Solarstone has launched a universal aluminum framing kit that it says essentially renders any solar panel into a two-in-one weatherproof roofing material without the need for additional sublayers.

Russian-based solar module and cell manufacturer Hevel Group unveils a new building-integrated PV product based on heterojunction technology.

Swiss Solar AG has announced that its new solar PV module production facility is located in Turkey. When complete, it says there will be three production lines with an annual capacity of 1.5 GW. By 2027, it aims to have “at least” 5 GW of manufacturing capacity available.

AE Solar has won the UN Global Compact Partnership for Sustainability Award 2021 – in the Planet Category for its solution to halt solar industry-related global piracy.

For industrial and commercial applications, battery energy storage systems should be highly flexible to scale, safe, and easy to install. They should also have favorable operating costs, allow for great financial savings, and guarantee a high level of resilience. In the following interview, Gilles Ramzey discusses three main battery storage applications and how resilience in power supply is of key import to the company’s customers.

A new battery system from Mango Power will be available to purchase at a special price from Indiegogo on November 23. The Mango Power Union features the “world’s first built-in dual PV inverter,” says the company.

Swiss-based Studer Innotec is launching a battery inverter which brings the advantages of the off-grid space to grid-tied installations in Europe. In this interview, Pierre-Olivier Moix, chief technology officer and board member at Studer Innotec, explains the differences to a standard energy home system, and some possible applications.

Swiss Solar AG has started construction on a new PV manufacturing facility in Europe. It has already invested CHF 50 million (around €47 million) in the project. 

Solar energy is not only key to the energy transition and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; it is also a way to empower remote and rural communities that are isolated from easy access to electricity. Across the globe, distributed solar solutions are being implemented to improve the well-being of individuals, communities, and businesses by providing access to clean, affordable energy. Huawei technology is at the heart of many of these solutions, as the following case studies from Africa and the Middle East demonstrate.

Solar energy is smarter and more affordable than ever before. And with its LUNA2000 distributed battery storage product, Huawei is further unlocking the value of PV, enabling the use of solar energy long after sunset. By taking a closer look into some key residential storage markets, how this value stacks up truly becomes clear.
