Two of the major European solar trade associations, the European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) and SolarPower Europe (SPE), have called for EU policymakers to take measures to support European solar manufacturing. In a joint letter to the European Commission and Ministers of the Competitiveness Council ahead of a solar PV ministerial meeting on 30 September 2025, the two solar associat...
Imagine a world where your commercial parking lot does more than just shield cars from the elements. What if it became a dynamic, revenue-generating asset, slashing energy bills and positioning your company as a leader in sustainability? This is no longer a futuristic concept but a present-day reality made possible by integrated solar carport and battery storage (PV-storage) systems. This innovati...
The time-of-use electricity pricing policies successively introduced by various regions have dealt a heavy blow to the entire industrial and commercial energy storage sector. Take Jiangsu Province, for example, where a recent adjustment to its TOU pricing policy shifted the original "agent purchase electricity price + transmission and distribution electricity price" to a "agent purchase electricit...
Recently, construction has commenced on several photovoltaic projects, reaching a total capacity of 2GW and with a total investment of nearly 6 billion yuan. On August 19th, construction began on the CECEP Solar Muping Phase I 100MW Photovoltaic Composite Power Generation Project. The project, located in Guanshui Town, Muping District, Yantai City, Shandong Province, covers a total l...
Solar manufacturer T1 Energy has signed a 437MW module supply agreement with an undisclosed US utility. The company has now signed 2.6GW of solar panel supply deals, which is at the “low end” of its full-year module manufacturing capacity forecast. As of August, the company produced more than 1.2GW of solar modules at its Dallas module assembly plant in 2025. According to...
As record-breaking heatwaves become increasingly common, owners of photovoltaic (PV) energy storage systems face unique challenges. While sunshine fuels solar generation, extreme high temperatures can paradoxically hinder performance and impact system longevity. Understanding these effects and implementing mitigation strategies is crucial for maintaining optimal energy harvest and storage resilien...
On August 2, China’s National Energy Administration released the PV power construction data for H1 2025. The figures show that over the past six months, China has added 211.61GW of new PV capacity, more than doubling last year’s figures when installs reached 102.5GW in H1 2024. Broken down by segment, installs were up year-on-year, with the sharpest increase from commercial and ...
The European Commission recently announced the initiation of a second anti-dumping and countervailing duty sunset review investigation into solar glass originating in China, following applications filed by Interfloat Group, i.e., Interfloat Corporation, and GMB Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg GmbH on April 18 and 19, 2025. The investigation will examine whether the damage caused by dumping and subsidie...
As the pace of development of the household photovoltaic system market gradually slows down, many dealers have begun to actively explore new business growth points, and the emerging field of balcony photovoltaics has entered everyone's field of vision. The domestic balcony photovoltaic market has received more and more attention and is showing an accelerated rise. So, what are the characteristics ...
According to the Polish Energy Regulatory Office (URE), Poland awarded 1.6GW of solar PV projects in this year's renewable energy tender. A total of 129 projects larger than 1 MW were awarded, of which 126 were solar PV projects and the remaining 3 were wind power projects. In this tender, although nearly 8.9 billion Polish zlotys (about 2.44 billion US dollars) were allocated to purchase 3...
