GameChange Solar, a US tracking bracket manufacturer, announced plans to double the capacity of its module manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia to 6GW. The plant currently produces Genius Tracker system components for large ground projects, and the company expects to complete the expansion in September this year. The company said the expansion was due to significant growth in market d...
On May 30, my country's new energy sector ushered in an important milestone, and the first large-scale photovoltaic demonstration base in the "Shagohuang" climate zone was officially put into use. It is reported that the demonstration base is located in Otog Front Banner, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is built on the basis of the largest single coal mining subsidence photovoltai...
On May 25, the National New Energy Storage Pilot Demonstration Project - Southern Power Grid Baochi Energy Storage Station was put into operation in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan. This is the first large-scale lithium-sodium hybrid energy storage station in China, which realizes the "one-station application" of various new grid-building energy storage technologies, while ensuring the stable access of...
Recently, the IEA released the "Global Photovoltaic Market Overview in 2025" report. Some of the data and analysis in it are quite referenceable. Now I share them as follows. Let's review the data of the past year. The IEA report stated that by the end of 2024, the global photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 602GW, and the cumulative capacity will increase significantly to more than 2...
Researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the University of Newcastle have found that "hidden contaminants" in TOPCon and HJT modules can cause power losses of up to 16%. The presence of these "hidden contaminants" in HJT and TOPCon glass-backed modules in damp heat induced degradation resulted in relative power losses of 10% to 16% after 1,000 hours of damp heat testing...
This has driven up prices for n-type monofacial solar panels and n-type bifacial solar panels as buyers continue to favor the brands of top manufacturers. Both monofacial and bifacial n-type module prices rose to €0.105/Wp ($0.119/Wp), up 5% and 12% from the previous month, respectively, when prices were essentially flat or slightly down. However, the price increase for n-type monofacial or b...
In an era defined by climate extremes, cyber threats, and aging infrastructure, the specter of large-scale power outages looms larger than ever. Cities from Houston to Hyderabad and nations from Germany to Ghana have faced the paralyzing consequences of grid failures—hospitals plunged into darkness, transportation networks frozen, and economies hemorrhaging billions by the minute. Yet amid t...
On the same day, Hainan Province's first distributed "channel surface" photovoltaic project, Hainan Huadian Lingshui 59.9MW distributed photovoltaic power generation project, was connected to the grid for power generation. The project was invested by Huadian (Lingshui) New Energy Co., Ltd. and innovatively adopted a combination of photovoltaic power generation and canal resource utilization, that ...
Masdar, the UAE state-run renewables developer, has signed two agreements with the Indonesian electricity firm PT PLN to expand floating solar capacity on the Indonesian island of Java. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that will see them develop a floating PV project at the Jatigede Dam reservoir in West Java. The MOU follows Masdar’s successful award of th...
Recently, my country's water photovoltaics have once again ushered in a highlight moment. Just on March 31, my country's first three-dimensional photovoltaic sea use project - Binzhou New Energy 850,000 kilowatt photovoltaic power generation project was successfully connected to the grid at full capacity. The project is located in the north of Binhai Town, Zhanhua District, Binzhou City, Shandong ...
