In its latest report, "The Road to Net-Zero Carbon: 2030 Solar and Energy Storage Transformation White Paper," InfoLink Consulting provides an in-depth analysis of global renewable energy trends and challenges. The white paper focuses on three major markets: China, the United States, and Europe (EU + UK), offering detailed market analysis and future outlooks to help industries grasp key insights and accelerate the journey to achieving net-zero emissions. Under the Paris Agreement, countries committed to limiting global temperature rise to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with efforts to cap it at 1.5°C. Achieving these goals requires significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, with the energy sector currently responsible for 35% of global emissions—the largest source. InfoLink estimates that to meet the 1.5°C scenario by 2030, around 8.5 TW of renewable energy capacity is needed, while the 2°C scenario requires 5 TW. According to InfoLink’s latest data, global renewable energy installations are expected to exceed 10 TW by 2030, potentially fulfilling the requirements for both scenarios. However, there remains a shortfall of approximately 2.5 TW to meet the 1°C target. In 2023, the renewable energy sector saw remarkable growth, driven by favorable policies and technological advancements, with installations of solar, wind, and energy storage hitting record highs. Despite political and financial challenges, InfoLink remains optimistic about the sector’s future. The U.S. market has significantly benefited from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which offers subsidies for solar, wind, and energy storage, dramatically lowering the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and boosting capacity growth. However, trade barriers are expected to impact supply and installation speed. In Europe, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused natural gas and electricity prices to surge since early 2022, leading to a spike in renewable energy installations in 2023. Under the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECP), European countries have set ambitious goals, with annual solar installations expected to grow steadily, reaching nearly 140 GW in new installations per year by 2030. The REPowerEU initiative’s 600 GW target is also likely to be met earlier than anticipated, between 2026 and 2027, with cumulative installations potentially exceeding 1,000 GW by 2030. The European energy storage market is also set for significant growth. Driven by energy reform policies and subsidies, front-of-the-meter (FTM) storage is expected to outpace behind-the-meter (BTM) installations. Key markets like the UK, Italy, and Germany will continue to expand, while emerging markets such as Belgium, Greece, and Spain are poised for growth. InfoLink projects that cumulative energy storage capacity will reach 500 GWh by 2030. While renewable energy's contribution to electricity production is expected to increase both in quantity and proportion, ongoing geopolitical ...

In recent years, due to the aging and poor management of the power generation facilities of the state-owned power company ESKOM, South Africa is facing a worsening power crisis. Long-term large-scale power rationing has caused serious losses to the country's economy. Against this background, South Africa has turned its attention to renewable energy including photovoltaics. South Africa's photovoltaic policy and market overview According to ESKOM's data, by the end of 2023, South Africa's cumulative photovoltaic installed capacity will be about 7.3 GW, of which distributed projects account for about 5 GW and centralized projects account for about 2.3 GW. In order to fill the gradually widening power gap, the South African government has proposed a series of policies to promote the development of photovoltaics. First, let's look at distributed projects. From March 2023 to March 2024, the South African government implemented tax breaks for household photovoltaics. As long as photovoltaic modules above 275 W are installed, a tax rebate of up to 25% can be received, and each person can get a maximum tax rebate of 15,000 rand (about US$795). In addition, in August 2023, South Africa issued the Energy Bounce Back Scheme (EBB), where households and small and medium-sized enterprises can apply to banks for loans of up to 300,000 rand (about 15,900 US dollars) and 10 million rand (about 530,000 US dollars) respectively, for the installation of photovoltaic modules, energy storage batteries and other equipment. In terms of centralized projects, South Africa began to implement the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) in 2011, which is the main source of centralized installations in South Africa. As of 2023, six rounds of bidding have been completed. The latest seventh round of bidding was originally expected to end in April 2024. However, at the end of May 2024, the government announced that the deadline for bidding will be postponed to August. On the other hand, South Africa also provides tax breaks for large-scale renewable energy projects. For investment projects from March 2023 to March 2025, companies can apply for a tax rebate of up to 125% on capital expenditures in the first year. In general, due to large-scale power restrictions and rising electricity prices, supplemented by policy support, South Africa's photovoltaic installations are mainly distributed projects for self-generation and self-use. In 2023, South Africa will add 2.5 GW of distributed installations, compared with 1.7 GW in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 47%. In contrast, South Africa's centralized installations have stagnated. Taking the fifth round of REIPPPP tendered in 2021 as an example, many projects were originally planned to be connected to the grid in 2023, but due to lengthy financing and administrative processes, they were forced to postpone their production until after 2024. In addition, ESKOM's insufficient absorption capacity is als...

