Stockpiling Opportunity Now? Will Solar Panel Prices Continue to Decline as the Upstream of Industry Chain Keeps Falling? In 2024, the phenomenon of layoffs in component companies is particularly prevalent, with varying degrees of production reduction among different companies. Leading enterprises have reached a consensus: reducing capacity to ensure reasonable profit margins. Read More »

In the past two years, virtually all newly released solar panel products have mentioned the keyword "power generation gain." However, for most people, this is just a number, a concept for comparison. If we look at it in a concrete way: In the realm of daily life, one kilowatt-hour of electricity can Read More »

Due to rapid expansion of silicon wafer capacity in China over the past two years, in 2023, China's polysilicon annual output exceeded 1.43 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 66.9%; silicon wafer annual output exceeded 622GW, a year-on-year increase of 67.5%. Currently, China is evidently the Read More »

Since the standardization of solar panel sizes last year, the 66-cell solar panel have become the industry-recognized "golden size". Why are leading enterprises vigorously promoting the 66 cell solar module? What are the benefits of this format for the buyers? According to various companies, the 66-cell solar panel is designed for higher-power 210R-sized cells. Not only can it maximize the current global module power limit, but it can also effectively reduce the cost of the industry chain, improve production efficiency, and bring good customer value in applications such as commercial and ground-mounted solar installations.

Photovoltaic carports, capable of effectively absorbing high-intensity sunlight and UV rays for electricity generation, while also possessing waterproof and pressure-resistant properties like ordinary carports, have attracted widespread attention. Read More »

When it comes to selecting solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, do you pay special attention to the voltage of the target model? Are you aware of how a small voltage parameter can impact the overall quality of a solar power station? If you do, then you're undoubtedly a very cautious buyer. If you haven' Read More »

How do you prevent micro cracks on solar panels? What is the new technology？ In the production, transportation, and installation of solar panels, "micro cracks" have always been an unavoidable danger. However, for the PV Module manufacturing industry, compared with relying on remedial measures, the primary focus is on how to minimize the possibility of micro-cracks from the source. The ability to control the operating temperature of solar panels is considered a basic feature for most compliant products on the market. What is more innovative is the technological competition among manufacturers during the production process. Read More »

The industry-wide continuous decline in silicon wafer prices is akin to a dynamic tug-of-war between buyers and sellers. In fact, silicon wafer manufacturers of various sizes have basically entered a phase of cyclical losses. The loss in the N-type is relatively evident due to a significant excess capacity. According to an InfoLink survey, the inventory of silicon wafers in the industry has accumulated to approximately 3.3 to 3.5 billion pieces, with N-type M10 specifications being the majority.

The lifespan of a solar power station is generally more than 25 years, and it is inevitable to encounter various extreme environments. How to ensure the continuous and stable power generation of solar modules should be everyone's biggest concern. In summary, qualified solar panel need to pass at least seven tests, including electrical performance testing, optical performance testing, mechanical performance testing, durability testing, temperature coefficient testing, reflectance testing, dimension and weight testing. Solar panels that pass these tests are considered to have a factory "passport", but to achieve superior performance, they also need to address tests such as temperature coefficient testing, dynamic mechanical load testing, lead testing, humidity resistance, and corrosion resistance testing, among others. The aforementioned hail load test belongs to a type of dynamic mechanical load testing. Read More »

A few days ago, the European Commission (EC) decided to form a Solar PV European Partnership with the European Technology and Innovation Platform (ETIP PV), the research representative of the photovoltaic industry at the EC. Read More »
