French utility EDF has received a development consent order (DCO) from the UK government to build an 800MW solar PV plant in England. Located in Lincolnshire, the Springwell Solar project is developed by EDF’s British subsidiary EDF Power Solutions UK and UK-based developer Luminous Energy. The project will also be co-located with a battery energy storage system, however the capacity was not...
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...
Energy storage is penetrating the catering industry at an unprecedented pace! In March 2026, in the underground equipment area of a five-star hotel in Changsha, Hunan, 19 261kWh energy storage cabinets were neatly arranged and quietly operating. This is the 2.375MW/4.959MWh industrial and commercial energy storage system project recently put into operation at the Hunan Rongcheng Garden Hote...
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.

Just recently, aviation history witnessed another bombshell. On August 12th, at Plattsburgh International Airport in New York State, the X1, the world's largest all-battery electric demonstrator, completed its maiden manned test flight. The entire test flight lasted 27 minutes, with the all-electric propulsion system outputting over 1 megawatt, achieving zero consumption of aviation kerosene throu...
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...
