[SMM PV News] 'EPPO' Probes Solar Subsidy Fraud in Slovenia

Recently, Jinko Solar officially signed a 500MW Tiger Neo 3.0 high-efficiency module supply agreement with its core strategic distribution partner in South Korea. This batch of modules will fully enter South Korea's commercial, industrial, and residential distributed market. As the leader in shipments among non-local brands in the South Korean PV module market, Jinko Solar is once again strengthening its presence in South Korea with the new-generation Tiger Neo 3.0 modules, delivering a definitive solution for higher power generation returns for distributed users in South Korea through ultimate high efficiency, high power, outstanding low-light performance, and industry-leading anti-shading capabilities.

At 23:08 on 24 May 2026, the Shenzhou-23 manned spacecraft was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. The flight crew comprises Zhu Yangzhu, Zhang Zhiyuan, and Li Jiaying. The Shenzhou-23 mission will stay in orbit for approximately six months, rotating with the Shenzhou-21 crew, and will carry out experiments on space life sciences, microgravity physics, and perovskite cells, as well as multiple extravehicular activities. Perovskite cells are third-generation PV cells that use perovskite-structured semiconductor thin films as the light-absorbing layer, directly converting light energy into electrical energy. They feature low cost, ultra-thin and ultra-light design, and high efficiency, and are regarded as the new energy technology most likely to achieve industrialisation. This space experiment will provide efficiency degradation curves under space conditions, and will test and verify the radiation resistance stability and extreme temperature cycling adaptability of perovskite cells.

[European Energy Giant OX2 Enters Australia: 135MW Solar-Plus-Storage Project Officially Commences Construction] Swedish independent power producer (IPP) OX2 has announced the commencement of its Muswellbrook solar-plus-storage project in New South Wales, Australia. Covering an area of approximately 482 hectares, the project will construct a 135MWac solar power plant complemented by a 100MW-class battery energy storage system (BESS). The project is situated on a former coal mine site and forms part of Australia's Hunter Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone (REZ). By utilizing existing transmission infrastructure to connect to the grid, the project will help lower grid-connection development costs and alleviate the network access pressures commonly faced by new energy projects.
