Industry Updates

Testing at the Institute for Solar Energy Research (ISFH) in Hamelin, Germany, has confirmed that the conversion efficiency of N-type monocrystalline bifacial TOPCon cells developed at LONGi’s Cell R&D Center has reached 25.09%, the first time that the efficiency of a TOPCon cell based on a commercial size silicon wafer has exceeded 25%.

Sungrow has released its 2020 annual report to shareholders, showing that the company’s fiscal performance remains very positive, with global market share reaching 27%.

Sungrow has announced the roll out of its new SBR series residential energy storage systems (ESS) for Australian households, comprising hybrid inverters and high-voltage batteries, enhancing the reliability and affordability of the country’s renewable energy solutions.

Sunport has announced that, after four months of testing following initial installation, the first industrial off-grid project in Japan to be equipped with MWT panels has entered operation and begun generating power. With an attached power storage system, the rooftop plant in Nagano will provide the factory beneath with clean electricity for self-utilization.

GoodWe has announced that it has won the AQM award in the residential medium power category at the recently held TÜV Rheinland congress. This is the sixth consecutive year that the company has been recognised by TÜV Rheinland and it cements its position as a leader in the distributed generation sector.

JA Solar has announced that its DeepBlue 3.0 module has received the ‘All Quality Matters’ award for Energy Yield Simulation in the monofacial mono group.

JinkoSolar has announced that it has won an award for Green Module Efficiency at the 7th All Quality Matters solar congress held by TÜV Rheinland. The award recognizes the high-efficiency performance of the company’s N-type bifacial and monofacial monocrystalline Tiger modules and marks another milestone after previous awards for Module Energy Yield Simulation in both mono and poly groups.

LONGi has announced that it has partnered with Green Volts Energy, a developer of low-carbon infrastructure in Pakistan, on the delivery of a 1MWp solar system for the leading textile manufacturer Rantex Pvt in the city of Shahkot.

LONGi, the world leading solar technology company, has released its 2020 annual report to shareholders worldwide, showing continued revenue growth and significant increase in global shipments.

The plant is located near the Yellow River estuary, on 1200 acres of alkali land, and is equipped with GoodWe GW225kW-HT high power smart inverters with 1500V system design, 99% efficiency and high-power tracking density, backed up by up to 168 MPPTs for a 3.15MW PV array. The 30A max current per MPPT makes the inverters highly compatible with both 182mm and 210mm high-power bifacial modules.
