[SMM PV News] RayGen Deploys 1 MW Solar and Thermal Storage System in Brazil
Melbourne-based RayGen has fully commissioned a 1 MW concentrated solar and long-duration thermal energy storage system in Petrolina, Brazil, in partnership with Axia Energia. The facility utilizes RayGen's 'PV Ultra' technology, which uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto modules while capturing heat in a water-based storage system. This design achieves a 70% round-trip efficiency. Axia is testing the technology for potential large-scale deployment to help power 'AI factories.' RayGen already operates a commercial facility in Australia and is currently advancing a 200 MW/1,200 MWh utility-scale project in South Australia.

[SMM PV News] JinkoSolar Terminates Vietnam Solar Cell Project Amid 'US' Tariffs
JinkoSolar's Hai Ha solar cell project in Vietnam was officially terminated on March 11 following the company's request to halt development. The facility, originally planned for 4 GW of cell and 3 GW of module capacity with a revised investment of $294.2 million, had its investment certificate revoked. The decision was primarily driven by the 'US' Department of Commerce imposing steep antidumping duties (over 120%) on Vietnamese 'PV' cells in June 2025, worsening the economics of exporting. Despite this cancellation, JinkoSolar is not fully withdrawing from Vietnam and maintains around 10 GW of integrated n-type capacity. The company is reportedly pivoting its global strategy toward other markets like the Middle East and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

Italy's energy regulator 'ARERA' has issued a favorable opinion to the Ministry of the Environment and Energy Security, backing grid operator Terna's proposal to set a 16 GWh target for the 2029 'MACSE' storage capacity auction. While endorsing the transmission system operator's overall strategy, 'ARERA' stressed the need for a prudent approach. The regulator advised that the actual auction volumes must account for evolving market dynamics, specifically any storage capacity that comes online or is procured via the capacity market between the proposed timeline and the official publication of the auction volumes.
