The Central Electricity Board (CEB) of Mauritius has issued a tender for a turnkey project to install grid-tied, roof-mounted hybrid solar systems on public buildings across Rodrigues Island. Funded jointly by the Green Climate Fund and the Mauritian government, the project aims for a cumulative capacity of 2 MW with individual installations ranging from 5 kW to 50 kW, and includes an optional component for up to 1 MWh of modular battery energy storage. While interested developers must submit their bids by February 2, 2026, the CEB has separately warned that all existing unauthorized solar systems in Mauritius must be registered by January 15, 2026, to avoid disconnection from the grid, which currently supports 168.5 MW of operational solar capacity.

[SMM PV] Exports Grew 267%! PV Export Orders Full Production Schedule

Customs data show that China's cumulative PV product exports from January to April 2026 were up about 43% YoY, as foreign demand remained strong despite the cancellation of export tax rebates for PV products from April 1. Especially in the Southeast Asian market, in April this year, monthly module exports were up 267% YoY. Industry insiders believe that global new PV installations will remain above 500 GW in 2026, and that, while seizing the global new energy transition, China's PV enterprises are accelerating technological upgrades and structural optimization to achieve a shift from scale expansion to quality and efficiency improvement.

[SMM PV] "PV+ESS Integration" Takes Center Stage

At the just-concluded SNEC exhibition last week, the hall layout saw a historic shift: the number of energy storage themed halls surpassed that of solar cell and module halls for the first time, and "PV+ESS integration" has moved from concept to the spotlight. LONGi made its debut in a fully integrated PV+ESS exhibition form, unveiling the "full-stack LONGi" strategy; Jinko Solar designated 2026 as the first year of energy storage volume ramp-up, having already secured approximately 5 GWh of energy storage orders; Trinasolar, JA Solar Technology, and others all showcased full‑stack energy storage solutions. After the mandatory energy storage allocation policy was phased out, energy storage shifted from a "compliance burden" into an asset that must generate profits on its own. Enterprises are no longer satisfied with "selling panels" but are turning to "selling systems" — PV companies are collectively transforming from pure manufacturers into integrated energy service providers.
