GCL System Integration (GCL SI), Trina Solar, and Risen Energy have all announced significant increases in revenue and net profit for 2023.

Chinese inverter manufacturer Deye has developed a new all-in-one energy storage system (ESS) with 50 kW of output and 61.4 kWh of storage capacity. It features LiFePO4 batteries with a maximum temperature of less than 40 C.

Shenzhen Hiking PV has unveiled plans to set up a joint venture with a state-run company to build gigawatt-level perovskite/polysilicon tandem cell and panel production capacity in Guangdong province, while Hoshine has announced progress at its PV integration park in Xinjiang.

Chinese manufacturer TSUN says its Titan series of microinverters can handle 15 A of continuous input DC current. They also feature a 97.2% efficiency and four maximum power point tracking (MPPT) channels.

China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) has revealed that China’s cumulative PV capacity reached 609.49 GW at the end of 2023.

Researchers assessed the effect of solar energy projects on poverty in China and determined that PV systems can play a role in reducing multiple dimensions of poverty while also contributing to environmental protection.

JinkoSolar says it expects a 2023 net profit ranging between CNY 7.25 billion ($1.02 billion) and CNY 7.95 billion, while Arctech Solar says it anticipates a full-year net profit of CNY 354 million.

China’s SolaX Power has developed two lines of integrated energy storage systems that reportedly support up to 200% PV oversizing. Their rated output power ranges from 3 kW to 15 kW.

Scientists in China have used computer simulations to gain a better understanding of the factors that influence the adoption of residential PV.

Researchers in China have developed a novel way to predict the cloud coverage of PV plants. The method uses geostationary satellite and recurrent-neural networks.
