[SMM PV Flash] Good News! Three More Canadian Solar Inc. Factories Selected as 2026 Jiangsu Province Advanced-Level Intelligent Factories

The team led by Academician Li Yongfang and Researcher Meng Lei at the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently successfully fabricated high-performance perovskite–organic tandem solar cells, achieving a steady-state photoelectric conversion efficiency of 28.04% and marking a key step toward practical application. The result has been published in the international academic journal *Nature*. Perovskite–organic tandem solar cells are constructed by stacking a wide-bandgap perovskite subcell and a narrow-bandgap organic subcell in series, allowing them to absorb sunlight across different wavelength bands and thus break the efficiency limit of single-junction solar cells. The efficiency improvement of such cells has long been hindered by issues such as large voltage loss in the wide-bandgap perovskite front subcell and insufficient stability. To address the efficiency challenge, the research team proposed a “full-stage regulation” strategy, designing and introducing photoconvertible additive molecules that promote uniform mixing of perovskite components, bind more firmly to the perovskite surface, and effectively suppress phase segregation under illumination.

On July 31, a supplementary allocation notice for the public selection of investment and development entities for the second batch of 2025 new energy projects in Qiubei County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province was released. The second batch of 2025 new energy projects for which investment and development entities were selected this time included 4 projects, with a total installed capacity of 290 MW, set as one section. Among them, there were 3 PV projects with a combined capacity of 230 MW and 1 wind power project with a capacity of 60 MW.

Previously, JA Solar Technology upgraded and launched the 'Blue Desert' professional PV module, specifically designed for the harsh desert-Gobi-wasteland environment. Recent empirical data shows that the power generation per watt of this module increased by 2.56% (Tengger Desert) and 3.98% (Ulan Buh Desert) compared to conventional modules. The upgraded module, through three major technological innovations—nano-scale self-cleaning coating, open-type steel frame, and UV light conversion film (optional)—achieves self-cleaning by wind and rain, self-repairing against wind and sand, and converts harmful UV light into visible light to combat degradation and enhance efficiency. Based on the DeepBlue 5.0 platform, this module reaches a maximum power of 670W, aiming to reduce the cleaning and operation and maintenance costs of desert-Gobi-wasteland power stations and achieve deep integration with the desert ecosystem.
