Trina Solar has supplied 463.18 MW of Vertex 580 W modules with 210R technology to two hybrid hydro-solar power plants in Sichuan province, China. On July 7, Trina Solar led the standardization of module dimensions, providing comprehensive solutions to support the PV industry's growth and advance towards a net-zero future.

China has unveiled the world's largest Salt-Light Solar Power Station in Tianjin with enough capacity to power 1.5 million homes and 13sq km of double-sided solar panels that cool the salt water for ideal shrimp farming conditions. Similar projects in other countries are revolutionizing the agro-fishing industry with solar power.

Three Gorges Renewables is building the world's first full-scale commercially tested dual-tower CSP project in Guazhou, Gansu Province. With an investment of 4.93 billion yuan, a 100MW molten salt technology will generate solar, photovoltaic and wind power. Construction to be completed in 2023.

Solar module prices appeared to be at a bottom, with solar cell prices increasingweekly and wafer prices being cut by suppliers. Prices in 2023-24 are expected to rise beyond 22c/watt, signaling a market recovery.

World's largest solar plant with 1 million kilowatt capacity connected to grid in Tianjin, China. Plant tilts solar panels at 17 degrees for improved efficiency while producing salt, solar energy and aquaculture - saving 500,000 tons of standard coal and reducing CO2 emissions by 1.25 million tons. Investment in China's new energy sector at $1.36 trillion with high growth expected.

Sinopec is leading the way in renewable energy with a new hydrogen production facility in Kuqa, China, committed to reducing carbon emissions by 15% by 2030 and reducing 100,000 tons of emissions per year. Be part of the future with Sinopec!

CNOOC has connected to the grid its 40-MW onshore PV project located in the city of Hezuo, China. This unique project follows an "Animal Husbandry-solar Complementary Project" model, with a 6-MW/12-MWh energy storage system and racks to allow animal grazing. It is helping CNOOC achieve its green and low-carbon transition goals and supporting local development.

Shenzhen S.C. is investing up to 961 million RMB (USD$134 million) in the manufacture of equipment for perovskite and perovskite tandem solar cells. This strategic investment is set to take advantage of the potential of the technology and enhance the company's position in the PV market. The project will focus on setting up production facilities in Jiangsu province, China, with an annual capacity of 160 PVD, 119 RPC, and 60 VEC equipment.

Experience increased production capacity with the opening of a new high-tech facility in 2021. The new plant will offer 10 GW cell production, 15 GW module production and 8 GW monocrystalline bar production.

China has started the world's largest hydro-solar power project in Sichuan province: the 10,000 MW Kela Photovoltaic Power Station, aiming to provide clean energy to the Sichuan-Chongqing region. China is pushing ahead with its clean energy plans, developing 100 GW of wind and solar energy in Western China and manufacturing equipment locally.

Revolutionizing solar power: Chinese startup to begin production of ultra-efficient solar panels made from perovskite – 50% greater efficiency at half the cost – capable of retaining over 90% after 600 hours of operation. Ideal for building-integrated and space-based applications.

China is constructing the world's largest photovoltaic facility, estimated to cost 45.2 billion yuan ($6.32 billion). The projected facility will be located in Shaanxi Province, and will feature an annual production of 100 GW monocrystalline silicon wafers and 50 GW monocrystalline cells.

Researchers have developed an all-perovskite tandem solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 28.5%, open-circuit voltage of 2.112 V, and stabilized efficiency of 28.0%. Teams from Nanjing University, University of Science and Technology of China and Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) were involved.

The federal government of Azerbaijan last week participated in a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with an abroad financial investment arm of civil design business China Gezhouba Group for the implementation of 2 GW of renewable energy projects.

The Iraqi cabinet has actually given the green light to a 750-MW solar project that Chinese state-owned conglomerate Power Construction Corp of China (Power China) is planning to construct in the south of the Arab country.
