【SMM PV News】JinkoSolar Secures 500MW Module Order in South Korea

According to the MIIT, two mandatory national standards, "Safety Requirements for PV Modules" and "Nameplate Marking Requirements for PV Modules," were officially released on May 25, 2026, and will be implemented on June 1, 2027. These standards will play a crucial role in regulating market competition, enhancing product safety compliance, and driving the upgrade of the solar industry.

SpaceX recently submitted a building permit application to Texas, US, planning to build a solar cell manufacturing plant with a total production capacity of 10GW near Austin. The cells produced will be exclusively used to power Starlink satellites and future space AI Data centers. This is a key move in Musk's "space energy closed-loop" strategy, as he previously announced that Tesla and SpaceX will each build 100GW of photovoltaic production capacity in the next three years.

On May 25, international oil prices dropped sharply while precious metals rose sharply. Spot gold broke through $4,570/oz, up more than 1% intraday. Spot silver touched $78/oz, up more than 4%. Since 2026, the silver market has experienced a "roller coaster" trend: after surging to historic highs at the beginning of the year, it pulled back significantly and has since stayed high with wild swings. As the largest industrial demand sector for silver, PV has seen rising penetration rates of high-efficiency cells (TOPCon/HJT/BC) drive up per-unit silver consumption, and the surge in silver prices has become a core cost pressure for PV modules.
