On April 15, the Future Investment Initiative Institute (FII) organized a series of online events on the topic of “The Neo-Renaissance: Mobilizing ESG for a Sustainable Future”. This event brought together leaders from all walks of life to discuss ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) issues. Mr. Li Zhenguo, LONGi Founder and President, was invited to attend the opening ceremony and share his experience.

GoodWe has announced a partnership with Israel’s Ledico Green Energy.

LONGi, the world leading solar technology company, has announced a cooperation with PowerField, its partner in the Netherlands, to deploy 15.49MW of its Hi-MO 4 modules at Ter Apelkanaal, one of three production locations of the Dutch potato starch producer Royal Avebe. As a result of a joint collaboration between Royal Avebe and PowerField, a 10-hectare park has been built and, exclusively equipped with over 34,000 LONGi modules, was connected to the grid earlier this month.

In solar PV systems, circuit breaker selection is something that is easily overlooked and time should be taken to select the correct solution. If the circuit breaker is not appropriate, it will cause frequent tripping of equipment, overheating damage and even system fire. In this Solis article, we discuss how to select circuit breakers in photovoltaic systems.

The distributed module market has developed rapidly from the beginning of this year and Trina Solar 's 210mm Vertex distributed modules are experiencing strong demand. The following are detailed answers to several questions raised recently.

Trina Solar has announced the official worldwide launch of the Agile 1P dual row tracker. It is fully compatible with ultra-high power modules ranging from 400W to 670W+, with the Agile series becoming the latest member of the TrinaTracker portfolio after the launch of the Vanguard series in December. TrinaTracker’s global installation capacity has now exceeded 5 GW, with 8 GW of annual production capacity in 2021.

The PV assembly line, equipped to produce modules based on the latest technology, has an annual capacity of 100MW, soon to be increased to 200MW.

Growatt is now offering its MIN 7-10KTL-X new generation high power single-phase inverter in Brazil. It has been developed to meet the requirements of larger residential solar PV systems and is another example of the company tailoring its products to the specific needs of the Brazilian market, following last year’s addition of the MAC 15-36KTL3-XL inverter to its portfolio for the country.

An increasing number of German homeowners are investing in battery storage when installing solar PV systems on their roofs. To meet this demand, Growatt has launched its three-phase PV and storage solution in the country, providing a wide range of power and storage capacity.

The China Photovoltaic Industry Association (CPIA) recently published its latest guidance report, the “Photovoltaic Industry Development Roadmap 2020”, in which it provided professional suggestions for both the Chinese government and all industry players on key concerns, including market trends and future technologies. Thinner wafers and two possible next generation cell technologies, TOPCon and HJT, were identified, analyzed and discussed as a major area of focus due to their importance to the industry.
