Maxeon Solar Technologies and Tongwei have settled a global patent dispute over shingled solar cell and module technologies, ending litigation initiated by Maxeon in Germany
9 hours ago Like any other energy project, solar projects require building permits, environmental studies, and grid connection agreements.
Solar panels used widely across Ireland were sourced from companies linked to forced labour and environmental devastation in the Xinjiang region of China.
At the beginning of 2025, the patent war in the photovoltaic industry has not subsided, but has intensified globally, with industry giants such as Trina Solar (688599), JinkoSolar (688223),
Thin-film solar panels are manufactured using materials that are strong light absorbers, suitable for solar power generation. According to the International Energy Agency
Long-standing geopolitical disputes between the USA, Europe, and China over solar trade and industrial policy have been fiercely rekindled [6, 7]. After years of solely relying
The European Union has launched investigations into two groups of companies that include Chinese solar panel makers in the latest salvo against what it suspects is unfair
These mounting disputes present significant challenges for solar companies, threatening their reputation and creating potential legal risks, but also tarnishing the entire
These mounting disputes present significant challenges for solar companies, threatening their reputation and creating potential legal risks,
The solar manufacturing industry continues to witness an increasing number of patent disputes, with major players such as LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., JinkoSolar
The photovoltaic power generation is commonly used renewable power generation in the world but the solar cells performance decreases with increasing of panel
The European photovoltaic container market is experiencing significant growth in Central and Eastern Europe, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past four years. Containerized solar solutions now account for approximately 45% of all temporary and mobile solar installations in the region. Poland leads with 40% market share in the CEE region, driven by construction site power needs, remote industrial operations, and emergency power applications that have reduced energy costs by 55-65% compared to diesel generators. The average system size has increased from 30kW to over 200kW, with folding container designs cutting transportation costs by 70% compared to traditional solutions. Emerging technologies including bifacial modules and integrated energy management have increased energy yields by 20-30%, while modular designs and local manufacturing have created new economic opportunities across the solar container value chain. Typical containerized projects now achieve payback periods of 3-5 years with levelized costs below $0.08/kWh.
Containerized energy storage solutions are revolutionizing power management across Europe's industrial and commercial sectors. Mobile 20ft and 40ft BESS containers now provide flexible, scalable energy storage with deployment times reduced by 75% compared to traditional stationary installations. Advanced lithium-ion technologies (LFP and NMC) have increased energy density by 35% while reducing costs by 30% annually. Intelligent energy management systems now optimize charging/discharging cycles based on real-time electricity pricing, increasing ROI by 45-65%. Safety innovations including advanced thermal management and integrated fire suppression have reduced risk profiles by 85%. These innovations have improved project economics significantly, with commercial and industrial energy storage projects typically achieving payback in 2-4 years through peak shaving, demand charge reduction, and backup power capabilities. Recent pricing trends show standard 20ft containers (200kWh-800kWh) starting at €85,000 and 40ft containers (800kWh-2MWh) from €160,000, with flexible financing including lease-to-own and energy-as-a-service models available.
