solar modules

The Rheinhessen-based module manufacturer Bauer Solar has received official approval for overhead glazing from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBt). The DIBt approval covers the new Protect modules from the glass-glass series with the designation BS-XXX-XXXMXHBT-GGP.

Video: Glass-free photovoltaic half-cell modules. 60 to 70 percent lighter than conventional modules, while at the same time offering high quality and resilience. How this works and what advantages it brings we will find out now with Thomas Bell of Sunman.

LONGi recently announced a new three-year partnership with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. The company will also provide solar systems and solutions as well as solar energy skills training to support refugees and host communities.

FuturaSun’s FENICE project, aimed at building a high-efficiency photovoltaic module plant in Italy, has passed the selection process by CINEA, securing a grant from the Innovation Fund—one of the European Commission’s key initiatives to drive technological innovation and the green transition.

The market for second-life solar modules is growing rapidly: in addition to use in smaller stand-alone systems and as balcony power plants, entire solar parks can also be equipped with used modules. After all, 70 per cent of old modules are immediately usable.

Manufacturers of high-efficiency modules with TopCon and back-contact technology communicate different test results to prove the efficiency advantages of their technology. Trina Solar now points to generation gains of TopCon PV modules.

DAS Solar supplied 2.1MW of high-efficiency N-type modules for the Xperal Zonneweide Kempenbroek PV project, which was successfully connected to the grid in the Netherlands. The project is located in Limburg Province, a province with abundant sunlight.

Huasun's G12-132 HJT solar module has reached a new milestone with a power output of 769 watts and 24.75% efficiency, driving innovation in photovoltaic technology.

Solitek’s latest Solrif module in the Solid series is pushing solar roofing forwards with its design and efficiency. Is this the future of sustainable energy?

LONGi has published its financial report for the first half of 2024. The integrated Chinese module manufacturer generated revenues of the equivalent of 5.03 billion euros in the period. One challenge, however, is the low PV manufacturing capacity utilization rate of less than 50 percent. Growth with the new HPBC 2.0 back-contact series is expected in 2025.

The Dutch provider of solar solutions Autarco presents the first storage system under its own brand: It is a three-phase high-voltage battery with battery cells made of lithium iron phosphate.

Peter Thiele, President Sharp Energy Solutions Europe, about historical milestones, the development of photovoltaic technology and future challenges and opportunities in the solar industry.

Solar Materials have been awarded the Solar Startup Award 2024 for their pioneering recycling solution. They have developed a new recycling technology that allows the recovery of all raw materials from solar panels with a 98% recovery rate, and a 80% lower carbon footprint.

Just under a year after the opening of Reiling's first recycling plant for solar modules, two technological breakthroughs have been achieved. Firstly, the quality of the recovered solar glass has been significantly improved. In addition, the recovery of silicon has been realised on an industrial scale.

Sharp’s NU-JC series solar modules have passed a strict hail impact test (HW4) and have been officially included in the Swiss and Austrian Hail Register.
