[SMM PV Express] Yingli's first batch of Panda high-efficiency modules arrived smoothly at the Yunnan Baoshan PV project site.

Recently, the first fleet of vehicles loaded with AIKO ABC high-efficiency modules successfully arrived at the Kubuqi Desert base in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, marking the official start of delivery for the first phase of the Jingneng Kubuqi "desert-Gobi-wasteland" large base, a 240 MW ABC PV project. As an important part of the cluster of national desert-Gobi-wasteland clean energy bases in Inner Mongolia, this project is not only a crucial move by Jingneng Group to implement the national large base strategy for new energy, but also another demonstration of AIKO ABC high-efficiency modules supporting the construction of "desert-Gobi-wasteland" large bases with their robust product capabilities under extreme climate conditions. The Kubuqi Desert features high surface reflectivity, large day-night temperature differences, and frequent sandstorms, posing rigorous challenges to the long-term operational reliability and power generation stability of PV modules. As the sole winning bidder, AIKO supplies all 240 MW of ABC bifacial double-glass modules for this project. Leveraging high conversion efficiency, high bifaciality, and excellent low-irradiance performance, AIKO ABC modules can fully harness the reflection gains from the desert surface, boosting power generation capacity per unit area. According to estimates, the project is expected to achieve an average annual equivalent utilization of 1,612.63 hours over its 25-year operational period. Compared with conventional modules, it can save more than 6% land area, reduce BOS costs, and achieve the optimal levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) for the project.

Recently, Hoymiles signed a strategic cooperation memorandum (MOU) with Pakistani energy enterprise Harisun Energy at its Hangzhou headquarters. The two parties will deepen collaboration in residential PV+ESS, small commercial energy applications, channel development, and technical services, empowering local energy transformation with efficient, safe, and intelligent PV+ESS solutions.

SEG Solar has opened a new 4GW solar module assembly plant in Tomball, Texas. Once fully operational next year, the facility will lift SEG’s annual US module assembly capacity to 6GW, together with its existing 2GW plant in nearby Houston. The company also announced plans to build an additional 4.6GW module assembly factory within 18 months across the street from the new Tomball facility, which would raise its total annual capacity to 10.6GW. SEG also plans to build a solar cell manufacturing plant in the US by 2028.
