Industry Updates

Trina Solar Chairman Gao Jifan discussed innovations in energy technologies and the development path for the PV industry with international organizations and manufacturers at last week’s BloombergNEF summit in Shanghai.

DNV has published a review of GoodWe’s MT and HT series inverter technology, recognizing the company’s status as a well established, bankable player in the power conversion product sector.

al Sales & Marketing, Dennis She, participating on a panel of experts discussing prospects for post pandemic EU-China economic cooperation, where he gave insights on energy transition, climate change and technological innovation.

JinkoSolar has published a white paper on its N-Type TOPCon module, the first in the industry to expand on the technical and application scenario direction for the post-PERC era, seeking to provide guidelines for the development of the next-generation mainstream TOPCon technology.

wholesaler Blue Sun Group. The stand-out performer has been the company’s 22-percent efficient N-type 166mm wafer based module for the rooftop market, available in several configurations up to 370W. Backed by an industry-leading 30-year warranty covering both power output and panel construction, the N-type panel delivers long-term reliability with a unique tiling ribbon architecture that outperforms conventional panel yield in real-world conditions such as partial shading and high temperatures.

Southeast Asia is steadily decarbonizing its energy sources and phasing out its reliance on coal power, with substantial investments being made to support renewable energy infrastructure, especially large-scale projects. The target for the ASEAN region is to achieve a 23% share of renewable energy use by 2025, which would be based on 35GW-40GW of new installations.

Antaisolar has announced an agreement with Dingjing Combine to provide up to 100MW of racking for distributed projects in China.

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.
