Industry Updates

Maxwell Technologies has released a research paper in conjunction with a number of universities including Nanchang University, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Henan Normal University, introducing findings showing that strained heterojunction enables high-performance, fully textured perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells to achieve an efficiency of up to 31.5%. 

Runergy has announced a strategic partnership with Vietnamese project developer Bigbang Solar for the expansion of solar projects across the country.

DAS Solar has announced that its PV testing laboratory has received ‘witness laboratory’ certification from TÜV Rheinland.  

AIKO has announced the results of a comprehensive report produced by Enertis Applus+, an established global authority on renewable energy consulting, engineering and quality control, highlighting the superior performance and cost efficiency of its ABC modules compared to TOPCon and PERC modules from two leading competitors.

Huasun Energy has shipped over 100MW of its high-efficiency heterojunction (HJT) PV modules to Pakistan, in a significant milestone in its relationship with the country.  

Trinasolar has announced the completion and inauguration of a 70MW PV power station in the Arabian Peninsula, deploying its advanced Vertex N 720W (NEG21C.20) series modules.  

LONGi has provided an update on the status of a 1.2MW rooftop system at Simba Cement’s premises in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, the first in East Africa to utilize Hi-MO X6 modules, showcasing the potential for industrial-scale solar solutions in the region.

JinkoSolar has provided a solution for Africa's largest rooftop solar project, based on its innovative N-Type TOPCon technology.

JinkoSolar has announced that it is to form a joint venture with a subsidiary of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Vision Industries Company (VIC) for the construction of a new factory in the Kingdom which will produce an annual 10GW of TOPCon solar cells and modules.

To investigate the outdoor performance of both technologies, especially in a humid rooftop field environment, an experimental study on the energy yield performance of TOPCon PV modules in comparison to BC modules was carried out in Laizhou, China’s Shandong Province.
