ortuguese energy group Galp Energia SGPS SA has commenced construction of 74 MW/147 MWh battery storage systems across Spain and Portugal, while activating two solar farms in Spain.

Portuguese energy group Galp Energia SGPS SA has commenced construction of 74 MW/147 MWh battery storage systems across Spain and Portugal, while activating two solar farms in Spain. The battery installations will connect to existing solar facilities at Alcoutim, Portugal (60.5 MW/120.4 MWh across four units) and Manzanares, Spain (13.4 MW/26.8 MWh), raising Galp's total operational storage capacity to 79 MW/158 MWh.

China's Sungrow is supplying PowerTitan 2.0 battery systems featuring grid-forming inverter technology. These units will store excess solar generation during daylight hours for dispatch during evening peak periods. The Portuguese installations receive partial funding through the EU's REPowerEU initiative.

Galp's grid-certified control center will manage real-time system operations and enable participation in ancillary service markets.

[SMM PV] China's silicon-based perovskite tandem cell mass-production line was put into operation, with PV conversion efficiency surpassing 31.2%

On June 12, a leading PV enterprise officially commenced production of a new-generation perovskite tandem cell line, achieving a stable mass-production conversion efficiency of 31.2%, significantly surpassing the theoretical limit of traditional crystalline silicon cells. By improving encapsulation solutions, the enterprise resolved the perovskite degradation issue, enabling module outdoor service life to reach 30 years. Large wind and solar power bases in western China have already secured initial procurement intentions. The adoption of this new technology will reduce the levelized cost of PV power generation over the long term, driving rising demand for high-end PV auxiliary materials and encapsulation films.

[SMM PV] The Era of Homogeneous Competition in PV Has Come to an End

Jinko Solar stated that the stage of global product homogenization in the PV industry has come to an end. Vice President Qian Jing noted that the model of a single standardized module sweeping the global market no longer exists. In 2026, Jinko Solar has set its module shipment target at 75–85 GW and unveiled its flagship product, the Feihu 5 module, tailored for six major application scenarios, with a mass production efficiency of 25.91%. Furthermore, the enterprise regards AIDC computing-power synergy as the core growth direction for the next three to five years. It has successfully won the bid for the world's largest PV+ESS integration AIDC project in the Middle East and will provide 2 GW of PV modules for this project.
