ith monocrystalline PERC passivation technology approaching the limit of its conversion efficiency at around 23.5%, with an efficiency of around 22.5% in mass production, heterojunction (HJT) with intrinsic thin-film is well placed to become the next generation solar cell technology.

Growatt has announced the establishment of a joint laboratory with global semiconductor company Texas Instruments (TI).

The company’s production line, with a capacity of 150MW, was developed by Mondragón Assembly and has now successfully started manufacturing its first modules.

dimensional patented spherical bearing.  The document discusses the advantages of the component’s unique geometric design and long-term outdoor reliability in comparison with conventional cylindrical bearings, based on rigorous testing in field installations. The bearing has proven reliable over more than ten years and accounts for more than 6 GW of assembly.

op 500 new energy enterprises in a listing jointly operated by "China Energy News" and the China Energy Economic Research Institute. This is the 7th consecutive year that the company has been recognised for its outstanding performance and cutting-edge R&D capabilities.

Already subjected to a series of rigorous tests including non-uniform snow-load, extreme DML and extreme wind tunnel testing, Trina Solar’s Vertex modules have continued to display outstanding performance and excellent mechanical load reliability by passing another -40°C extreme low-temperature mechanical load test. 

Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau, Southern Power Grid and the Nanshan Power Plant have successfully completed black start testing of a 9E gas unit by using an energy storage system. This is the first project in China to utilize an ESS for the black start of a 9E unit.

With its largest 2.1GW factory for TOPCon cells at the company’s Taizhou headquarters, Jolywood is now actively expanding its production capacity, with additional 1.5GW n-type mono bifacial and 16GW high efficiency cell factories under construction in Taizhou and Taiyuan respectively.

Sungrow has announced the signing of a contract to supply equipment to German EPC juwi for a 36MW off-grid solar farm and 7.5MW battery energy storage system at the Sukari gold mine operated by Centamin in Egypt. The project will be the largest solar-plus-storage plant located at a mine site, significantly facilitating energy transition for minerals in the MENA region.

Having already passed advanced serial load tests, including for non-uniform snow and 20,000 cycles of dynamic mechanical load, Trina Solar's 210mm Vertex 670W module has now passed an extreme wind tunnel test, further proving that ultra-high-power modules can maintain their outstanding performance even when subjected to extreme weather.
