A new 120 MW solar installation spread across 11 rooftops in China’s Jiangxi province is now the world’s largest single-capacity, building-integrated PV project.
Trina Solar said TÜV Nord in Germany has confirmed the efficiency rating of its latest solar cell.
Scientists from China developed a controllable moisture treatment for perovskite films that is reportedly able to promote the mass transportation of organic salts. The films were used to build a 0.2 cm2 perovskite solar cell that was able to retain 80% of its initial efficiency after 1200 h.
The new module has a power conversion efficiency of up to 21.5% and a temperature coefficient of -0.35% per C.
China installed 37.73 GW of solar in the first seven months of this year, according to official estimates. JinkoSolar said it is struggling to cope with power rationing in Sichuan province, while Shunfeng said it expects to record a hefty net loss for the first half.
Tongwei has won a contract to supply China Resources Power with 3 GW of solar panels, while Canadian Solar has revealed that it had a particularly strong second quarter.
Investments in renewables are hitting new highs in China, as recurrent Covid-19 outbreaks and a crisis-stricken housing market threaten the world’s second-biggest economy, according to BloombergNEF.
Researchers in China have reported a colorization strategy for solar based on photonic glass. They created solar panels that took on blue, green, and purple hues, while only dropping the efficiency of power generation from 22.6% to 21.5%.
Tongwei is temporarily halting polysilicon output in Sichuan due to high temperatures, while Yingli has completed a 5 GW N-type solar cell base in Hebei. Shangji, meanwhile, has revealed plans to build a massive wafer and solar cell factory in Jiangsu.
The authorities in China’s Guangdong province have released a 2022-25 plan that foresees the retail price for hydrogen dropping to less than CNY 30/kg ($4.42/kg). Germany and Canada, meanwhile, are set to strengthen their collaboration on hydrogen, and Ford has revealed plans to team up with Southern California Gas for a hydrogen fuel cell electric truck that will be on the road by 2025.
