Owning a solar energy system is a brilliant way to gain energy independence, but it can be frustrating when the screen goes blank or a red light starts flashing. Read More

Choosing a Solar Inverter is one of the most significant decisions you will make during your solar journey. Read More

In Q1 2026, China’s PV and energy storage exports to the Middle East saw explosive growth, dominated by long-term orders, making the region China’s second-largest PV export market. Driven by local energy transition policies, rising power demand and energy security needs, Chinese firms have shifted from equipment sales to deep participation in local energy systems. Yet challenges such as harsh environment, localization rules and geopolitical risks exist, marking China’s PV global expansion from scale competition to capability competition. Read More

In March 2026, two mandatory Chinese national standards for PV modules were opened for public comment to end the industry’s involution. Faced with widespread quality issues—including false power ratings and corner-cutting—caused by price wars, the new rules strictly limit power tolerance, strengthen safety requirements, and set a 6–12 month transition period. They will eliminate substandard capacity and force a shift from price to quality and technology competition, driving high-quality industry development. Read More

March 2026 sees the photovoltaic industry in a deep downturn. Silicon material and wafer prices continue to fall, with some products dropping below cash costs, creating a vicious cycle of price declines and sluggish demand. The core problems are severe overcapacity and high inventory levels. Although upstream operating rates have dropped to 35.5%, production cuts have not stabilized prices. Both domestic and overseas demand remain weak. To meet the April 1st export tax rebate deadline, the industry chain has increased production temporarily, but this has not boosted terminal demand. The spread of reverse OEM models hides real supply-demand contradictions, and intense industry competition makes capacity reduction challenging. The sector is undergoing significant restructuring.

SpaceX unveiled its 100kW space AI computing power satellite on March 22, 2026. With plans to deploy millions of such satellites, it will drive a surging demand for high-performance photovoltaic modules. Traditional gallium arsenide cells face constraints in cost and capacity, making P-type heterojunction (HJT) cells the optimal short-to-medium term solution due to their ultra-thin mass production, radiation resistance, and lower cost. China leads globally in HJT-related equipment, ultra-thin wafers, and aerospace-grade packaging materials. As SpaceX scales up, China's industrial chain is poised to dominate space photovoltaics, with tens of billions of yuan in equipment purchases and ongoing industrial orders. Read More