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan, an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people' s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork. Besides, the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice).  Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year. With the changes of the times, the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house.  Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past, it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage. Our holiday period is from June.8th to June.10th. If you want to inquire about our products, you are welcome to leave us a message and we will reply to you as soon as possible.

Photovoltaic is an industry with a very high degree of marketization, and market-oriented means are more suitable for promoting the development of the industry. This is also one of the reasons why China's photovoltaic industry leads the world today. As an indispensable force in the global photovoltaic market, the advantages of Chinese photovoltaic companies will not disappear in an instant. Chinese photovoltaic companies look forward to fair and reasonable trade relations and continue to contribute Chinese solutions to the development of the global green industry. Recently, the dynamic changes in the market value rankings of global photovoltaic listed companies have attracted the attention of the international market. According to Bloomberg, on May 17, the market value of First Solar, a US photovoltaic module manufacturer, surpassed Sungrow Power Supply to become the world's most valuable photovoltaic company. As of May 24, First Solar's market value was approximately US$26.7 billion (approximately RMB 193.7 billion), Sungrow Power Supply ranked second with a market value of RMB 150.2 billion, and Longi Green Energy Technology ranked third with a market value of RMB 142.2 billion. This is the first time since 2018 that a US photovoltaic company has topped the global photovoltaic company market value list. For a time, there were mixed voices in the international market that "Chinese photovoltaic companies suffered a Waterloo and their competitiveness declined." However, in fact, the market value of American photovoltaic companies represented by First Solar has jumped, relying on American trade protectionism, which is to impose tariffs on China while providing subsidies to local manufacturers. Chinese photovoltaic companies are not afraid of competition. Photovoltaic is an industry with a very high degree of marketization, and market-oriented means are more suitable for promoting the development of the industry. This is also one of the reasons why China's photovoltaic industry leads the world today.

          Germany, a global leader in renewable energy, saw a notable shift in its solar photovoltaic (PV) landscape in February 2024. According to data released by the Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur), the country added 1.07GW of solar PV capacity during the month. While maintaining its operation at the gigawatt scale, this figure represents a significant decrease of nearly 25% compared to the previous month.          The cumulative installed PV capacity in Germany reached an impressive 84.88GW by the end of February, underscoring the nation's steadfast commitment to sustainable energy solutions. However, the decline in new installations raises questions about the factors influencing this trend. Among the newly added PV capacity, rooftop solar projects supported by EEG funding accounted for a substantial portion, totaling 447.1MW. This indicates ongoing support for decentralized solar generation, a key component of Germany's energy transition strategy. Conversely, unsubsidized ground-mounted projects witnessed a remarkable surge, reaching 383.1MW in February. This growth suggests increased competitiveness and attractiveness of solar investments in the commercial and utility-scale sectors.          In this context, companies like UISOLAR have played a significant role in facilitating solar PV installations across various terrains. As a manufacturer of solar PV mounting systems for ground, roof, tin roof, pitched tile roof, and carports for over 15 years, UISOLAR has been at the forefront of providing innovative solutions to meet the diverse needs of solar projects in Germany and beyond. UISOLAR's commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction has contributed to the success of numerous solar installations, supporting Germany's transition towards renewable energy sources.          Furthermore, the Federal Network Agency's announcement of auction results for rooftop solar and sound barrier solar installations sheds light on the evolving dynamics of the solar market.

