Solar cell equipment manufacturer S.C New Energy has announced that it has successfully delivered its first commercial, mass-production line of flexible perovskite solar cell equipment. The delivered line covers core equipment for key processes, including cleaning, RPD, PVD, and coating.
According to the company, its in-house-developed dedicated RPD equipment enables efficient thin-film deposition at low temperatures, while the slit-coating system ensures uniform coating on flexible substrates. It adds that the VCD vacuum-drying equipment optimizes the crystallization quality of perovskite films.
In August, S.C New Energy announced shipping what it calls ‘a breakthrough’ in its industrial-grade piezoelectric inkjet printing technology for perovskite thin films (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Integrated solar manufacturer JA Solar announced that its DeepBlue 5.0 (JAM66D50/GB) and DeepBlue 4.0 Pro (JAM66D45/LB) modules have successfully passed explosion-proof testing conducted by TÜV SÜD. The company noted that its DeepBlue 5.0 modules are based on a multi-cut cell design, which makes it the first multi-cut module in the industry to obtain explosion-proof certification. JA Solar Product Manager Djamel Eddine Mansour introduced the company’s upgraded DeepBlue 5.0 module at the TaiyangNews High Efficiency Solar Technologies 2025 Conference (see TOPCon Innovations Support Long-Term Market Dominance).
According to JA Solar, TÜV SÜD’s explosion-proof qualification covers safety requirements under extreme operating conditions. Modules that pass the test can provide high-performance and compliant PV solutions for high-risk application scenarios such as oil & gas and chemical industries.
Drinda, the parent company of solar cell manufacturer JTPV, has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with satellite solar cell producer Shangyi Optoelectronics. As part of the agreement, Drinda will make an equity investment in Shangyi as a strategic shareholder. The 2 parties aim to cooperate on the application of perovskite solar cell technology in space energy systems, covering technology R&D, in-orbit validation, industrialization, and the expansion of application scenarios.
Shangyi Optoelectronics is a specialized satellite solar cell manufacturer focused on flexible perovskite PV technologies for space applications, with technical strengths in material formulations tailored to extreme space environments and radiation-resistant structural design.
On the global expansion side, reporting its Q3 2025 financial results in October, Drinda said it would carefully evaluate factors before proceeding with its planned 5 GW high-efficiency cell project in Oman (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
HJT solar cell and module manufacturer Golden Solar announced that the company and its core subsidiaries have formally completed the execution of their restructuring process.
The restructuring began in October 2024, when the Jiuquan Intermediate People’s Court accepted a creditor’s restructuring application against Golden Solar. As of December 19, 2025, the restructuring has helped the company resolve more than RMB 5.0 billion in outstanding liabilities.
Golden Solar has applied to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange to remove the delisting risk warning triggered by court-accepted restructuring. However, due to continued financial pressure, including net losses for 3 consecutive years from 2022 to 2024 and negative shareholders’ equity in 2024, the company will remain under *ST status, and delisting risk has not yet been fully removed.
Beijing has released the results of its first round of renewable energy mechanism power price auction. According to the bidding notice, the city initially planned to allocate a total of 1.2 billion kWh of mechanism electricity to PV and wind projects scheduled to be fully commissioned between June 1, 2025, and December 31, 2026, with a bidding cap of RMB 0.3598 per kWh.
However, the first round allocated only 241,342,249 kWh across 1,619 projects, corresponding to a completion rate of just 20.11%. All awarded projects adopted the bidding cap price of RMB 0.3598 per kWh, with a contract duration of 12 years. PV projects accounted for 1,618 of the total, with a total mechanism electricity volume of 144,342,249 kWh, while only one wind power project, with a volume of 97,000,000 kWh, was awarded a contract.
