The one-stop marketplace platform will be launched in the US market next year. It will help homeowners find the best combination of products depending on their consumption profile.

The state-owned oil and gas company is seeking bids to set up green hydrogen generation units with annual capacities of 5,000 MT and 2,000 MT, respectively, at two of its facilities in India.

This week, Russia joined forces with the United Arab Emirates to develop common hydrogen projects and similar moves were made by Chile and South Korea, Japan and Australia, as well as by France and Germany. French President Emmanuel Macron announced €2 billion in new investments.

Panasonic said the system is available in the U.S. with storage capacities of 17.1 kWh and 25.65 kWh. The product comes with a floor-standing battery cabinet and a hybrid smart inverter with 4 MPPTs.

Furthermore, China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) said residential PV installations totaling 1.93 GW were deployed in October alone and Heterojunction (HJT) solar new entrant Golden Solar became strategic partner of Gold Stone Energy Co Ltd.

Several black swans have been circling over this year’s solar PV industry: rising raw material and product prices; supply chain issues and international logistics holdups; and power shortages in China, to name but the most disruptive. How is it possible for solar companies to survive under these conditions? According to Dong Shuguang, a PV veteran and President of Talesun Solar, they must focus on solar technologies like PERC, TOPCon and HJT, and product innovations that provide customer value.

SJVN’s board of directors approved a plan to set ut a wholly-owned subsidiary for the development of solar PV, wind, storage, and green hydrogen projects.

While the Sino-Canadian business expects high polysilicon and shipping costs to be a temporary problem, CEO Shawn Qu has acknowledged the company will have overcapacity in cell and wafer production lines by the end of the year.

Tested in an off-grid location in India, the proposed approach includes the use of thermal storage from PV modules’ excess heat for space and water heating. The optimum configuration for the system was given by the combination of a 224 kW PV system equipped with a phase change material, a 206 kW wind turbine, a 420 kW biogas generator, a 633 Ah battery, and a 170 kW converter.

The investment made by the South Korean group should help REC Silicon restart polysilicon production at its US factory in Moses Lake in 2023.