Recently, the "Renewable Energy 2023" annual market report released by the International Energy Agency shows that the global new installed capacity of renewable energy in 2023 will increase by 50% compared with 2022, and the installed capacity will grow faster than at any time in the past 30 years. . The report predicts that global renewable energy installed capacity will usher in a period of rapid growth in the next five years, but key issues such as financing in emerging and developing economies still need to be solved. Renewable energy will become the most important source of electricity by early 2025 The report is the first comprehensive assessment of global renewable energy development trends by the International Energy Agency since the conclusion of the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28). The report shows that the world's newly installed renewable energy capacity will reach 510 GW in 2023. The International Energy Agency predicts that under existing policies and market conditions, global renewable energy installed capacity is expected to reach 7,300 GW between 2023 and 2028. By early 2025, renewable energy will become the world's leading source of electricity. The report predicts that wind and solar power will account for 95% of new renewable energy power generation in the next five years. By 2024, total wind and solar power generation will surpass hydropower; wind and solar power will surpass nuclear power in 2025 and 2026 respectively. The share of wind and solar power generation will double by 2028, reaching a combined 25%. Global biofuels have also ushered in a golden development period. In 2023, biofuels will be gradually promoted in the aviation field and begin to replace more highly polluting fuels. Taking Brazil as an example, biofuel production capacity growth in 2023 will be 30% faster than the average over the past five years. The International Energy Agency believes that governments around the world are paying more and more attention to providing affordable, safe and low-emission energy supply, and stronger policy guarantees are the main driving force for the renewable energy industry to achieve milestone development. Achieving growth targets still requires more policy and financing support “Although the world is moving towards the goal set by COP28 to triple global installed renewable energy capacity by 2030, under current policy and market conditions, renewable energy growth is not fast enough to achieve this goal. ” said Fatih Birol, Director of the International Energy Agency. The International Energy Agency report believes that the global development of renewable energy is unbalanced, especially the slow development of hydrogen energy and bioenergy. Taking hydrogen energy as an example, although many green hydrogen energy projects have been launched in the past 10 years, due to factors such as slow investment progress and high production costs, it is expected ...

On November 29, more than 400 solar industry companies in Europe launched a joint appeal urging policymakers to stop trade investigations that may lead to the EU imposing tariffs on imported solar products. The call comes ahead of a meeting on Friday between solar industry chiefs, national ministers and EU Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton to review measures to bring production back to Europe. Walburga Hemetsberger, CEO of SolarPower Europe, the European photovoltaic industry association, said: "Ahead of Friday's industry roundtable, we received worrying signals that the measures will include an investigation into import and export restrictions." European solar power companies participating in the joint call said signatories include 18 manufacturers and 28 national associations and research institutions. All parties agreed that tariff restrictions should not include imported photovoltaic products. The EU's goal is for the EU's installed solar capacity to reach 600 GW by 2030, approximately three times that of 2022, and deployment needs to be significantly accelerated. The group said tariffs would only slow the process. They also expressed support for restructuring some solar manufacturing to meet the EU's target of 30GW of production capacity by 2025. Previously, the EU set restrictions on the import of Chinese solar panels, cells and silicon wafers from 2013 to 2018. Now, more than 90% of silicon wafers and components come from China. The EU has launched a countervailing investigation into Chinese electric vehicles and will review foreign subsidies in the wind power industry to ensure that clean technology manufacturing takes place in Europe and reduce dependence on China.

Recently, Tim Buckley, director of the Australian think tank Climate Energy Finance (CEF), said that by the end of 2024 or 2025, solar module prices may reach the threshold of $0.10 per watt. “This would significantly exceed the $0.10 per watt predicted by Dr. Martin Green three years ago.” He added that by the end of the century, new PV installations could already be between 600 gigawatts and 1 terawatt per year. this conclusion. “I am very optimistic about the growth of global PV installations in the coming years. Buckley also pointed out that at a time when investment costs are soaring, the opportunity to invest in deflationary solar is a huge positive, reducing pressure on the cost of living and improving energy security. Buckley said price pressure will increase globally due to the dizzying capacity increases announced by the solar industry, although he questioned the International Energy Agency's (IEA) recent forecasts in its World Energy Outlook 2023. According to the International Energy Agency, by 2025, the global cumulative installed photovoltaic capacity may reach 2 terawatts. "I think it's ridiculous for the IEA to think that the Chinese will only run their brand new factories 35 percent of the time," he added. “If these new capacities were operational for a full year, the IEA data would be expected to understate annual global PV installations by more than 50%. Buckley estimates that solar panel prices will drop 40% this year. "This will give many investors in the United States, India, the European Union and China good reason to pause or reconsider the financial assumptions on which they have announced large-scale capacity expansions," he said. “In contrast, the U.S. and India both have import tariffs on solar modules that are 40% higher than Chinese products, so they are largely insulated from excessive price competition and have also benefited from a 70% cost drop in polysilicon prices last year save.

