The Chinese manufacturer launched two new module series for utility scale applications. The new products feature a temperature coefficient of -0.24% per C and a bifaciality factor of over 85%.

The Indian authorities say the nation’s latest 10 GWh tender was oversubscribed. It attracted seven bidders, including ACME Cleantech Solutions, Reliance Industries, and Waaree Energies.

Chinese module manufacturer JinkoSolar has recorded roughly $16.4 billion of revenue and a $1.06 billion net profit for 2023, with PV module shipments reaching 78.52 GW. Its module manufacturing capacity hit 110 GW at the end of December.

The South Korean government has announced a new package of measures to support agrivoltaic projects. It says that the agrivoltaics business should be a priority for agricultural companies.

A group of researchers in Iran has analyzed the coefficient of performance and the energy consumption of a solar-assisted heat pumps and an air-source heat pumps and has found that three factors are crucial to determine their annual performance – irradiance changes, ambient temperature, and wind speed.

The recent COP28 meeting resulted in targets to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030, and demand for solar power is expected to continue to grow amid a market that is transitioning toward more advanced technologies. Here we examine the outlook for heterojunction (HJT) solar solutions and the types of projects that are already showcasing their potential in major regions.

Denmark will procure at least 6 GW of offshore wind power capacity to potentially produce hydrogen, while Orlen says it will use a European Commission grant to build 16 hydrogen refueling stations in Poland.

The Chinese manufacturer said Germany’s TÜV SUD has confirmed the results.

China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) says the nation installed more than 47 GW of solar in the first three months of this year.

Solargis says that Indian solar operators have experienced below-average PV panel performance due to air pollution in each of the past five winters. Northern India experienced the worst air quality in decades this January, with data showing a 30% to 50% dip in solar irradiance due to high aerosol levels.
