RainWise has introduced the ‘PVmet 500’ weather station series for commercial and utility-scale PV power plants, which is said to be the world’s first compact and customizable multi-function professional grade weather station specifically designed for PV efficiency monitoring. The PVmet 500 provides a cost-effective solution, measurement accuracy, and IEC-61724-1 compliance and handles multiple communication protocols for fast field acceptance.

PV inverter manufacturer Ginlong Solis has set new quarterly and half-year revenue figures as the company continues to expand its global footprint and string inverter product portfolio.

Major PV inverter manufacturer Sungrow has reported a significant recovery in revenue and profitability in the second quarter of 2020, after financial figures suffered in the first quarter, due to the impact of COVID-19 on both its PV project and EPC business and demand for PV inverters in China.

KSTAR has launched a new 1100V string grid-tied PV inverter with advanced features to support the adoption of high-performance bifacial modules and energy storage systems (ESS) for commercial & industrial (C&I) PV power plants designed to meet a wide-range of applications.

Microinverter supplier Enphase Energy saw its Q2 revenue shrink 6% year-on-year as it was affected by reduced demand as a result of COVID-19.

Ginlong Solis Technologies has launched its latest hybrid energy storage inverter across EU markets. The three-phase Solis-HVES (High Voltage Energy Storage) inverter has one of the highest conversion efficiencies on the market and is designed to maximise solar-plus-storage systems with its intelligent and fully integrated energy management system.

The operator of a 50MW solar facility in North Queensland at risk of curtailment expects the problem to be resolved in the next few weeks.

On the back of a positive period for Ginlong Solis, the A-listed inverter manufacturer is aiming to capitalise on a new era of solar typified by continued growth of decentralised PV and grid-parity projects. PV Tech’s Hong Wang gets the inside scoop on the company’s strategy.

Nine solar projects in North Queensland have been told their output could be cut to zero due to power system strength issues in the state.

Since its founding in 2010, inverter manufacturer Growatt has been on an international trail that has seen it establish branches in 14 countries and regions including Germany, the US, the UK, Australia, Thailand, India and the Netherlands to serve global customers. Its overseas markets accounted for between 60 – 70% of its total business last year. PV Tech sits down with Growatt’s Lisa Zhang about the firm’s strategy behind its new factory location, and more