The Scottish government has said that it has committed to installing between 4GW and 6GW of PV systems by 2030, with the support of industry players. According to a document released by the Scottish government, this commitment is dependent on large-scale PV projects delivering appropriate levels of economic and community benefits. Scottish Renewables, a leading renewable energy lobby group in Scotland, welcomed the news in a press release, and the target will be included in the Scottish government's upcoming energy strategy and just transition plan. Helen Melone, senior policy manager at Scottish Renewables, said in her press release that this commitment from the Scottish government is a goal that the association has been calling for for a long time. But she added that the Scottish government must develop a clear plan with key milestones to show how it will achieve them. This plan should cover targets for commercial rooftop PV systems, domestic rooftop PV systems, and ground-mounted utility-scale PV systems, and it must ensure that Scotland's public sector fully utilizes the PV generation potential of its buildings by 2030, she said. In January, the Scottish Government published a draft Energy Strategy and a Just Transition Plan, which is the country's roadmap for realizing its "climate change ambitions". According to the draft plan, the final version is expected to be published in 2023. Industry media have asked the Scottish Government when the final plan will be published, but have not yet received a response. The draft policy states that the Scottish Government wants to achieve a target of installing 20GW of low-cost renewable energy generation by 2030. However, unlike other renewables such as onshore wind, it does not include a specific PV installation target. The draft foreshadows a final version with these milestones specific to PV systems. According to data published by Scottish Renewables, the cumulative installed onshore wind capacity in Scotland was 9GW as of the first quarter of 2023, accounting for more than half of the total cumulative installed renewable energy capacity of 14GW. This compares to the lowest installed capacity of photovoltaic systems installed at 522MW. However, the Scottish Government's Draft Energy Strategy and Transformation Plan indicate a willingness to increase the installed capacity of PV systems. In this draft, the Scottish Government states, "We see a strong role for photovoltaic (PV) systems and for domestic and commercial PV systems combined with battery storage systems, which has the potential to help reduce consumers' electricity bills." The draft document states that the Climate Emergency Skills Action Plan 2020 to 2025, published by the Scottish Government, establishes a framework for creating and supporting the PV industry workforce. The PV industry workforce reportedly has skills gaps in installation and maintenance. The draft also refers to the target it has set to provide incentives from April 2023 ...

The 134th China Import and Export Fair, also known as Guangzhou Trade Fair, referred to as Canton Fair opening up in Guangzhou on 15th, Oct. Before the opening of the Canton Fair, Guangdong Power Grid, Guangzhou Electric Power Trading Center and Guangdong Electric Power Trading Center actively facilitated to reach a 12 million kilowatt-hour green power cooperation agreement with China Guangdong Nuclear Power New Energy and Guangdong Grid Energy Investment Company respectively, achieving 100% green power for the first time at the Canton Fair. Equivalent to reducing carbon emissions by 7,655 tons. Canton Fair exhibition all halls use green power supply, which is in line with the Canton Fair's green development concept. It not only saves energy and reduces emissions, but also brings a demonstration effect. The relevant person in charge of the China Foreign Trade Center said, since Guangdong launched renewable energy power trading in 2021, the scale of green power trading in Guangdong Province has reached 5.24 billion kilowatt-hour, which is equivalent to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 3.343 million tons, which is equivalent to stopping 1.24 million gasoline cars for one year. It is worth mentioning that compared with the past, the number of traditional advantageous industries participating in green electricity transactions has also increased this year, which were mainly export-oriented, high-tech and other enterprises with demand for green electricity indicators. Through market means, traditional advantageous industries such as home appliances, furniture, and clothing are encouraged and supported to actively participate in green electricity trading, improve green electricity consumption levels, and broaden low-carbon emission. At present, Guangdong Power Grid has initially established a series of operating mechanisms linking green electricity consumption with green financial loans, corporate energy consumption assessment, green factory assessment, zero-carbon park construction, energy rights, etc., forming a response model of "all-employee marketing". As known that solar PV play a crucial role with a wide range of applications in the field of renewable energy.
