The world’s first integrated balcony energy storage power supply, the AIO 2400 Energy Storage Power, has been awarded the prestigious Golden Award at the 5th Golden Reeds Industrial Design Awards. The ceremony took place on September 20 in Xiong’an New Area, Hebei Province, where the innovative energy solution was recognized for its design excellence.
The Golden Reeds Industrial Design Awards, supported by the People’s Government of Hebei Province and the Xiong’an New Area Management Committee, aim to uncover outstanding design works from around the globe and promote design innovation. Since its inception in 2019, the awards have attracted over 35,000 design entries from more than 87 countries and regions.
This year, the awards received 7,106 entries from 70 countries and regions. After a rigorous review process by experts from both China and abroad, the Golden Award was presented to the AIO 2400 Energy Storage Power. Additionally, there were five Gold Design Awards, three Rising Star Awards, 45 Excellent Product Design Awards, and 10 Excellent Concept Design Awards.
The AIO 2400 Energy Storage Power stands out for its adoption of the green electricity concept. During the day, when sunlight is abundant, the solar panels generate electricity to fully charge the AIO 2400. As the sun sets, the AIO 2400 automatically powers the home’s load. Its self-heating function allows it to operate normally even at temperatures as low as -20°C, making it suitable for placement on balconies, living rooms, or gardens in any weather condition.
The AIO 2400 Energy Storage Power is not just a technological marvel but also a testament to the commitment of designers and engineers to create sustainable and user-friendly energy solutions. The device’s ability to harness solar energy during the day and distribute it efficiently at night makes it an ideal choice for urban environments where space is limited.
The award ceremony was part of the 2024 Hebei International Industrial Design Week activities that kicked off in Xiong’an. Other futuristic and technologically advanced winning entries, such as the VirtX Virtual Haptic Costume and the High-Adaptability Heavy-Duty Wall-Climbing Robot, drew significant attention from visitors at the New Power exhibition area.
The AIO 2400 Energy Storage Power’s win at the Golden Reeds Industrial Design Awards highlights the growing importance of sustainable energy solutions and the role of innovative design in addressing global energy challenges. The awards serve as a platform to showcase cutting-edge designs that have the potential to transform industries and improve the quality of life.
The recognition of the AIO 2400 Energy Storage Power at the Golden Reeds Awards is a significant achievement for the team behind this innovative product, said a representative from the company. It not only validates our efforts in creating sustainable energy solutions but also encourages us to continue pushing the boundaries of design and technology.
The success of the AIO 2400 Energy Storage Power and other award-winning designs at the Golden Reeds Industrial Design Awards underscores the potential of design innovation to drive sustainable development and address the challenges of the future. As the world continues to grapple with energy security and environmental concerns, such groundbreaking designs offer hope and a path forward.
