Sany Silicon recently rolled out the 1st ingot from its Shuozhou facility (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
‘Technical Requirements for Desert Photovoltaic Power Stations’ drafted by CGN New Energy officially released: China’s State Administration for Market Regulation (National Standardization Administration Committee) issued and approved 583 recommended national standards including “Public Information Graphical Symbols Part 1: Universal Symbols” and 6 national standard modification orders. The “Technical Requirements for Desert Photovoltaic Power Stations” drafted by CGN New Energy was officially released as a national standard. The standard applies to PV power stations built in the desert and stipulates technical requirements for equipment selection, configuration, installation and acceptance, operation & maintenance. At present, there are no special technical standards for desert PV applications in China or elsewhere. To be officially implemented from January 1, 2024, this standard systematically puts forward the technical requirements for desert PV power stations for the first time, filling the gap in technical standards in this field.
Jinenu Solar starts construction on 3 GW high-efficiency PV module facility in Yuexi base: Customized producer of photovoltaic modules Jinenu Solar has announced that it has started construction on the 3 GW high-efficiency PV module fab at its Yuexi Base. This is the company’s 6th manufacturing base. The company is investing a total of RMB 1.1 billion ($150.1 million) in the 150-acre facility, which is expected to start operations in March 2024. In September, Jinenu Solar had announced that it had started construction on its 3 GW module fab in Hexian Base (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
