China Solar PV News Snippets

Huasun Energy at TaiyangNews Special Webinar; Trina, CSC Energy & SolarTEQ sign MoU; GCL's TOPCon modules get TÜV Rheinland certification; Sungrow & Central New Energy set up PV innovation lab; Tongwei's new PV Testing Center; Grand Sunergy to supply PV module equipment.

TaiyangNews Special Webinar on HJT Technology on June 4, 2024: TaiyangNews will be hosting Huasun Energy's CTO Wenjing Wang, and Sr. Sales Manager Europe Anna Paskaleva for the TaiyangNews Special Webinar on HJT Technology on June 4, 2024.

This Special Webinar will look into the latest technology developments that not only push efficiency higher but also significantly reduce the production costs of HJT. We will also look into the different applications and markets for HJT, while presenters will show how these breakthroughs are making HJT a compelling option for achieving lower LCOE than competing cell technologies in real-world solar projects.

The Webinar is sponsored by Huasun Energy and will be moderated by Anu Bhambani, Senior Editor at TaiyangNews. For Free Registration, please click here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lOEe2zPPTySPbL0jVchPsA#/registration

Trina Solar signs MoU with CSC Energy and SolarTEQ in South Korea: Solar PV manufacturer Trina Solar has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CSC Energy and SolarTEQ to develop 100 MW of solar projects in South Korea by the end of 2025, supporting the RE100 movement. This partnership aims to empower businesses committed to clean energy by developing large-scale, ground-mounted solar power plants. The MoU establishes a collaboration framework leveraging each party's strengths. RE100 is a global initiative for companies committed to 100% renewable electricity. Trina Solar will provide solar module technology, CSC Energy will handle project development and RE100 demand matching, and SolarTEQ will manage procurement. South Korea aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Trina Solar recently announced that its Vertex N 700W+ series modules have shown significantly lower LCOE and CapEx compared to 182N reference modules (see China Solar PV News Snippets).

GCL's TOPCon modules receive carbon footprint certification from TÜV Rheinland: GCL has announced that 6 of its TOPCon series modules have received the ISO 14067 product carbon footprint certification from TÜV Rheinland. GCL stated that this certification marks the successful integration of its carbon chain platform, enabling traceability from raw materials to product carbon footprint certification, locked in blockchain.

GCL Si recently announced that it plans to launch the GPC (graphical precise-doping passivation contact) cell in Q4 of 2024. (see China Solar PV News Snippets).

Sungrow and Central New Energy establish innovation lab: Central New Energy and Sungrow have jointly established a PV technology joint innovation laboratory. The lab will leverage Central New Energy's expertise in solar cell and module R&D, production, and zero-carbon smart park construction and operation, along with Sungrow's experience in PV power station development and multi-energy integration. Its research will focus on PV manufacturing, multi-energy integration technologies, and intelligent PV solutions.

Tongwei establishes PV testing center: Tongwei has announced that it has inaugurated its new PV Testing Center at the Nantong manufacturing base. Built to CNAS national laboratory standards, the center is equipped with advanced testing equipment and staffed with professional management and testing personnel. According to Tongwei, the 2,800-sq. m. facility includes a testing department and a comprehensive department. It offers a range of testing services, including mechanical performance, electrical performance, and environmental accelerated aging tests for solar modules.

Grand Sunergy to supply PV module equipment worth RMB 539 million: Grand Sunergy has announced that it has signed a contract with PowerChina Northwest Engineering Corporation Limited. According to the contract, it will supply PV module equipment for the CGN Yantai Zhaoyuan 400 MW Offshore Photovoltaic Project. The contract is valued at RMB 539,328,070 ($74.39 million). The company expects the contract to positively impact its 2024 operating performance and beyond.
