Recently, with the successful conclusion of German Chancellor Merz's official visit to China, cooperation on energy transition and climate change has once again become a top priority in bilateral exchanges and development. As leading global pioneers in energy transition and key equipment suppliers, China and Germany engaged in in-depth dialogue in the field of new energy. This visit, led by...
According to data from the think tank Ember, the global installed capacity of solar photovoltaic power will reach 647 GW in 2025, an increase of 11% over the previous year. Combined with wind power, these two technologies added a record 814 GW of solar PV capacity in 2025, with nearly 4 GW of new solar PV capacity added for every 1 GW of new wind power. More than half of the solar PV...
Without a press conference or official announcement, a significant ban was quietly implemented during a video conference in Brussels, the EU capital. According to the German magazine Der Spiegel, on April 23, the European Commission, in a closed-door manner, directly halted subsidies for Chinese-made solar and battery inverters—effective immediately. The report states that the meeting was ch...
According to a report by energy think tank Ember, the Philippines has become the second-largest market for Chinese photovoltaic (PV) module exports, which are expected to drive significant growth in its rooftop PV market. China's PV module exports to the Philippines reached a new record in 2026. To date, 4.133 GW of Chinese PV modules have arrived at Philippine ports. More than 2 GW of Chin...
SpaceX's space photovoltaic story is facing a new test. On July 17th, Beijing time, SpaceX's 13th Starship test flight was aborted at ignition due to an malfunction in four engines. The giant rocket remained motionless on the launch pad. Following the news, the stock price fell by more than 3% in after-hours trading.

August saw two milestones for the global balcony solar market. First, on August 27th, plug-in balcony solar systems were officially legalized in the UK. After years of operating in a legal gray area, British consumers can finally legally purchase a balcony solar system, plug it into their homes, and generate their own electricity. Reports indicate that retail giants such as Amazon, B&Q, Currys...
By 2026, large-format 210mm silicon wafers and ultra-high-power modules (exceeding 640W) have become the dominant market standard. Yet, the drive for ever-higher power output has exacerbated a hidden technical conflict: the high currents associated with large-format cells lead to excessive current loads and surging internal resistance losses, placing greater engineering demands on cell-cutting str...
