Huawei: Smart solar can defer costly grid investment

JA has dropped ‘solar’ from its name to reflect its shift from PV manufacturing to a wider clean energy technology and services brief.

Ark Energy has been granted approval by AEMO and Transgrid to connect its 435MW Richmond Valley solar-plus-storage project to the NEM.

Chinese solar tracker producer Arctech Solar signed 3GW of supply deals at the SNEC conference in Shanghai, China, last week.

The Western Australian government has allocated AU$17.8 million (US$12.7 million) in its 2026-27 State Budget to build the state's capacity to recycle solar modules and embedded batteries, under its Remade in WA programme.

Australian NEM solar generation fell 21.2% to 3,038GWh in May 2026, while a sharp mid-month pricing spike reversed April's stabilisation trend.

The opening of this week’s SNEC show in Shanghai was marked by a shared recognition of the need for China’s PV industry to move beyond unchecked capacity expansion and brutal competition, writes Carrie Xiao.
