Lumeta has recently been granted TÜV InterCert certification for its PowerPly roof-integrated PV solar modules, which achieved IEC compliance for IEC 61215 and IEC 61730. The PowerPly 400Wp module uses a DuPont Tefzel front sheet and a lightweight composite substrate with high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar cells. The solar modules are manufactured in Suntech Power Holdings BIPV factory in Wuxi, China.
Ready for immediate delivery from SunWize are its new generation Grid-Tie System packages that now feature microinverters from Enphase Energy. The packages contain modular building blocks, along with the Enphase microinverter, in order to fashion one or more branch circuits and a system of any size.
Canadian Solar Solutions and SkyPower have signed an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) agreement, which will see the latter commission two solar parks in Ontario, with a nameplate capacity of 18.5MW. The 10.5MW Napanee and 8.5MW Thunder Bay facilities, which are scheduled to be completed by the middle of next year, will generate around 19 million KWh in their first year of operation and a further 400 million kWh over the following 20.
Astronergy has unveiled plans to build the world's largest single-building solar system. The grid-connected 10MW system, which will generate 9.8 million kWh per annum, is to be integrated into the new Hangzhou East Railway Station in China at an estimated cost of RMB 270 million.
Dow Electronic Materials broke ground on its new Eastern China manufacturing facility, located at the company’s Zhangjiagang site in JiangSu Province, approximately 98 kilometers from Shanghai. City government officials and employees took part in the groundbreaking event.
In a bid to kick-start the photovoltaics sector in the Netherlands, Van der Valk Solar Systems, the manufacturer of components for the horticultural industry, has joined forces with GH Solar. So far, solar progress in the country has been slow, due to lack of a renewable subsidy structure; however the introduction of a feed-in tariff is expected in the near future.
The Czech Senate has approved a new law, which will add a 26% tax on solar energy production over the next three years, as well as 32% tax on carbon credits awarded to solar companies in the next two years. The new taxes will apply to all photovoltaic plants that were guaranteed to receive a fixed feed-in tariff (FiT) for a period of 20 years.
