Industry Updates

Huawei has been selected by R.Power Group, one of the largest players on the Polish PV market, to supply 390 MWp of its world-leading smart string inverters for numerous utility-scale solar projects in Poland.

The first 480-watt panel for the residential market is now available from JinkoSolar’s Tiger Neo range. Featuring premium n-type cells, the 60-cell configuration of the module has an efficiency of up to 22.24%. Module efficiency has more value in the residential and commercial markets than in utility PV, since area-related and non-module costs such as labour and process are higher under the retail business model.

LONGi has announced the release of a new module, the Hi-MO 5m 54c. With 54 cells, the Hi-MO 5m is designed mainly for residential and C&I rooftop systems, producing a maximum power output of 415W and achieving an efficiency of 21.25%.

Trina Solar has been recognised in a report by Reuters as a top 100 company in the pursuit of achieving a net-zero emission civilisation.

As the size of PV modules increases, the ability of a product to withstand extreme climatic conditions throughout its life cycle has been the subject of intense scrutiny within the industry. 

JinkoSolar has announced that 10MW of its advanced Tiger Neo 605W solar panels are to be installed on the rooftops of a number of schools in Hainan province’s Dongfang city. The Tiger Neo, featuring the company’s innovative N-type cells, is one of the most powerful panels on the market today, providing outstanding output, generating a maximum 610W from its 156 cells while simultaneously minimizing power loss.

With the Beijing 2022 winter Olympic Games already in full swing, the newly completed Olympic venues and supporting facilities have been unveiled. 

where economies can be achieved at the system level. Non-module costs include ‘area-proportional’ elements such as racking, land, construction and transportation and those linked to electronic components that are quoted in terms of power rather than area. Today, the value of module efficiency has become greater, increasing the incentive to adopt higher efficiency and high power products.

Sungrow has announced that it has supplied its string inverter solutions to the PV plant installed on the rooftop of the National Speed Skating Oval (known as “The Ice Ribbon”) in Beijing. The venue will host speed skating during the upcoming 2022 Winter Olympic Games and the rooftop plant represents a significant step in achieving a carbon neutral Olympics.

With the technical expertise it has accumulated over the past two decades, LONGi is able to fully commit to providing full scenario product protection, ensuring reliability under all application scenarios. Based on the company’s brand concept of ‘customer value first’, ‘LONGi Lifecycle Quality’ was established to guarantee that its products perform reliably and efficiently throughout their lifespan, allowing clients to achieve a high return on investment throughout the entire lifecycle of a PV plant.
