Nuclear reactors approaching end-of-life, a sound PV manufacturing industry and a robust legal system all make a strong case for solar PV to muscle into Taiwan’s energy mix. Last year, a new government set a target of 20GW solar by 2025, but the industry must deal with scarce land availability and the threat of typhoons. PV Tech examines some of the huge numbers being proposed and what it will take to realise them.

Leading PV inverter company Huawei said it had formed a strategic partnership with PV project developer and EPC firm, Strata Solar, which will include the supply of Huawei’s flagship Sun2000 string inverters to planned utility-scale solar power plant projects in North America.

China-based PV manufacturer and project developer ET Solar signed a cooperation agreement with the largest PV inverter producer, Huawei as it aligns key suppliers around its plans to build 1GW of PV power plants around the globe over the next 12 months.

Taiwan’s plans to release uncultivable land including ‘sinking land’ for large-scale solar PV projects will require both unique and robust solar equipment, according to delegates at the PV Taiwan exhibition.

Fully digitized solar power plants will be the next focus for improving efficiencies in the solar PV industry according, to Guoguang Chen, general manager of inverter manufacturer Huawei’s Smart PV Europe Business.

2017 could be the breakthrough year for 1500V PV project architecture as developers look to fulfil aggressively priced power power purchase (PPA) agreements.

Europe’s switch to post-subsidy will require an industry-wide effort to ensure success, according to Huawei.

Market research firm IHS has reconfirmed Huawei's position as the largest inverter manufacturer globally by shipments in 2015.

Distributed generation projects are the prime market for string inverters in the US, according to one rooftop developer.

Huawei Technologies decided to enter the PV inverter market, bringing its ICT know-how and hardware to a market already burdened by overcapacity and declining margins. In a few short years, instead of floundering, Huawei soon became the market leader in China.
