Recently, Astronergy’s ASTRO N n-type TOPCon PV modules have passed the rigorous UVID tests, with a degradation rate of only 0.7% under the UV60 exposure, which reflects the outstanding reliability of the company’s module products to guarantee long-term stable power generation! Based on RETC's PV Module Index Report 2024, UVID remains one of the significant challenges to module reliability in the industry. As a Tier-1 PV module manufacturer, Astronergy has made many efforts to improve UVID performance, providing our clients with reliable and top-quality PV modules. By optimizing the structure of the cell passivation film layer, Astronergy adopts industry-leading thin film deposition technology to effectively improve the densification of the film layer. The adoption of this technology will result in a thicker and higher-precision Aluminum Oxide (ALO)film layer, making the silicon wafers free of winding plating. Meanwhile, combined with the LIF (laser induced firing) tech, the UV resistance of the film layer is effectively enhanced. UVID refers to the performance degradation of PV modules under ultraviolet irradiation. If modules are exposed to sunlight for a long time, the UV rays in the sunlight will not only shorten the lifespan of encapsulation materials, but also affect the structure of passivation layers on the cell surface and destroy the Si-H bonds, thus affecting the effect of interfacial passivation and leading to the decline in the power generation. In the rigorous UVID testing, Astronergy's ASTRO N n-type TOPCon PV modules have demonstrated exceptional performance, with a degradation rate of merely 0.7% after exposure to 60 kWh/m2 of UV60. Even after enduring the more extreme UV120 exposure, ASTRO N n-type TOPCon PV modules achieved a degradation rate of only 1.2%. The testing results are 4 and 8 times higher than the conventional UV15 certification standard, respectively. Moreover, through continuous exploration and innovation, Astronergy has developed a cell UV monitoring system. It’s useful to identify the impact of new cell types and processes on UVID performance, thereby providing a more effective means of monitoring product quality, guaranteeing higher reliability continuously. By leveraging TOPCon 4.0 cell technology, rectangular silicon wafers, SMBB, and other advanced technologies, ASTRO N n-type TOPCon PV modules offer higher efficiency, reliability, and lower LCOE. They ensure that after 30 years of output, the power will not drop below 87.4%.  In the future, Astronergy will stay committed to technological innovation, providing module products with superior durability and reliability.

by Simone CesárioPress Office for SolaX Power The multinational leader in solar storage solutions, SolaX Power, and the largest manufacturer of photovoltaic generators in the North and Northeast, Sou Energy, have just announced a partnership that aims to boost the energy storage market. According to data from ANEEL, approximately 30% of all installed power in the country is installed in the North and Northeast regions, which gives this market enormous growth potential. In addition to this scenario, the expected increase in the cost of Fio B – the tariff that aims to cover the costs of using the energy distribution network – also tends to boost the sale of batteries for energy storage. For the executive director of SolaX Power in Brazil , Giberto Camargos, “some factors make this region very promising to embrace this demand for battery and inverter solutions, for example, the potential for solar energy production, which allows the surplus of this energy to be stored for consumption in times such as blackouts or interruptions in supply by the concessionaire. This way, consumers will not suffer the impacts of this lack of supply, will have energy independence and a more sustainable lifestyle”, emphasizes the executive. And since this is a segment that is still in its infancy in Brazil, partnerships with solid and recognized companies in the market are essential for Brazilians to be able to learn about and have this storage possibility even closer. “Sou Energy, in addition to being one of the most recognized Brazilian companies in the sector, is responsible for launching trends in solar energy equipment in the market, which is why we believe that this partnership will boost the entire chain in this promising region, in addition to making solutions more accessible to these consumers”, concludes Gilberto. Sou Energy currently operates as a manufacturing industry - in addition to assembling generators, it manufactures its own fixing structure, both for roofs and ground. The company is present nationwide, but with a greater presence in the North and Northeast regions. “The partnership with SolaX came at a very opportune time, since by 2029 we should have the highest cost of wire B, which makes the use of batteries even more viable. Once you can generate your own energy and store it at home at the same cost as you produced it and then use it, it no longer makes sense to generate this energy and feed it into the power grid. This is because, when you use it, it will be worth less than when it was fed into the grid. We believe that the higher the cost of the grid, the greater the opportunity for the use of batteries”, emphasizes Mario Viana, Commercial and Marketing Director at Sou Energy. The director is also optimistic about the future of energy storage. “We believe that this is a market that will explode in the coming years”. Regarding the partnership with SolaX , Sou Energy points out that two major market players working together can leverage the entire storage market, for which integrators need to be one step ahead to be successful. “Brazil is just getting started - we are raising awareness among players, solar energy integrators, about the importance of selling hybrid inverters, regardless of battery use. This way, when the price of batteries drops, they will be able to make a second sale, reserving a market for the future”, he adds. About SolaX Power - A multinational company founded in 2012, headquartered in Hangzhou, China, and with branches in several countries, including the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan and the USA. With over 2,000 employees worldwide, the company is recognized for its research and development: it has over 100 international patents and over 500 market certifications. About Sou Energy - Sou Energy has been in the market since 2017 and is among the three largest manufacturers of photovoltaic generators in the country.

Katy, Texas, Sept. 11, 2024 – DNV, the independent energy expert and assurance provider, today launched a new service to provide solar photovoltaic developers actionable, verified assessments of large hail risk across North America. DNV has partnered with Jupiter Intelligence, the trusted leader in climate risk analytics, to leverage its gold standard climate science for a first of its kind, robust statistical approach to evaluating hail risk due to climate change, both today and in the future.  Extreme hail events have caused hundreds of millions of dollars of damage at solar PV projects in North America, even in areas historically less prone to hailstorms. It is estimated that in Texas alone there has been more than $600 million dollars of damage due to hail in the past two to three years. The increase in resulting damage, as well as new uncertainty about hail-prone areas, has precipitated changes to insurance policies and threatens the financial viability of solar projects in these regions.  A leading scientific viewpoint expects hailstorm severity will increase with further climate change. 1 Relying on historical data no longer provides an accurate assessment of hail risk, especially when it comes to the size of the hail and the location of the hailstorms. Recent research on hail patterns indicates that over the last several decades severe hail events are shifting northward in the central and eastern U.S., areas with a high density of installed solar PV. DNV’s new service aims to help the solar industry understand actual hail risk now and over the course of project lifetimes, up to 30 years into the future. It will provide the probability of a hail event for a specific location within the contiguous U.S. as well as the probability of the size of the hail itself, enabling project owners and developers to better anticipate and mitigate risks to their projects.  “Ironically, solar development is now threatened by the thing it is meant to mitigate—climate change—by enabling a transition to clean energy generation,” said Richard S. Barnes, region president, energy systems North America, at DNV . “Understanding and mitigating risks from hailstorms with both technical and financial means will enable the solar industry to continue its current trajectory and take its place as a major source of energy in the future.”  By providing precise, forward-looking data, DNV's new service empowers solar developers and project owners to make informed decisions that protect their investments and ensure long-term viability. As the industry faces the dual challenge of accelerating clean energy deployment while adapting to the very climate changes it seeks to combat, DNV’s research-backed approach offers a path forward — strengthening resilience and securing the role of solar power as a cornerstone of our sustainable energy future.  About DNV  DNV is the independent expert in risk management and assurance, operating in more than 100 countries.
