Industry Updates

Seraphim Energy has announced the launch of its new S3 and S4 series lightweight dual-glass PV modules, in order to meet increasing demand for  distributed rooftop PV products.

Only days after setting a record of 25.47% for efficiency of its p-type HJT cells, LONGi has announced a new record of 25.40% for its indium-free HJT cells. This record, once again validated in testing carried out by the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH) in Hamelin, Germany, was achieved on M6 (274.5cm2) full-size monocrystalline silicon wafers, confirming the basis for industrialisation of the low-cost technology route for HJT cells, following ongoing research by LONGi’s R&D team.

TrinaTracker has announced the delivery of a tracker system for a 30MW fishery-solar plant at Gao'an, in China’s Jiangxi Province. Developed and constructed by Sungrow, the integrated plant is built on a local reservoir and uses the most advanced 210mm bifacial modules, with TrinaTracker supplying  its Vanguard 2P trackers.

Seraphim Energy has announced the delivery of 72 MW of monofacial modules to Citicore Power, a community-focused renewable energy company based in the Philippines.

Trina Solar has announced that its 210×210mm i-TOPCon cell has achieved a maximum efficiency of 25.5%, setting a world record for the 23rd time, with the figure certified by China’s National Institute of Metrology.

Sunport Power has announced that its MWT S-Flex  module was chosen to power a recently installed rooftop distributed project in Beijing with a combined capacity of 3.56MW.

Growatt has announced the availability in Europe of its future-proof battery-ready PV inverter, the MOD 3-10KTL3-XH series, to cater for the continent’s rapidly growing demand for storage systems.

C&D Clean Energy has announced a partnership with the Australian based Integra Solar for panel supply chain services, under which it will provide 100MW of LONGi modules for the Pakistani market.

JinkoSolar has announced that it has now delivered 100GW of solar modules globally, becoming the first company to achieve this milestone. As of today, approximately one out of every ten modules installed in the world has been produced by JinkoSolar.

LONGi has announced a new efficiency breakthrough for its Gallium-doped p-type HJT silicon solar cell. The new world record conversion efficiency of 25.47% for large-size p-type cells was achieved using a mass production process on full-size (M6, 274.3cm²) monocrystalline silicon wafers, the result, validated in testing carried out at the Institute for Solar Energy Research in Hamelin (ISFH), further demonstrating the feasibility of low-cost HJT mass production technology.
