by Bang & Olufsen. It includes dual woofers, a center channel, and front-firing drivers designed for clean and dynamic sound.
The X11L runs TCL’s Lingkong System 3.0, which features a clean card-style UI, no boot ads, and support for AI voice control, NAS media playback, and education tools. Each unit ships with a magnetic wall mount and tabletop stand.
