Finlay Colville, head of market research at Solar Media, said module prices will remain high for at least the next 18 months, additional capacity will be quickly eaten up by soaring demand, and adding capacity outside China is seen as risky. Speaking at the Solar Finance and Investment Europe (SFIE) conference in London, hosted by PV Tech publisher Solar Media in London, Colville said that over th...

On March 28, Eastern Time, the U.S. Department of Commerce said it would launch an investigation that may lead to anti-circumvention investigations into solar products imported from Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. The specific timetable is: 1) Beginning on March 28, US time, the US Department of Commerce began to conduct an anti-circumvention investigation on solar products imported from...

After being approved by the South Korean board of directors on February 22, LG Electronics announced that the company will withdraw from the global solar module manufacturing business.   LG Electronics said increased material and logistics costs and severe supply constraints were the main reasons for the decision to halt solar module manufacturing.   It is reported that LG's 550MW solar ...

According to the latest annual clean energy statistics report released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the installed capacity of off-grid photovoltaic systems installed around the world has barely increased since the outbreak of theCOVID-19 in 2020.   According to the report released by the agency, most of the countries that own and operate off-grid PV systems aroun...

As the "heart" of photovoltaic power generation, the health of the inverter is closely related to the smooth operation of the photovoltaic power generation system. It is necessary to understand common inverter alarms and accurately determine the cause of inverter alarms. 1. Inverter alarms not caused by internal devices If the screen or APP shows that the EEPROM fails, it can usually be repaired b...

To ask "What is the most feared problem of  photovoltaic power generation?" Experienced people must know "the problem of shadow occlusion." 1. Small shadows, big hazards Because the position of the sun changes with the seasons and time, and the surrounding potential obstructions also change over time, anyone with experience in installing photovoltaic power plants understands that shadows are ...

The large number of solar panels installed in the early 2000s is approaching the end of its life cycle, which poses a serious problem for the solar industry, and current solar panel disposal methods fall far short of environmental requirements. In theory, solar energy is more promising than ever. Solar cells are getting easier and cheaper to produce. But solar PVs have some less-talked-about quest...

The German government continues to address the energy crisis by implementing tax relief to support small photovoltaics. This time, the tax relief is aimed at supporting PV systems under 30kW. The new rules plan to start in early 2023, and any photovoltaic system operating on a single-family residential or commercial property with an output of up to 30kW will no longer be required to pay income tax...

With the popularization and application of industrial and commercial photovoltaics, more and more industrial enterprises are using their factory roofs to build photovoltaic power generation system. There is usually no objection to installing photovoltaics on the south slope, but how to deal with the installation of photovoltaics on the north slope of the color steel roof. Whether to continue to us...
