Trinasolar panels for Kiwi agrivoltaic project: Trinasolar has launched an agrivoltaic project in New Zealand’s Waikato in collaboration with Kiwi Solar and Trilect. Trinasolar called it the 1st ever agrivoltaic project in Waikato, and the company’s 3rd foray into dual-use agricultural and solar farming in the country. Equipped with 5,740 Trinasolar Vertex N720W series modules with 700 W+ power and 22.5% efficiency, this project is expected to generate 6,000 MWh annually. Agricultural activities like sheep grazing beneath the modules can continue on site.
Huasun modules in Malaysia: Huasun Energy has signed a strategic agreement with Malaysian solar power developer and EPC contractor ITRAMAS Corporation. It will supply the company with 700 W+ high-efficiency heterojunction (HJT) modules for large-scale solar projects. ITRAMAS currently operates more than 200 MW of solar power projects and has 1.5 GW under development.
Malaysian property developer ventures into RE: A consortium led by Malaysian property LBS Bina Group Berhad has selected Solarvest to build a 43 MW solar farm worth MYR 104 million under an Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Commissioning (EPCC) contract. Solarvest will build the facility in Senawang, Negeri Sembilan by the end of 2025. It is expected to generate 53,000 MWh of clean energy/year. It will also contribute about 53,000 Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) to the market for corporate consumers who seek to meet their sustainability goals.
Origin Energy’s new buy: Australian electricity supplier Origin Energy is acquiring Solar Quotes, which provides comparison services for solar, batteries and electric vehicle (EV) chargers.

AS/NZS tests for Risen Energy: Risen Energy says its Hyper-ion heterojunction (HJT) modules have cleared the enhanced cyclic wind pressure tests that adhere to the high standards of AS/NZS 1170 Structural Design Guidelines and incorporated relevant provisions of the Australian Building Code (BCA). This verifies the superior stability and durability under extreme climate conditions. Under these tests, conducted by an authoritative 3rd party organization, its modules were able to withstand a low-high-low cyclic extreme wind pressure stimulation.
