A SolaX release headline prints 100 MWh of batteries in Croatia - the body prints 10 MWh in Novska and 40 MWh in Petrinja, the solar kilowatts are blank, and no euro price is on the page

On 4 November 2026 a pv magazine press release under the SolaX Power byline said AVIK ENERGY TECH will develop the projects and SolaX will supply ORI cabinets. The body names a 10 MWh solar-plus-storage project in Novska, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026, and a 40 MWh standalone battery in Petrinja, expected in the first quarter of 2027. The headline prints 100 MWh. The body does not. No euros, no megawatts and no solar kilowatts are printed. Grid connection is still ahead.

A supplier note has named two Croatian towns and two battery sizes. Neither box is on a workplace meter yet. The note is an agreement to supply equipment. The switch-on dates are still ahead.

On 4 November 2026 pv magazine carried a press release with the SolaX Power byline. The headline says SolaX and AVIK ENERGY TECH signed an agreement for 100 MWh of battery storage projects in Croatia. The body says SolaX will supply its ORI Utility All-in-One systems. AVIK ENERGY TECH will handle local development, engineering, construction and implementation.

The body then names two jobs. Novska is a 10 MWh solar-plus-storage project, scheduled for commissioning in the fourth quarter of 2026. Petrinja is a 40 MWh standalone battery, expected to enter operation in the first quarter of 2027. Standalone, in that sentence, means no solar plant is attached. The Novska sentence says solar-plus-storage and prints the battery's megawatt-hours. It does not print the panels' kilowatts.

10 plus 40 is 50, our arithmetic. The headline prints 100. The body does not print 50, and it does not name a third site. A headline total with two named jobs under it is not a list of what is built. 100 minus 50 is 50, our arithmetic. The page does not print that second 50 either.

The last sentence says the companies will now proceed with engineering, project implementation and grid connection. That is a queue of work. It is not a switched-on cabinet. No euro price is on the page. No megawatt power rating is on the page. A megawatt-hour is how much the box can hold. Without the megawatts, the hours it can cover a given load are not a figure on this page. No street address is printed. No workplace is named.

A battery already open on this desk is the Sibenik 60 MW / 120 MWh grid box. That one is switched on and sells a frequency service. Novska and Petrinja are a different object. They are lines in a supply note, and the page leaves the price and the panel kilowatts blank.

Analogy: an order book with two towns written in and the rest of the line still empty. The town names are on the page. The invoice is not.

Good: A dated release, two towns, two megawatt-hour figures, a product name, and a plain line that engineering and grid connection are still ahead.

Bad: The headline prints 100 MWh and the body prints 10 and 40. The solar kilowatts at Novska are blank. Petrinja's sentence names no panels. No euros. No megawatts. The fourth quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027 are schedules. 50 is our arithmetic.

Ugly: Treating 100 MWh as equipment already on a factory wall. Adding 10 and 40 and calling 50 a figure the body printed. Putting a euro price on a page that has none. Reading a schedule as a switch-on.

Soft next step: write the headline's 100 MWh apart from the body's 10 MWh in Novska and 40 MWh in Petrinja, and leave the euros and the panel kilowatts blank.

Source: pv magazine, 4 Nov 2026, SolaX Power press release on an agreement with AVIK ENERGY TECH. Primary for the headline figure of 100 MWh, the SolaX Power byline, ORI Utility All-in-One systems, AVIK ENERGY TECH on local development, engineering, construction and implementation, a 10 MWh solar-plus-storage project in Novska scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026, a 40 MWh standalone battery in Petrinja expected in the first quarter of 2027, and the closing line that engineering, project implementation and grid connection are still ahead. The body does not print 100, 50, a euro price, a megawatt rating, a solar kilowatt, a street, or a workplace. 10 plus 40, and 100 minus 50, are our arithmetic.
