Rocky Li, Trinasolar’s Global Product Manager, shared how the company delivers industry-leading low-carbon solutions for modules and trackers worldwide. The company's 5-pillar strategy – high-efficiency i-TOPCon cells, advanced trackers, green manufacturing, vertical integration, and digital supply chain management – ensures fully traceable, sustainable products. With certified carbon footprints already in production, Li said these solutions and compliance with global standards help its customers secure projects and financing. This provides them with a competitive edge through transparency and reduced lifecycle emissions.
The solar sector faces both risks and gains tied to climate adaptation – changes in weather or solar irradiation can impact yields and long-term asset value, but they can also create growth prospects, notes Jochen Hauff, Founder of Think Resiliency and Senior Advisor on Agrivoltaics with Global Solar Council, in his keynote. Uncertainties are here to stay, but a focus on resiliency can open new opportunities. Importantly, resiliency complements sustainability rather than replacing it, he stresses, offering an extra lens for designing a more robust, future-ready solar industry.
And we are live! TaiyangNews Managing Director Michael Schmela kicks off the 3rd edition of Solar & Sustainability 2025 Conference. He says ESG and sustainability aren’t just buzzwords, but our responsibility as an industry. The solar industry has made progress. From only 4 out of the top 10 PV manufacturers publishing annual Sustainability reports in 2021, now all top 10 publish them – real change is happening, but we can do more beyond clean energy. From production practices to certifications, the tools are there, but how to navigate them, we learn today!
Stay tuned for an engaging panel discussion to wrap up the conference as TaiyangNews Managing Director Michael Schmela brings together industry leaders to unpack ESG in solar – at a time when the global PV sector faces overcapacity, record-low prices, and unpredictable market trends. Joining him on the panel are Guido Agostinelli from IFC/World Bank, Jochen Hauff from Global Solar Council, and Lin Sun from JinkoSolar.
Here’s a quick look at what’s coming up today – a keynote on sustainability and resiliency across the PV value chain, followed by presentations on industry efforts toward low-carbon solutions, recycling, traceability, ESG, certification, and financing led by top experts.
We’re about to get started! Welcome to another exciting TaiyangNews event. In just a few minutes, the 3rd edition of the TaiyangNews Solar & Sustainability 2025 Virtual Conference will go live – bringing together key industry voices to discuss sustainable practices in the PV sector.
