In the context of the rapid rise of global renewable energy, photovoltaic (PV) power generation is increasingly becoming a powerhouse in the energy sector. While primary materials have received widespread attention, auxiliary materials such as photovoltaic glass, frames, encapsulants, and silver paste also play a crucial role. These auxiliary materials not only directly affect the … Continue reading Changes in the proportion of photovoltaic auxiliary materials and global expansion →

This week, the silicon material market experienced low trading activity with limited transaction volumes as the signing period approaches its end. Although some leading companies are showing a price increase trend in small orders, this change has not affected the overall market price structure. Currently, silicon manufacturers are strongly supporting prices; however, downstream demand for … Continue reading Tug-of-war over prices starts in the photovoltaic industry chain →

China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) says China’s cumulative installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity reached 750 GW in August, with 139.99 GW of new capacity additions in the first eight months of 2024.The NEA said China’s cumulative installed solar capacity reached 750 GW in August 2024, with 139.99 GW added in the first eight months of 2024, … Continue reading Photovoltaic (PV) industry installed 149 GW from January to August in China →

China is transitioning from a solar manufacturing photovoltaic (PV) powerhouse to a leading innovator in intellectual property (IP), said a national photovoltaics (PV) IP operation director at a recent industry conference in Beijing. “In 2022, China accounted for over 80 per cent of capacity and production in all stages of the solar photovoltaic (PV) supply … Continue reading China shifts from photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing giant to solar IP innovator →

In Chaideng Village in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, 3.46 million blue solar panels are spread across the desert, covering 30 square kilometers and transforming the endless sands into a shimmering “photovoltaic sea.” The solar power base is part of an ambitious solar-powered desert reclamation project known as the “photovoltaic Great Wall,” which stretches … Continue reading A ‘photovoltaic sea’ in the desert of northern China →

China, the world’s largest investor in clean energy, has seen the rise of a solar panel “Great Wall” in a desert in the country’s northern region of Inner Mongolia, which not only provides clean energy, but also benefits the local environment and the economy. Spanning the northern edge of the Kubuqi Desert in Dalad Banner, … Continue reading China builds photovoltaic “Great Wall” in northern desert →

Some major photovoltaic manufacturers have completed their orders for the month and have largely suspended quotations this week, according to Solarbe. Despite the positive sentiment among silicon material companies to maintain prices, no significant transactions have been concluded due to downstream pricing and inventory concerns. Material Average Price (CNY/kg) Average Price (USD/kg) Weekly Change (%) … Continue reading Photovoltaic in China →
