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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
When discussing energy storage projects, the terms MW and MWh appear frequently. Many people are confused by these two abbreviations: what exactly do they mean and what's the difference? Simply put, MW is a unit of power, and MWh is a unit of energy. In power systems, MW and MWh are core metrics for describing system capabilities. Understanding the difference between these two concepts is as cruci...
The international energy storage market in October was turbulent, with intense trade and industrial policy maneuvering between China and the United States causing ripples in the global clean energy supply chain. On October 9th, my country's Ministry of Commerce and General Administration of Customs jointly issued an announcement imposing export controls on key items such as lithium batterie...
