Solar Manufacturing News

The Baofeng Group is building a 1 GW solar park which is hosting a goji berry ranch in the Binhe New District on the eastern financial institutions of the Yellow River in the Ningxia Province. Around 640 MW have so far been grid-connected. Huawei is offering the inverters for the project.

A Chinese research study group has developed a PERC cell on an industrial 180-μm-thick monocrystalline silicon wafer with a typical size of 156 × 156 mm2. The cell has an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.677 V, a short short-circuit current (ISC) of 9.63 A, and also a fill factor of 80.30%.

The South Korean federal government has actually released a new roadmap to support R&D activities in the solar industry. The paper shows the country's solar manufacturing market might be motivated to go with high-efficiency and also pricey panels based upon tandem solar cells.

The Senegalese federal government is aiming to increase access to solar energy in backwoods by decreasing VAT on PV panels, inverters, solar thermal collectors and various other items in an initiative to achieve global power gain access to in the nation by 2025.

Q CELLS will certainly introduce its greatest power and also highest possible effectiveness solar modules to date right into European markets over the coming weeks.

A brand-new research study by CEEW Centre for Energy Finance assesses the competitive advantage that China has over India and provides a suite of short-term and lasting treatments needed for a globally competitive solar manufacturing market in India.

Researchers combined bifacial photovoltaic panels as well as single-axis tracking to improve energy generation by 35 percent.

The United States microinverter producer has now brought its inverter remedy for industrial as well as commercial solar to Australia and Europe. The gadget appropriates for modules with power output varying from 295 to 450 W and has a European efficiency of 96.5%.

According to a British-Swedish research team, the down‐shifting process for solar glass manufacturing can be enhanced via making use of 2 dopant cations that produce no absorption bands. The doping with these substances is claimed to minimize the UV transmission while likewise maintaining the glass free from absorption in the visible as well as near-infrared ranges.

' Solar Module Super League' (SMSL) participant, Trina Solar has actually reported its initial economic results since delisting from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) almost 4 years ago, beginning with record initially half year PV module shipments of 5,840 MW, a 37% rise of the prior year duration.

Endesa, the Spanish system of Italian power team Enel, is using a brand-new technology in the construction of 3 solar parks in southern Spain.

The Solar Power Developers Association (SPDA) stated 1 year guard duty extension had already caused escalated capital prices. Any type of extra tariff obstacles would certainly endanger the Government's '100 GW by 2022' target.

The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has licensed the effectiveness of the cell, which was made with a standard M2 wafer.

SunPower and also Maxeon Solar Technologies completed their strategy to split into two independent entities, while Austrian solar designer Energy BG 1 exposed plans to develop a significant unsubsidized solar project in Bulgaria.

Longi will certainly hold off on added panel output increases past the 600 W+ range until it can settle a number of key difficulties, a firm speaker informed pv magazine. Those impressive issues consist of low cell manufacturing yield, system compatibility, concerns regarding module transport, as well as hotspot-related failure dangers, along with the need for mechanical loading examinations.
