Sineng opens 10 GW PV inverter factory in China’s Ningxia province
With this new factory, the annual production capacity of the Chinese PV inverter maker has reached 23 GW.
Interoperable SCADA protocols for PV inverters
NREL researchers have developed interoperable SCADA protocols for PV inverters. Two new sets of codes were conceived to enable legacy inverters, which are inverters that are not capable of providing some or all of the grid support functions to participate in advanced distribution management.
SolarEdge launches expanded line of commercial inverters
SolarEdge’s new three-phase inverters are available in variants up to 120 kW, with integrated monitoring and a modular design.

Exploring the depths of Europe’s oldest grid-connected PV system
A 10 kW PV system has been feeding electricity into the Swiss power network since 1982. A research team has investigated the performance of the array’s first 35 years of life and has found that solar modules can target – at least in temperate climates – service lifetimes of 35 years, and that the bill of materials matters, a lot!
