Ancai Hi-Tech to expand solar glass capacity: Solar glass producer Henan Ancai Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. plans to raise up to RMB 1.2 billion ($185 million) in the form of non-public offering of its A shares for manufacturing capacity expansion. It plans to use the proceeds to build 48 million sq. mtr. of lightweight PV glass fab for which construction began in February 2021 (see 48 Million Sq. Mtr. Solar Glass Project Announced In China). Ancai said its current installed PV glass production line has a capacity of 900 tons a day. Since utilization rate has its saturation, it plans to expand the capacity with the 48 million sq. mtr. project (900 tons per day) that will ensure competitiveness of its products.

CGS certification for Sineng Electric: Solar inverter manufacturer Sineng Electric has secured the highest level of CGC certification for its string IV scanning and intelligent diagnostic system, it said. Testing showed the system exhibiting level 4 as the highest level of certification in the industry, according to the company. It explained that this certification signifies highest standards of the company's full range of string inverters and distributed inverters. Sineng added that its string IV scan and intelligent diagnosis system can remotely complete the component health check with one key without physical checking by a human personnel since the system takes 15 minutes to complete all string detection and generate fault diagnosis report automatically, for a 100 MW PV power plant. It claims high troubleshooting accuracy for the product and that it can identify more than 15 kinds of component failures.
