TaiyangNews’ 1st virtual conference on Inverters & Battery Storage
Sponsored by Jinko ESS and Hopewind, TaiyangNews' first Conference on Inverters & Batteries, to be held on November 19, 2024 from 10:00 to 13:00 CEST, will delve into parts of today’s solar power systems that are actually much more – the brains and mitochondria of PV installations – and essential in enabling renewables to become the fundament of the new energy order.
The speakers of the Conference will be: Eathin Xu, Product Manager from Jinko ESS; Alvaro Zanón, Utility Technical Support Director from Hopewind; Alexander Krenek, Policy & Government Affairs Manager from Enphase Energy; Isabella Caschetto, Product Manager from SMA Solar; and Frank Mu, Purchasing Team Leader from BayWa r.e. The Conference will be led by Michael Schmela, Managing Director of TaiyangNews.

JinkoSolar powers world's largest offshore solar project
In a recent release, leading solar PV and ESS manufacturer JinkoSolar states that its n-type Tiger Neo TOPCon modules have enabled the grid-connection of the world’s first gigawatt-scale offshore solar project. The 1.32 GW installation in Shandong, China is developed by CHN Energy’s Guohua Investment (see Commercial Operations Start For World’s ‘Largest’ Offshore Solar PV Project). The project encounters harsh marine conditions such as salt fog, UV exposure, and temperature fluctuations, demanding advanced module durability.
JinkoSolar says its dual-glass Tiger Neo modules feature POE encapsulation, which boosts resistance to seawater and extreme weather while enhancing power output and efficiency. It claims that these modules are capable of generating 1.58% higher energy generation compared to p-type BC modules, as tested at its base Putian, Fujian. Once fully operational, the project will supply 1.78 billion kWh annually, reducing coal use by 503,800 tons and cutting CO₂ emissions by 1.34 million tons, marking a breakthrough in offshore renewable energy.
Earlier this month, JinkoSolar was recognized on Fortune's Most Admired Chinese Companies list for its excellence in management, talent attraction, product quality, social responsibility, and global reach (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
DAS Solar PV Lab gets TÜV Rheinland CTF2 Lab Certificate
Solar PV cell and module manufacturer DAS Solar has announced that its photovoltaic (PV) laboratory has been awarded the TÜV Rheinland CTF2 Laboratory qualification certificate. The IECEE CTF2 certification enables the laboratory to issue CB reports and certificates, recognized by other member countries. This allows products tested in the laboratory to gain market access in member countries, achieving the ‘one standard, one test, global acceptance’ goal. DAS Solar states that its lab is one of the most advanced in the industry, combining research and development with quality control. It said further that the lab is equipped with comprehensive testing equipment for various tests such as module appearance inspection, maximum power determination, insulation tests, wet leakage current tests, PID, hail, LID, UV, damp-heat, and freezing tests.
Last month, DAS Solar announced that its outdoor verification lab has been awarded the TÜV Nord Witness Verification Certificate (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
JTPV perovskite tandem project selected for Anhui’s tech program
The “High-Efficiency Perovskite-Silicon Tandem Solar Cell R&D and Industrialization” project led by JTPV (Jietai Solar) has been successfully selected for the “Anhui Province Technology Innovation Program” by the Anhui Provincial Department of Science and Technology. The project aims to optimize the structure and scalable manufacturing processes of perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells. In collaboration with the Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering, Chinese Academy of Sciences, JTPV is focused on addressing key topics such as the design, optimization, and production of silicon-based bottom cells and intrinsic optimization of wide-bandgap perovskite top cells. A Drinda Group company, JTPV says it has made significant breakthroughs, with its 2T perovskite/TOPCon tandem cell achieving a significant conversion efficiency of 30.1%.
In October, JTPV announced that the 182 mm/199 mm/210 mm n-type TOPCon cell products produced at its Huai'an Base obtained the French carbon footprint certification (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
TÜV Rheinland Stability Certification for UtmoLight’s perovskite module
Solar technology UtmoLight has announced that its 1,200 x 600 mm commercial perovskite modules have passed the full IEC61215/61730 stability certification from TÜV Rheinland. Produced at its 150 MW production line, the modules can achieve a power output of 120 W, with an overall light-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 16.7%. According to UtmoLight, these are the highest-efficiency perovskite modules to pass IEC stability testing to date, representing a 2.1 percentage point improvement over the previous highest-efficiency modules certified by IEC.
MIIT names Tongwei in China’s 2024 5G Factory List
Vertically integrated solar PV manufacturer Tongwei Solar has announced that 2 of its subsidiaries have been included in the 2024 5G Factory List released by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Tongwei stated that it has been committed to exploring innovative paths in 5G + Industrial Internet. By introducing cutting-edge technologies such as unmanned intelligent manufacturing in workshops, digital management in parks, and outdoor unmanned logistics, the company says that it has achieved a comprehensive upgrade in industrial digitization, production intelligence, and management ‘smartization’. The project has become a benchmark for advanced manufacturing globally.
