Generally speaking, PV systems are safe to use if they are properly installed and regularly maintained. Still, more can be done to make them even safer, more reliable, and more intelligent. Continuous improvements in the safety of PV systems is obviously something welcomed by system operators and end-users. “There is no compromise to safety,” said Owen Tsai, director at SolarEdge Technologies Taiwan. ...  more

Photovoltaic Industry Price Trend: G1 Resources Experience Relatively Tight Supply Prior to Year End as Polysilicon Prices Suspend in Reduction and Stabilize

published 2020 年 12 月 16 日 17:06
Polysilicon The quotations for polysilicon have gradually stabilized this week, with slight increases in partial quotations. As downstream wafer businesses are starting to exhibit hoarding of mono polysilicon, the majority of polysilicon businesses have completed all orders for December, and a number of sporadic quotations have suspended in reduction, which actuated the mainstream quotations for mono polysilicon to arrive at RMB 80-84/kg this week, with the average price maintained at RMB 82/kg. ...  more

The French Government Plans to Renege on Fixed PV Rates to Cut Down on €2 Billion in Yearly Subsidies, but at What Cost?

PV cost has plummeted within the past 10 years due to an increase in equipment installation and improvement in PV technology. Since 2010, PV cost has dropped by 82%. Although this spells good news for consumers and developers alike, the price drop also means the earlier fixed electricity rate (FIT, or feed-in-tariff) has become much more expensive than the rates offered by newly built PV power stations. In light of this discrepancy, the French government has now deemed it appropriate to adjust the earlier fixed rates. Should the proposal pass into law, this will likely have dire ramifications for PV power plants with capacities exceeding 250KW built between 2006 and 2010. ...  more

Photovoltaic Industry Price Trend: Cell and Module Quotations Rise amidst Stabilized Prices during Stocking Period with Relatively Tight Supply of G1 Resources

published 2020 年 11 月 25 日 18:03
Polysilicon The quotations for polysilicon have slightly decreased this week, and the overall reduction of the polysilicon market has decelerated evidently. The volume of concluded transactions has not increased with the continuous decrement of polysilicon quotations from weeks ago, and the downstream sector remains cautious on procurement, where the majority of polysilicon businesses are no longer lowering prices blindly, thus the overall reduction has decelerated. ...  more
