As diesel prices soar and rural electrification efforts accelerate, off-grid solar-storage systems are revolutionizing energy access across emerging economies. A recent World Bank study reveals that hybrid solar-diesel installations have slashed fossil fuel consumption by 70% in regions like Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America—translating to $12B in annual savings and 45...
France has revised down its solar PV target by 2035 from 100GW to 90GW in its latest Multiannual Energy Programme (PPE3). In the latest draft, which is open to consultation (in French) until April 05, the French government has revised its targets from 75-100GW – set in November 2024 – by 2035 to 65-90GW. By 2030, the country expects to reach 54GW of installed solar PV. To reach ...
The Chinese people's "volume" is reflected in all walks of life. In the first quarter of 2025, the ceramic industry faced an unprecedented "price war". Manufacturing is always similar, "Only brand companies are qualified to reduce prices. If there is no brand awareness, no one will care about you even if you reduce prices." According to relevant data, the ceramic industry contributes 1% of my coun...
Earthquakes are among the most unpredictable and devastating natural disasters, capable of crippling infrastructure, disrupting power grids, and leaving communities in darkness for days or even weeks. As solar-plus-storage systems gain traction worldwide, questions arise about their vulnerability to seismic events—and, more importantly, their potential to serve as lifelines during recovery. ...
Recently, my country's water photovoltaics have once again ushered in a highlight moment. Just on March 31, my country's first three-dimensional photovoltaic sea use project - Binzhou New Energy 850,000 kilowatt photovoltaic power generation project was successfully connected to the grid at full capacity. The project is located in the north of Binhai Town, Zhanhua District, Binzhou City, Shandong ...
Masdar, the UAE state-run renewables developer, has signed two agreements with the Indonesian electricity firm PT PLN to expand floating solar capacity on the Indonesian island of Java. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) that will see them develop a floating PV project at the Jatigede Dam reservoir in West Java. The MOU follows Masdar’s successful award of th...
On the same day, Hainan Province's first distributed "channel surface" photovoltaic project, Hainan Huadian Lingshui 59.9MW distributed photovoltaic power generation project, was connected to the grid for power generation. The project was invested by Huadian (Lingshui) New Energy Co., Ltd. and innovatively adopted a combination of photovoltaic power generation and canal resource utilization, that ...
