CHN Energy has fully commissioned its 4 GW Lingwu PV project in Ningxia, following the grid connection of its Phase II 2 GW section. Part of a massive 6 GW mining-subsidence base, the site will deliver 10.8 TWh annually to the east via the 800 kV Ningxia-Zhejiang UHVDC line.

The project pioneers a 'solar-coal-storage-hydrogen' model, bundling PV with existing thermal assets and a 400 MW/800 MWh grid-forming storage system to smooth variability. By repurposing degraded coal lands, integrating 'PV + ecology' for vegetation recovery, and sharing an existing 750 kV coal plant substation, the base sets a benchmark for land reuse and long-distance clean energy transmission in western China.

[SMM PV Flash] Comstock Moves US Solar-Panel Recycling Line to Continuous 24/7 Operations

Comstock Metals announced on 22 September that its solar-panel recycling system in Silver Springs, Nevada, had moved to continuous 24-hour, seven-day operations, advancing from equipment integration and commissioning into continuous production. One line is designed to process up to approximately 100,000 tonnes, or around 3.3 million end-of-life modules, annually while separating aluminium, glass and silicon- and metal-bearing materials under a zero-landfill model. The 100,000-tonne figure is rated design capacity rather than current output, and the company remains in the process of ramping production in line with customer volumes.
