Nano One has been issued a Taiwanese patent relating to lithium nickel manganese oxide (LNMO) cathode material, that eliminates cobalt from the battery

Sun Da has moved to become the lithium energy storage and electric vehicle battery company’s second largest investor, raising HK$10.3 million for the business in the process.

‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member JA Solar has unveiled plans to bolster its output with a new cell manufacturing facility and module production plant.

The current year is finishing positively for the American EV pioneer, bringing it a share price growth and a new investment in its outside-US manufacturing facility.

JA Solar will supply high-efficiency modules to the Huanghe Hydropower project. JA won the bid to supply the modules to the ultra-high project China based transmission project.

The state-owned electricity utility firm is careful in its selection of solar initiative assets it hopes to buy.

China has transitioned to auctions from the feed-in tariff system. These changes have resulted in a decrease in installations throughout the country.

The Chinese manufacturer’s roadmap for its new module technology includes plans to raise panel output to 500 W. The Tiger modules are said to be fully compatible with the company’s existing module encapsulation processes and equipment.

Huanghe Hydropower Development has started work on the first phase of a huge renewable energy project which will eventually feature 10 GW of solar generation capacity along with 5 GW of wind and 1 GW of concentrating solar power. Trina will supply 600 MW of modules to the first phase of the facility.

The PV manufacturer declared the development of the new solar panels, which comprise new M12 series monocrystalline wafers, in a summit on Thursday in the Chinese city of Ningbo. The 50-cell modules are in fact slightly larger than 72-cell designs with 156.75 millimeter wafers, it stated.

German high-end auto giant BMW said Wednesday it had struck a deal with a Chinese supplier covering all of its own lithium needs for electric car batteries for the forthcoming five years.

According to a new study by Finland’s LUT University, solar PV consumes between 2% and 15% of the water that coal and nuclear power plants use to produce just 1 MWh of output; for wind, this percentage ranges from 0.1% to 14%. Under the researchers’ best policy scenario, water consumption could be reduced by 75.1% by 2030, compared to 2015 levels.

Chinese module manufacturer is stepping up its prowess with 314 MW of new high-efficiency Tiger modules being released to the market.

Singyes is willing to bring its unsuccessful 2-year-long period to an end. The solar manufacturer and developer now belongs to Shuifa Group, and is going to rename the company correspondingly.
