Starting from that year: n-PERT to PERC In 2011, low-cost double-sided n-type technologies such as n-PERT became an alternative to the dominant Al-BSF technology at that time. However, bifacial PERC quickly outcompeted the competition and became a mainstream technology in 2018, with solar cell efficiencies well above 22%. OEM Custom:A Grade PERC Bifacial,166mm M6 Solar Panels,182mm M10 solar panels,210mm M12 solar panels In 2020, PERC became the "King of the Energy Market". As the silicon wafer size increased from M2 to M6 solar panels, and now to M10 solar panels, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of the bifacial photovoltaic system dropped to 1USct/kWh. In 2023, PERC cell efficiency will reach the limit of 23.5%, and module efficiency will be lower than 22%. This is the opportunity for n-type technologies such as TOPCon, HJT and IBC to become the next trend, which is exactly what is happening now. From 2024 onwards, it is a general trend that TOPCon technology will become the mainstream of the photovoltaic industry. By the end of 2023, TOPCon's production capacity will increase to approximately 450GW, HJT's 50GW, and IBC/TBC's 40GW. The key difference between TOPCon and PERC is the passivated backside deposition technology, which is currently undergoing a race to be the most cost-competitive. In the field of polysilicon deposition, the transition from LPCVD to PECVD and PVD has also been very rapid. All TOPCon cells have passivated contacts on the back and most have selective emitters on the front, increasing the voltage to over 720mV and making the cells more efficient than 24.5%. The next step in battery development is to achieve p+ polarity passivated contacts. This is another reason why TOPCon will be unrivaled in the coming years and keep HJT (another "emerging" n-type technology) at lower capacity levels, HJT will now be compared to TOPCon instead of PERC. A logical step in the future is to "upgrade" TOPCon to TOPCon back contact (TBC), since to achieve a voltage of about 740mV a carrier-selective contact (passivated contact) on the p+ polarity is necessary. Generally speaking, front-side non-metallization is the best solution for maximum efficiency, while back-side metallization and interconnection are very simple. TBC has the potential for higher efficiency (open circuit voltage of 740mV) and can replace silver with low-cost materials such as copper or aluminum. With these two materials, the silver content in these new concept batteries can be reduced to 4mg/Wp. In the next few years, the country will promote the industrialization of copper and aluminum ZEBRA and polyZEBRA IBC. therefore,we expect TBC to dominate the market after 2028. Some powerful components are already on display at SNEC and Intersolar 2023. It has been proven that TOPCon will replace PERC in 2024 and become another important product after PERC. The next logical step is to move to TBC. Hot Tags: mounting kits,N Type TOPCON,HJT Technology,TBC Technolo...

In the context of the dual-carbon era, photovoltaics, as the main force in carbon neutrality, has attracted much attention from various industries. In recent years, as P-type PERC cells have gradually approached the theoretical efficiency development limit, the photovoltaic industry has ushered in a new iteration cycle of new and old technologies. N-type TOPCon cells have become a new technology route that the industry focuses on and is hotly discussed due to its higher conversion efficiency. At the same time, the continuous technological breakthroughs of enterprises in the field have pushed the industry to open a new era of N-type applications. Whether in the past, present or future, photovoltaic technology must develop to become more efficient, cheaper and more reliable. It is a constant and indispensable logic and principle. Since the development of the industry, the crystalline silicon technology route has shown the characteristics of a hundred flowers blooming. However, judging from the current mainstream TOPCon and heterojunction, the corresponding physical logic behind them is the same, that is, they are all passivated contacts. In the future, several technological developments will have reference , integration, but also differences. In addition, from the perspective of industry development trends, the future will definitely belong to TOPCon, and the market space is much larger than that of several other technologies. In the future, the industry will make concerted efforts to break through the double-sided TOPCon technology, and implement the application of oxide film technology on the TOPCon technology platform. The future development space of TOPCon is quite promising. At present, TOPCon technology is only used for one side. There are still many scientific questions to be answered about whether the double-sided technology will bring the theoretical efficiency to 28.7%, or whether it can reach it faster and promote the industry to achieve advanced development. solve. However, I believe that with friends from the business community and scientists, the application of more innovative technologies at TOPCon will definitely be accelerated. Throughout the development path of the photovoltaic industry, technological innovation has always been the key driver for the upgrading and development of the industry. In this era where technology is king, N-type TOPCon technology is becoming a key layout direction in the market with its series of excellent features such as low attenuation, low power temperature coefficient, high efficiency, and high bifacial ratio. In turn, how to further promote N-type technology to reduce costs and increase efficiency has become a hot topic in the industry. N-type TOPCon has the two major advantages of "high conversion efficiency, low-cost industrialization and production equipment support", and TOPCon technology is firmly chosen as the main layout direction. And through production optimization and material optimization,...

