Jolywood

Chinese module manufacturer Jolywood Solar has actually authorized an agreement with the government of Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province to build a high-purity, solar-grade polysilicon manufacturing facility as it tries to balance out rising raw material expenses and also push for greater vertical combination.

China-based PV backsheet and high-efficiency PV module supplier Jolywood (Suzhou) Sunwatt Co (Jolywood) believes its latest iteration of an n-type TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) can attain 24.5% conversion efficiencies in volume production, the greatest in China for such a cell design.

Presented at the SNEC fair in China, the Niwa Super module collection has a power outcome varying from 570 W to 615 W and a reported effectiveness of 22.1%.

The Chinese solar maker has completed the very first 10 MWp shipment of 24,700 of its 405 W bifacial photovoltaic panels for the 500 MW Ibri 2 PV range in Oman.

EPC firm Sterling & Wilson has completed its initial solar PV job in Oman, a 125MW DC plant making use of bifacial panels, with the India-headquartered company entering its 10th gigawatt of tasks worldwide.

The brand-new JW-HT132N collection features six n-type panels and also supplies 345 W to 370 W of frontside power outcome, with effectiveness ranging from 18.68% to 20.04%. The panels are made with a clear backsheet, with black mesh and a black frame.

Chinese producer Jolywood asserts it has actually gotten to 23.5% cell performance on the assembly line for its n-type TOPCon innovation. The success, which has actually not been confirmed by a 3rd party, stands for a 0.3% renovation to Jolywood's reported automation effectiveness.

Jolywood Suzhou has been selected as the only supplier of bifacial silicon solar panels to the Oman-based biggest bifacial photovoltaic array in the world.

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.

This week pv magazine was in Amsterdam for the sixth edition of the BifiPV workshop, where the discussion focused on the impressive achievements made by bifacial solar modules and the challenges the technology faces as it moves toward mainstream adoption.
