Tech giant Amazon has announced nine new renewable energy power purchase agreements (PPAs) in Australia totalling 430MW, with eight projects featuring solar generation co-located with battery energy storage systems (BESS).

The first hurdle is the interplay of technologies themselves. The core advantage of lithium-ion batteries is their high energy density. But this very advantage also puts them inherently in a tug-of-war between efficiency and safety.

As batteries continuously strive for higher energy density, their internal stability is compromised. Once exposed to overcharging, short circuits, external impacts, or high temperatures, the internal temperature of the cell rises rapidly, triggering a series of irreversible exothermic reactions—what the industry calls "thermal runaway."

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) have developed the world’s first comprehensive map of ultraviolet (UV) radiation for solar modules.

UNSW said that the research reveals that current industry testing standards may be dramatically underestimating real-world UV exposure and potentially shortening the lifespan of next-generation solar technologies by up to a decade.

Starting April 1st, export tax rebates for photovoltaic (PV) products will be officially cancelled, marking the end of the long-standing era of PV subsidies.

According to Announcement No. 2 of 2026 issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Taxation Administration on January 9th, starting April 1st this year, the VAT export tax rebate rate for 249 PV products, including solar cells, modules, and doped silicon wafers, will be reduced from 9% to 0%. The rebate rate for battery products will be cancelled in two phases: first reduced to 6%, and then completely cancelled from January 1st, 2027, allowing companies time to adapt.

Solar power has saved EU countries over €110 million (US$127.5 million) a day since the outbreak of war in the Middle East, according to analysis from trade body SolarPower Europe.

Predicting the value of PV equipment in two decades time is one of the key difficulties of estimating costs of retiring a solar plant.PV recycling capacity in Europe is lagging behind forecast waste volumes over the coming decades, according to a new study.

Rigorous factory testing and streamlined packaging mark the final stage before global shipment, underscoring SUNROVER’s commitment to quality and innovation.

Early on the morning of the 19th local time, Iran launched the 63rd round of Operation True Commitment-4, carrying out large-scale missile retaliation against oil facilities in the region and confirming that the Qatar LNG hub had been hit and damaged. Iran clearly stated that if the attacks continue, it will expand the scope of the strikes until all enemy energy infrastructure is completely destroyed.

According to data from Intertek CEA, the current price increase of solar photovoltaic modules is mainly affected by the following five key factors: silver, polysilicon, glass, water and energy, and aluminum.

HEFEI, China – In a significant milestone marking its global expansion, SUNROVER welcomed its first international customer to China in early 2026. The multi-day visit provided an in-depth look at the company’s unique vertically integrated business model, highlighting its capability to manufacture, install, and now export high-efficiency solar solutions worldwide.
