Modern inverters don’t just convert power; the ‘brains’ of the solar system have evolved into intelligent, multi-tasking hubs. They are increasingly becoming active participants in grid management, not following the grid, but forming it.
Batteries are equally critical. Solar batteries are key to breaking the glass ceiling that limits further solar growth in advanced solar markets, unlocking their potential to deliver energy not just when the sun shines, but also at different times.
At the TaiyangNews Inverters & Battery Storage Conference, Luis Manuel Haya Carballo, Solutions Engineer at HyperStrong, will be speaking on the topic: ‘Supporting Europe's Energy Future with Integrated BESS Solutions.’
Sponsored by JinkoSolar, the Conference will bring top experts together to explore how advanced inverters and battery storage are shaping resilient, future-proof solar energy systems.
The Conference will take place on Tuesday, December 16, 2025. Register for free here.
Solar cell equipment maker Shenzhen S.C New Energy disclosed progress on its fundraising-backed solar equipment projects. The company raised approximately RMB 3.63 billion in 2018 and 2021 for several solar cell and semiconductor equipment facilities.
According to its latest announcement, the project titled ‘Ultra-efficient Solar Cell Equipment Industrialization – Large-format Multi-chamber Diffusion Furnace & PECVD Production Line’ has reached its intended usable state and is now completed.
Another project, the ‘Ultra-efficient Solar Cell Equipment Industrialization – PAR Transparent Conductive Film Equipment Project’, has been delayed due to slow construction progress. Its commissioning date has been pushed from December 31, 2025, to the end of 2026.
In August, Shenzhen S.C New Energy announced shipping what it calls ‘a breakthrough’ in its industrial-grade piezoelectric inkjet printing technology for perovskite thin films (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Solar panel manufacturer Risen Energy has announced that its heterojunction (HJT) Hyper-ion module series has achieved a carbon footprint of 301.765 kg CO₂-eq/kWc under the French carbon footprint assessment. The company attributes this reduction in carbon footprint to low-temperature processing, thinner wafers, and busbar-free design. Risen Energy highlights that its HJT modules offer 740 W+ output, a temperature coefficient of -0.24%/°C, and over 90% bifaciality, improving yield under high-temperature and high-irradiance conditions. The company says these features help the product meet European demand for low-carbon, high-efficiency modules.
In October, Risen Energy’s Ninghai and Nanbin production bases received Silver-level ESG certification from the Solar Stewardship Initiative (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Wafer equipment supplier Yujing disclosed a major 3-party agreement with an overseas PV manufacturer (end customer) and a domestic company (buyer). The contract value totals $28.5968 million (approx. RMB 202.33 million). Yujing will supply slicing machines, automation systems, and diamond-wire production line equipment. Delivery to the end customer will be done by the buyer and is scheduled for 6 months after contract signing.
Sichuan Province published bidding results for its mechanism-based electricity pricing program, covering 13,996 renewable projects with a combined quota of 5.02 TWh.
Solar projects accounted for 13,980 of the total and 4.14 TWh at a mechanism tariff price of RMB 0.373/kWh.
Wind projects totaled 16, covering 0.88 TWh at RMB 0.393/kWh.
This bidding round applies to wind and PV projects commissioned between June 1, 2025, and December 31, 2026, with a 12-year mechanism tariff period.
