Driven by the "dual carbon" goal, my country's energy structure transformation is moving from land to deep blue. Recently, Sinopec Qingdao Refining and Chemical's all-seawater floating photovoltaic project was completed and put into use. This project is my country's first all-seawater floating photovoltaic project. This "blue Great Wall" standing on the coast of the Yellow Sea not only marks my co...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
In the first nine months of this year, global solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation reached 2109.76 TWh, exceeding the total solar power generation for the entire year of 2024. This data comes from the "Third Quarter Global Electricity Report" released today by the think tank Ember Climate. In the first nine months of this year, global solar power generation increased by 498 TWh compared...
User-side energy storage, as the name suggests, is an energy storage system installed on the electricity user's side, widely used in industrial and commercial parks, high-energy-consuming enterprises, and residential communities. It, along with power-side energy storage and grid-side energy storage, constitutes the three major application areas of energy storage, but its **core characterist...
Germany has adjusted the price cap for its 2026 rooftop solar PV system tenders to €0.10/kWh (approximately US$0.117/kWh). This cap is slightly lower than the €0.104/kWh cap set for 2025 rooftop solar PV tenders, but still higher than the average price in this year's tenders. The average price of tenders held in the first quarter of 2025 was €0.091/kWh, with a winning ...
