As diesel prices soar and rural electrification efforts accelerate, off-grid solar-storage systems are revolutionizing energy access across emerging economies. A recent World Bank study reveals that hybrid solar-diesel installations have slashed fossil fuel consumption by 70% in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America—translating to $12B in annual savings and 45...
Earthquakes are among the most unpredictable and devastating natural disasters, capable of crippling infrastructure, disrupting power grids, and leaving communities in darkness for days or even weeks. As solar-plus-storage systems gain traction worldwide, questions arise about their vulnerability to seismic events—and, more importantly, their potential to serve as lifelines during recovery. ...
On the same day, Hainan Province's first distributed "channel surface" photovoltaic project, Hainan Huadian Lingshui 59.9MW distributed photovoltaic power generation project, was connected to the grid for power generation. The project was invested by Huadian (Lingshui) New Energy Co., Ltd. and innovatively adopted a combination of photovoltaic power generation and canal resource utilization, that ...
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...
On May 25, the National New Energy Storage Pilot Demonstration Project - Southern Power Grid Baochi Energy Storage Station was put into operation in Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan. This is the first large-scale lithium-sodium hybrid energy storage station in China, which realizes the "one-station application" of various new grid-building energy storage technologies, while ensuring the stable access of...
GameChange Solar, a US tracking bracket manufacturer, announced plans to double the capacity of its module manufacturing plant in Saudi Arabia to 6GW. The plant currently produces Genius Tracker system components for large ground projects, and the company expects to complete the expansion in September this year. The company said the expansion was due to significant growth in market d...
