China's Solar Giants: Prices Near Bottom, Production Rises
China's solar panel giants, Jinko and Trina, believe that prices for solar panels have hit rock bottom and are unlikely to fall further. The current slump in prices is seen as "irrational" by Jinko Solar Co. Chairman Li Xiande, who stated that there is only a small probability that it will continue. The oversupply of solar panels in the market has led to record low prices and squeezed profit margins for manufacturers.Despite the challenges, Jinko is optimistic about a rebound in global demand for solar panels, expecting a 20% increase this year. The company has already ramped up production in the second quarter and is operating its most advanced production lines at high rates. Trina Chairman Gao Jifan also noted that there is limited room for further decline in solar module prices. China, the world's largest solar market, is facing grid constraints that may impact new installations, with March installations down 32% from the previous year.

China Hydro Titan Will Include Wind and Solar as Dam Prospects Cool
China Three Gorges Corp., the world's largest hydropower firm, is adding wind and also solar capacity under plans to expand its business as the age of mega-dam projects discolors. The state-owned firm currently has capability to create concerning 26 gigawatts of electrical power utilizing solar panels or wind generators, according to a statement, from 16 gigawatts in 2020. It aims to strike a target of 70 to 80 gigawatts by 2025. China is likely to see zero development in power generation from hydroelectric plants this year, while solar and also wind jump as high as 30%, Bloomberg Knowledge experts consisting of Chia Chen wrote in a Monday note. There are additionally restricted alternatives for major hydro growths, with the majority of the simplest places already utilized and costs of competing power sources decreasing much faster. Three Gorges operates numerous of the biggest global hydro projects, consisting of the Baihetan and Wudongde mega-dams in China's southwest, as well as said the modern technology made up around 70% of its complete 2021 generation capability of 104 gigawatts. Under the plans to expand its portfolio, the firm in December accepted three new overseas wind power advancements in Guangdong province, agreed a deal for assets in Spain and also has studied the possible procurement of renewables projects in Mexico.

China's Solar Surge Slows: Grid Struggles to Keep Up
China's rapid growth in solar installations has slowed down in the first quarter of this year, with only 45.7 gigawatts of photovoltaic panels being installed. This is a significant decrease compared to the 154% surge seen in the same quarter of 2023. The country, which added a record 217 gigawatts of solar panels last year, is expected to install as much as 220 gigawatts this year, driven mainly by utility-scale projects in the country's interior deserts.The slowdown in solar growth is attributed to grid challenges, as the infrastructure struggles to transmit clean power from less-populated inland areas to consumption centers. Rooftop solar installations in urban areas are also facing grid issues, leading to a decrease in the utilization of solar power. The government is working to bolster grids and meet its decarbonization goals by enabling the grid to connect 500 gigawatts of small-scale renewables by 2025 and building more high-voltage long-distance power lines. What factors are contributing to China's slowdown in solar installations? Factors contributing to China's slowdown in solar installations: Grid challenges: The country's infrastructure is struggling to transmit clean power from less-populated inland areas to consumption centers, leading to a decrease in the utilization of solar power. Rooftop solar grid issues: Urban areas are facing challenges with grid connections for rooftop solar installations, further hindering the growth of solar energy in China. Government initiatives: To address grid challenges and meet decarbonization goals, the government is working on enabling the grid to connect 500 gigawatts of small-scale renewables by 2025 and building more high-voltage long-distance power lines. Policy changes: Changes in government policies and regulations may also be impacting the pace of solar installations in China, leading to a slowdown in growth compared to previous years.
