One of the planet’s most abundant elements, hydrogen has the capacity to be a game-changer in decarbonising the global energy system, writes Janice Lin, founder and president of the Green Hydrogen Coalition
PV Tech interviewed Gary Ye, vice president at KSTAR, to understand which markets the inverter manufacturer is targeting, what’s driving the market dominance of string inverters and the technological considerations for solar-storage hybrid projects.
With module suppliers currently seeking to hit annual shipment volume guidance for 2020, and many announcing ambitious expansion plans for 2021 and beyond, the sector is seeing a shift now in terms of module supply to global utility-scale sites.
Energy storage systems were historically used for grid balancing purposes within Europe, limiting their use to such applications or to be considered as “auxiliaries” to renewable generation assets. However, as market prices evolve and new revenue streams emerge, stakeholders must discover the diverse applications that such systems can tap into, writes Naim El Chami
Yingli Green Energy has revealed new details surrounding its pending restructure, stating aims to once again become a top-ten module manufacturer. But as the solar industry enters a new era of expansion plans, can it keep up with the pace?
Biden takes office in January, but the “whole picture changes” if the Dems can take the Senate. Liam Stoker looks at the impact a Democrat victory in the forthcoming Georgia run-offs could have.
Having topped solar module manufacturer shipments in 2013, Yingli’s next five years were typified by falling revenues and increasing debt. Now, with a complex restructuring underway, Yingli has plans to reach the top again. PV Tech gets inclusive insight into how that restructure is taking shape.
At an event held earlier this month, Jinko, LONGi and JA Solar stated that manufacturing capacity of modules featuring 182mm wafers stood to reach 54GW next year, but even those estimates may prove to be conservative.
