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...
Solar manufacturer T1 Energy has signed a 437MW module supply agreement with an undisclosed US utility. The company has now signed 2.6GW of solar panel supply deals, which is at the “low end” of its full-year module manufacturing capacity forecast. As of August, the company produced more than 1.2GW of solar modules at its Dallas module assembly plant in 2025. According to...
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...
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...
As typhoons unleash their fury with howling winds and torrential rains, vast solar arrays—those symbols of green energy—face their ultimate test. Can these meticulously engineered systems withstand nature’s violent outburst? From the glass surfaces of photovoltaic panels to the metal skeletons of mounting structures, every component battles immense forces that threaten to dismant...
1. Definition of Independent Energy Storage Independent energy storage refers to new energy storage projects that utilize physical energy storage, electrochemical energy storage, electromagnetic energy storage, phase change energy storage, and other technologies other than pumped hydro storage. These projects possess independent metering and control technologies, are connected to dispatch automati...
When we discuss today's energy revolution, "battery" is undoubtedly one of the core keywords. From speeding electric cars to the large-scale energy storage power stations silently supporting the power grid, battery technology is changing our lives at an unprecedented pace. However, did you know that the batteries that power electric cars and those used to store wind and solar energy, while both ca...
