Global provider of PV and energy storage solutions Trinasolar has partnered with the Institute of Solar Energy at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (IES-UPM) to establish a joint solar demonstration center. The 2 entities recently held an unveiling ceremony to officially launch the facility. According to Trinasolar, the center will serve as a platform for hands-on experimentation with emerging solar technologies. The 2 parties will collaborate on renewable energy R&D, talent development, and open innovation initiatives.
In recent years, Trinasolar has also forged strategic partnerships with global research institutions such as A*STAR and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, as well as FACENS University in Brazil, to advance solar innovation, technical exchange, and global talent cultivation.
Earlier this month, Trinasolar announced a new world record for perovskite/crystalline silicon tandem module power, achieving 841 W (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Leading integrated solar manufacturer LONGi has announced that its Hi-MO X10 module series has been awarded the Class A Shading Performance Certification by TÜV Rheinland. The company says this certification recognizes the module’s superior resilience under partial shading conditions. Powered by the company’s proprietary HPBC 2.0 cell technology, the Hi-MO X10 modules feature an innovative quasi-bypass diode-like architecture. This design allows obstructed current to autonomously reroute around shaded areas, preserving power output across the entire module string.
LONGi states that under identical shading conditions, Hi-MO X10 modules experience over 70% less power loss compared to TOPCon-based modules, offering an effective solution to one of the PV industry’s long-standing challenges.
LONGi is raising RMB 4.8 billion ($667 million) through corporate bonds to expand BC production (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
In an exclusive interview as part of the TaiyangNews SNEC Solar Leadership Conversations 2025 at SNEC 2025, LONGi Group Vice President Dennis She spoke to TaiyangNews Managing Director Michael Schmela about the company's efforts to make back contact technology a cost-effective solution across diverse application scenarios (see SNEC 2025 Exclusive: Interview With LONGi Group VP Dennis She).
Hello Tech, a specialist in outdoor solar and energy storage solutions, has led the formulation of a new Chinese industry standard for portable PV modules, which has been officially approved by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). The standard introduces systematic technical requirements for the design and type testing of outdoor portable PV modules, tailored to the unique structural and usage characteristics of such products.
Set to take effect on August 1, 2025, the new standard addresses a regulatory gap in the portable PV segment and is expected to guide the sector’s future development in R&D, manufacturing, and product application.
Hello Tech it received the ‘world’s first’ curved PV tile BIPV UL 7103 certification and UL 61370 certification during SNEC 2025 (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Sigenergy, a provider of distributed energy storage solutions, has jointly released a white paper with Intertek, titled Comprehensive Safety Solutions for Commercial and Industrial Energy Storage Systems. The paper offers a systematic review of the development potential and safety challenges facing the C&I energy storage market. It highlights Sigenergy’s innovations in safety architecture and outlines a forward-looking approach to secure energy storage deployment.
Key issues identified in this white paper include thermal runaway, inadequate fire protection, and design and operations & maintenance (O&M) shortcomings. In response, Sigenergy introduces its modular SigenStack solution, which integrates layered safety features and advanced design to provide comprehensive protection across the entire storage system lifecycle.
