The inherent property of silicon generally means the higher the temperature, the lower the efficiency. With monocrystalline PERC cells having a temperature coefficient of -0.4% -0.5%/ ℃, N-type TOPCon cells and modules differentiate themselves by having one below -0.3 %/ ℃. This means that, whereas a PERC panel loses half of one percent of its power with each degree of temperature increase, an N-type TOPCon panel will lose only 0.3% or less.
past few years have seen GoodWe gain significant market share across the various industry segments in which it is engaged, signing a number of global distribution agreements with some of the world’s largest PV distributors, giving it a reach now spanning six continents and all inverter product categories. Indeed, in the last three quarters of 2021, GoodWe achieved revenue of US$ 269 million — a year-on-year increase of 65.12%.
igh-efficiency dual glass bifacial solar panels have been installed at 18 Sinopec service stations in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province. The rooftop systems are located in retail outlets and have been certified as Class A fire-proof thanks to their electronic security design.
Trina Solar has published a white paper on tracker compatibility for its 210 Vertex modules, covering products from 14 leading tracker manufacturers which together account for more than 90% of global shipments. The white paper analyses compatibility, mechanical load assessment and impact on BOS costs, with Trina also releasing an online 2.0 version of a matching tool which incorporates intelligent databases of compatible trackers and inverters.
JinkoSolar has announced a collaboration with the Chinese National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) in a landmark deal to deliver its high efficiency Tiger Neo bifacial modules for a 200 MW solar farm, the first solar-powered oilfield to be built by China’s oil giant. The plant, located in Yumen, marks the beginning of a new, greener era for the oil and gas sector.
The plant, due to be connected to the grid by the end of the year, is located in Bavet, a special economic zone on the border between Cambodia and Vietnam, about 150 kilometers from the capital, Phnom Penh.
DAS Solar has launched a lightweight shingling module, using fluoride composite film as its encapsulation sheet. The module weighs 4.3Kg/m2, 30% that of a conventional solar module.
Sungrow has announced a new cooperation with Super Energy, South East Asia’s leading renewable energy provider, to build the region’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS) project in Sa Kaeo, Thailand, supplying 49.01MW of PV inverter solutions and a 45 MW/136.24 MWh storage system.
JinkoSolar has announced that it has supplied 135MW of its Tiger Pro bifacial modules to one of the largest solar-agriculture projects built by the China Resources Power Corporation, in Qingyuan, Guangdong province.