In recent days, reporters from China Securities Journal and local dealers in Europe have discussed issues such as high component inventory in the European solar panel market, declining component export data in July, and demand in the second half of the year. Starting from the middle of 2022, the difference between export data and actual installed capacity data has always remained above45GW. Frankly speaking, even insiders have almost no one who can completely and logically deduce the market evolution that will follow. Current market environment: Regarding stocking up, on the one hand, there is indeed a shortage of goods in the market in 2022, and the prices of components are also higher, so manufacturers have begun to stock up in large quantities; on the other hand, some manufacturers have indeed overstocked in the first half of the year in order to collect export data. Some dealers reported that at the beginning of 2023, there were not so many spot products in Germany, and the sales prices were very high. At that time, dealers who sold spot products made money. However, as more and more components are sold on the market, one company is clearing inventory. , all the players in the market were forced to follow. The spot price of components has been declining. In recent months, component prices havedropped by more than 25%. Some dealers reported that in May, June, and July, they saw a sudden increase in components on the market, and the sales of their own components were very lukewarm. However, after August, they launched a big promotion (the price dropped significantly), and the order volume increased again. I am also taking a wait-and-see attitude to see how the market will evolve next. How do you predict the evolution of the European solar panel market? Please leave your professional and powerful judgment!

Abu Dhabi-based renewable energy company Masdar will seek to invest in the development of renewable energy projects of up to 1 gigawatt in Kyrgyzstan under an agreement with the Kyrgyz government. Masdar, also known as Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC, will seek investments in a variety of renewable energy technologies, including ground-mounted and floating solar photovoltaic (PV) and hydropower. The company said on Friday that it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Kyrgyz Republic's Ministry of Energy on the initiative. Masdar's potential investment is expected to enable Kyrgyzstan to achieve its 44 percent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and its carbon neutrality 2050 goals. The Central Asian country gets 90 percent of its electricity from clean energy, mostly from aging hydropower plants. Abdulla Zayed, head of development and investment in Asia at Masdar, said: "Kyrgyzstan has great potential to develop a wider range of clean energy, including solar and floating solar, which will lead to greater energy security, and support better management of water resources.” Masdar has renewable energy investments in 40 countries worth more than $20 billion (about 1.85 billion euros), the company's 2021 sustainability report shows. The projects it has invested in, both installed and under development, exceed 15GW. Last month, it launched construction of a 230-megawatt solar power plant in Azerbaijan. (1.0 USD = 0.927 EUR)

The UK capital, London, will have nearly 4GW of rooftop PV systems deployed by 2030, which will play a key role in achieving its net-zero emissions targets, research shows. Four options to help decarbonise London are presented in a new report from a study commissioned by London Mayor Sadiq Khan from Element Energy. While all four scenarios of "high electrification, high hydrogen, unrestricted, accelerated green" feature higher energy efficiency, behavioral change, and electrification, they vary in speed and technology choices. PV systems are expected to play a key role in the decarbonisation of residential and non-residential buildings in all scenarios, with London setting a target of deploying 3.9GW of PV systems by 2050. This will require more policy support and additional funding and financing, especially to support energy projects in the community In high electrification and high hydrogen scenarios, PV systems will still play an important role, with the goal of deploying 2GW of PV systems by 2050. The City of London has launched several programmes to support the deployment of more PV systems, the most recent being the London PV Skills Project, which will fund training in PV systems, energy storage systems and low carbon technologies. Photovoltaic systems are also eligible to be supported by the Warm Homes discount, with £51 million to be spent in 2021 to roll out energy-efficient technology to low-income households in London. The research report, published by Element Energy, lists energy efficiency, electric vehicle charging, heat pumps and the rollout of demand-side response solutions as key areas of focus for development. Khan said, “It is clear that the costs of not taking active action will far outweigh the costs of transitioning to net zero and reducing air pollution, while deploying large numbers of PV systems is good for our economy, livelihoods, environment and people’s health. This is now Why you need to start a conversation with people, local governments and businesses about the best way to create the green, sustainable cities that people all want to see.”

