[SMM PV Express] Risen Energy received a module order worth 10.73 million yuan!

Recently, the phased test results from the outdoor PV empirical study in the desert of Wuwei, Gansu, conducted by the China General Certification Center, were released. Trinasolar's Vertex N-type TOPCon module completed a six-month full comparative test in the extreme wind-blown sand and large temperature difference environment of the Tengger Desert. Leveraging its high bifaciality and excellent low-irradiance response characteristics, the Vertex TOPCon module achieved stable excess power generation, delivering a 2.90% increase in power generation compared to TBC modules. The standardized, authoritative empirical data verified its full lifecycle power generation advantages and reliability in high-reflectivity scenarios at large desert-Gobi-wasteland bases in northwest China, providing a key reference for the selection of high-efficiency modules in China's desert wind and solar power projects.

On July 14, at the 2026 PV+ESS Innovation Technology Launch Event, LONGi Green Energy officially announced that its independently developed crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell has achieved a conversion efficiency of 35.5%, certified by the European Solar Test Installation (ESTI), setting a new world record.

Italy added 8,224 new PV systems totaling 483.66MW in June 2026, alongside 4,656 new energy storage installations, according to Terna. In the first half of 2026, Italy added 3.09GW of solar capacity, while additions over the past 12 months reached 6.72GW, up 16.85% year on year. By the end of June, Italy’s cumulative PV capacity reached 46.61GW, accounting for 53.6% of the country’s total renewable energy capacity. On storage, Italy had 943,729 electrochemical systems paired with renewables by the end of June, with total capacity of 11.94GWh and output of 6.00GW. SMM believes Italy’s PV and behind-the-meter storage markets remain on a growth path, with solar continuing to increase its share in the renewable energy mix.
