Trinasolar terminates TrinaPower’s listing plans
In a release, vertically integrated solar PV manufacturer Trinasolar said that it has terminated the listing of its holding subsidiary TrinaPower. This termination is part of a strategic decision based on the industry trend, and will not have much impact on the performance, the company added. TrinaPower had made its first announcement about the listing plan in April 2023. At that time, holding company Trinasolar believed that its subsidiary would obtain the necessary funds to promote its business through the listing. The plan has now been terminated due to tough PV market conditions in China. TrinaPower, however, will still continue to be an important part of the company's development strategy, stated the release.
Meanwhile, do not miss Trinasolar Product Manager Lukas Ye’s session at the TaiyangNews High-Efficiency Solar Technologies 2024 Virtual Conference tomorrow, i.e., on Day 3. Free Registration on this link.
Trinasolar’s 150 MW agri-PV plant generates 163 million kWh power
In another announcement, Trinasolar said that its 150 MW fisheries-solar plant in Shandong has generated 163 million kWh of power from January to November 2024. Located in a coal mining subsidence area, the plant integrates solar PV with aquaculture and uses Trinasolar’s 670 W Vertex modules, along with a 27 MW/54 MWh Elementa liquid-cooled energy storage system. The plant seamlessly integrates modules, energy storage systems, cells, cabinets, and PCS, the company added.
Auner's G12H perovskite tandem cell module efficiency touches 28.24%
New energy materials company Auner said that the efficiency of its single-chip G12H perovskite crystalline silicon tandem solar cell module has touched 28.24%, and this has been certified by the China Institute of Metrology. Meanwhile, last year the company announced that the conversion efficiency of its 25 cm² large-area perovskite/crystalline silicon 2-electrode stack cell has touched 31.46% (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
CECEP Solar to build PV plant in Kunming
In a release, Kunming Natural Resources and Planning Bureau has announced the pre-approval for CECEP Solar’s Xishan PV plant. CECEP Solar is a holding subsidiary of China Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection Group (CECEP). With an investment exceeding RMB 1 billion ($137.66 million), the plant is expected to generate 350 million kWh of grid-connected electricity. The plant will have 2 sections:
The Shuangshao Community Wheat Field Photovoltaic Power Generation Plant with an investment of RMB 850 million ($117 million), and
The energy storage system equipment production and PV booster station with a total investment of RMB 210 million ($28.91 million).
Yonz Technology's 100 GW fab receives energy-saving approval
Chinese solar frame manufacturer Yonz Technology announced that the Baotou Municipal Bureau of Ecology and Environment in Inner Mongolia has provided the environmental impact assessment approval for its 100 GW aluminum solar module frame manufacturing facility. The company plans to invest RMB 3.5 billion ($492.47 million) through its subsidiary to establish the facility with an annual capacity of 100 GW (500,000 tons) of solar module frames. The facility is expected to generate about 1,778 local jobs.
Microquanta grid-connects 8.6 MW perovskite solar power plant
Perovskite technology company Microquanta has announced that it has successfully connected its Songyang agrivoltaic project in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, to the grid. This 8.6 MW solar power plant is said to be built on unused mountainous terrain, exclusively utilizing Microquanta’s perovskite solar modules. Called the world’s largest perovskite ground-mounted PV project, this solar plant is expected to generate an average annual power output of approximately 9.7706 million kWh, with a total output of 244.2654 million kWh over 25 years. In 2023, Microquanta also constructed a 1 MW perovskite ground-mounted power station in the Kubuqi Desert, Inner Mongolia, which it claimed as the world’s first project of its kind.
