As winter approaches, many regions experience heavy snowfall, which can significantly affect photovoltaic (PV) energy storage systems. Snow can cover PV panels, reducing the efficiency of solar energy conversion and, in severe cases, causing structural damage to PV installations. Let's delve into the specifics of how snow impacts PV energy storage and explore effective measures to m...
1. The "PV GDP" market mainly in developing countries 1.1. Market demand and growth momentum Developing countries that are in a stage of rapid economic growth have an increasing demand for electricity. However, traditional energy supply methods often cannot meet this rapidly growing demand, and are accompanied by the dual challenges of environmental pollution and energy security. The photovoltaic ...
Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) said the country had awarded 119 bids for 259MW of rooftop solar PV projects in the latest government tender. Like several previous tenders in Germany, the rooftop solar tender was oversubscribed by 1.7 times. According to the Federal Network Agency, a total of 209 bids were submitted for a total capacity of 434MW, setting a record ...
France has revised down its solar PV target by 2035 from 100GW to 90GW in its latest Multiannual Energy Programme (PPE3). In the latest draft, which is open to consultation (in French) until April 05, the French government has revised its targets from 75-100GW – set in November 2024 – by 2035 to 65-90GW. By 2030, the country expects to reach 54GW of installed solar PV. To reach ...
The Chinese people's "volume" is reflected in all walks of life. In the first quarter of 2025, the ceramic industry faced an unprecedented "price war". Manufacturing is always similar, "Only brand companies are qualified to reduce prices. If there is no brand awareness, no one will care about you even if you reduce prices." According to relevant data, the ceramic industry contributes 1% of my coun...
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...
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...
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...
