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 the 23rd local time, the Office of the US Trade Representative issued a statement announcing the re-exemption of tariffs on 352 items imported from China. The new regulations will apply to imports from China between October 12, 2021 and December 31, 2022. s product. Exempted items mainly include industrial components such as pumps and motors, auto parts, chemicals, backpacks, bicycles, v...
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...
PID effect is Potential Induced Degradation. The direct harm of PID to the module is that a large amount of charge accumulates on the surface of the cell, which aggravates the passivation effect of the cell surface, resulting in a decrease in the fill factor, open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the cell, and the power of the cell module is attenuated, and the attenuation degree can r...
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...
When designing the inclination of the photovoltaic array, there is a big difference between the grid-connected power station and the off-grid power station, because the goals pursued by the grid-connected power station and the off-grid power station are different when generating electricity. The goal of grid-connected power stations is to maximize the annual power generation, that is, the design o...