The Ministry of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources of Ecuador initiated three different tenders to achieve 900 MW of power generation capacity and a transmission line. Through Bloque de Energías Renovables No Convencionales, one of the procurement activities, the Ecuadorian authorities intend to allocate 500 MW of installed electricity from hydroelectric, wind, solar and biomass power plants. These projects will be distributed in different geographical areas of the country, and their joint development is expected to require an investment of US$875 million. The second tender is for the construction of a transmission line connecting the National Interconnection System (SNI) and the Interconnection Power Petroleum System (SIEP). The new line aims to provide clean energy for the national oil industry, and its construction requires an investment of US$386 million. Through the third tender, the Ecuadorian government hopes to build a 400 MW combined cycle natural gas power plant. Starting today, interested developers can submit their project proposals. Ecuador announced a renewable energy tender plan of more than 1 GW in September. According to data from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), by the end of 2020, this Latin American country has installed only 28 megawatts of solar photovoltaic capacity. In the past seven years, it has deployed only 2 megawatts of photovoltaics.

• The European Photovoltaic Industry Association recently announced that the capacity of residential solar energy storage systems deployed in Europe will increase from 3GWh in 2020 to 12.8GWh in 2025. • European household optical storage systems will increase by 44% in 2020, and 140,000 sets will be installed. According to reports, the European Photovoltaic Industry Association recently announced that according to the forecast of the European residential photovoltaic market in the next few years, the European residential photovoltaic and energy storage market will grow by more than 400% by 2025. The installed residential energy storage system capacity It will increase from 3GWh in 2020 to 12.8GWh in 2025. The European Photovoltaic Industry Association recently released a survey report on the "European Household Battery Energy Storage Market Outlook" covering 2021-2025. The report analyzes the synergy between household photovoltaics and energy storage systems. The survey shows that in 2020, the number of household solar energy storage installations in Europe has increased by 44% to 140,000. This marks the first time that Europe has installed more than 100,000 household energy storage systems within 12 months, setting a new milestone for the European energy transition. As European countries are in trouble during the recent energy price crisis, the report demonstrates the cost-effectiveness of installing energy storage systems to support household photovoltaics. The cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour of household users who installed household optical storage systems in Germany was 12.2 Euro cents/kWh last year. Germany has the highest proportion of installed battery energy storage systems for household photovoltaics, accounting for 70% of the newly added energy storage capacity in Europe. The five major markets of Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Austria and Switzerland have installed 93% of household optical storage systems in Europe. Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of the European Photovoltaic Industry Association, said: "With the popularity of household photovoltaics, more and more households realize that energy storage systems can maximize the value of household photovoltaic systems. Although Europe is increasingly receiving The impact of energy price shocks related to natural gas, but photovoltaic and energy storage systems are clear answers to energy price fluctuations." Hemetsberger continued, “The combination of photovoltaics and energy storage is the key to achieving EU climate neutrality by 2050. It will not only enable the EU to increase the generation of renewable energy, but also importantly, photovoltaics and energy storage will be at their peak. Homes and businesses provide reliable, clean, and cost-effective energy. Energy policymakers must recognize this huge potential and highlight the characteristics of distributed energy storage when revising the national energy and climate plan." And Michael Schmela, Director of Market Intellig...

According to Energypress, Greece is preparing for a mixed tender for a 600 MW wind and solar project in March 2022. The project will be supported by Greece's 2.27 billion euros (2.57 billion US dollars) national assistance program. The upcoming round of bidding plans is expected to be officially announced at the end of this year. The proposed capacity will be allocated in the onshore wind power and photovoltaic (PV) plans, but the specific goals of the two types of plans are still unclear. According to the report, if a sufficient number of new projects reach the maturity level, the quota may increase. The funds granted for the production capacity will be paid from Greece's national assistance program to support the generation of renewable energy and high-efficiency combined heat and power (CHP) power plants. The European Commission (EC) approved the plan last week. The project will be open until 2025 and will fund approximately 4.2 GW of installed capacity through a 20-year contract. An unnamed source told Energypress that about 3 GW of the total power generation comes from onshore wind and solar power. It is speculated that the plan will support 1 gigawatt of renewable energy projects in 2022. (1.0 Euro = 1.132 USD)
