DMEGC's Infinity Series high hail resistance modules pass CGC testing
Vertically integrated solar module manufacturer DMEGC Solar has announced that its Infinity Series high hail resistance modules have successfully passed the 65 mm large-diameter rigorous hail test conducted by third-party testing institution CGC. DMEGC claims it is the first module manufacturer in the photovoltaic (PV) industry to pass this test. Developed to address the increasing hail occurrences due to extreme weather, the Infinity Series is aimed at providing modules capable of withstanding hail conditions, says DMEGC. The test simulated extreme harsh weather by using ice balls with a diameter of 65 mm and a weight of 130 g, impacting the module surface vertically at a speed of 37 m/s. Test results showed that the appearance of the Infinity modules remained intact after the impact, with no micro-cracks detected in EL testing, no defects or leakage, and power attenuation was only about 0.53% – far less than the 5% required by IEC standards – demonstrating ultra-high impact resistance.
Recently, DMEGC Solar’s Infinity RT G12RT-B66HSW Anti-glare modules were found to exhibit significant anti-glare performance by the SPF Institute (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Risen Energy delivers 1st batch of HJT modules to Hebei Communications
Solar module manufacturer Risen Energy has announced that it has delivered the first batch of modules for Lot 1 of the Hebei Communications Investment Group's 2023 centralized procurement. Risen was selected as the first candidate for the 600 MW high-efficiency heterojunction (HJT) modules and PV-storage project in July this year. According to the agreement, starting in September, Risen Energy will successively deliver HJT modules in 3 batches for the Zhangjiakou 200 MW HJT Demonstration Solar PV Project (Phase VI). Additionally, it will also supply modules for the Shangyi County Chahanaoer Basin Management and Rural Revitalization 300 MW PV-storage project.
In August, Risen Energy announced that it has partnered with Uzbekistan's Power Company to develop a 300 MW solar PV storage power station project (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Shengpu Fluid withdraws from ChiNext Board listing
According to an announcement by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, solar manufacturing equipment supplier Shengpu Fluid has withdrawn its ChiNext Board IPO application, having passed the review on January 20, 2023. The announcement did not disclose the reason for the withdrawal of the application.
As per the prospectus submitted by Shengpu Fluid, established in 2007, the company provides solar equipment including module frame gluing machines, junction box dispensing machines, battery packs, etc. The solar business accounts for over 90% of the company's operating income, with leading global module manufacturers such as LONGi, Trinasolar, and JinkoSolar among its core customers. In 2021 and the first half of 2022, Shengpu Fluid achieved operating revenues of RMB 264 million ($37.29 million) and RMB 124 million ($17.51 million), respectively, and net profits of RMB 54.66 million ($7.72 million) and RMB 23.97 million ($3.39 million).
Metron delays construction of industrial park and R&D center
Solar diamond wire saw manufacturer Metron has announced a delay in the commissioning of 2 projects. In 2020, the company raised RMB 1.75 billion ($247.32 million) through its IPO of RMB ordinary shares to fund the construction of 3 projects: the Metron Industrial Park for RMB 462 million ($65.25 million); an R&D center for RMB 164 million ($23.16 million); and high-efficiency diamond wire manufacturing facility for RMB 710 million ($100.28 million).
While the high-efficiency diamond wire facility has been completed, the company has chosen to delay the other 2 projects by 2 years to December 2026. The company cites significant changes in the technology, industry, and market environments within the photovoltaic sector as the reasons for the delay.
