China Solar PV News Snippets

Huasun HJT modules monitoring results out; Trina's Qinghai fab first phase put into operation; JinkoSolar compares TOPCon and PERC cell technologies; UL awards Astronergy; Canadian Solar modules in Jiangxi Gaoan 150 MW floating PV station.

Huasun releases monitoring results for HJT modules: Chinese solar panel manufacturer, Huasun Energy, via WeChat said that it has released the empirical monitoring results between two types of modules. Since February 2022, Huasun Himalaya M6 series heterojunction (HJT) modules and bifacial PERC modules with similar power have been installed in the outdoor demonstration base in Ding'an County, and monitored for long-term power generation performance. Here are the results:

• From February 2022 to January 2023, compared to PERC modules, the power generation gain of Huasun HJT modules under the cement surface was 6.9%, and the power generation gain under the white paint surface was 10.4%. (Due to system failure, data monitoring for white paint began only in September).
• Considering that the average monthly power generation gain difference between cement and white paint is 4.2% from September to December, the annual expected gain of Huasun Himalayan HJT modules on the white paint surface should be around 11.1%.
• The test results show that high bifaciality, low temperature coefficient, and low power attenuation are the decisive factors for the high-power generation gain of the HJT module.

Meanwhile, TaiyangNews is excited to announce that Huasun will be taking part in its upcoming Global PV System Technology Trends H1/2023 Virtual Conference scheduled to take place from 27-28 June 2023. For free registrations, click here now.

First phase of Trina Solar's Qinghai fab put into operation: Chinese solar module manufacturer Trina Solar through a WeChat communication said that its 5 GW n-type 210 silicon wafer facility in Qinghai has been put into operation. This marks the completion of the first phase of the 15 GW photovoltaic material slicing facility. On a different note, Trina Solar too will be an esteemed participant in the TaiyangNews Global PV System Technology Trends H1/2023 Virtual Conference scheduled to take place from 27-28 June 2023.

JinkoSolar conducts power generation study: Module supplier JinkoSolar said that it has conducted a comparative study on the power generation performance of double-sided photovoltaic modules equipped with TOPCon and PERC cell technologies. This study took place in the power station of the 100 MW photovoltaic desert control facility in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia. The results show that compared with conventional p-type PERC modules, n-type modules bring about 4.90 to 5.62% power generation gain under the same working conditions, which strongly reflects the excellent performance of JinkoSolar's n-type products in actual outdoor applications. At the upcoming TaiyangNews Global PV System Technology Trends H1/2023 Virtual Conference scheduled to take place from 27-28 June 2023, JinkoSolar will also be an important participant.

Astronergy awarded EPD environmental product declaration certification: PV module manufacturer Astronergy announced that it has obtained the EPD environmental product declaration certification, awarded by UL Solutions – a world-renowned safety testing and certification organization. This signifies that the ASTRO series modules launched by Astronergy – the entire life cycle of the module –  meets the requirements of the market and international standards. This also reinforces Astronergy's contribution to green and sustainable development. Watch Astronergy at the upcoming TaiyangNews Global PV System Technology Trends H1/2023 Virtual Conference scheduled to take place from 27-28 June 2023 as it reveals its latest updates.

Canadian Solar modules in Jiangxi Gaoan 150 MW floating PV station: Canada headquartered Chinese solar power company said that its 210 series modules have been selected for Jiangxi Gaoyang 150 MW floating photovoltaic power station. The company had launched 600W+ large-size, high-power 210 series modules in the first quarter of 2021. For floating photovoltaics, high humidity is a major concern, but Canadian Solar's bifacial modules have better water-blocking performance and are equipped with more reliable film packaging, thus addressing this concern. To add to this, Canadian Solar's bifacial double-glass modules also have rear gain, lower power attenuation and longer power warranty. All these can effectively improve the power generation performance of the power station and reduce the power generation cost per kilowatt-hour.
