Antaisolar officially signed a strategic partnership agreement with Taiyang New Energy, the Industrial and Commercial Photovoltaic Service Provider in China.  The agreement of up to 200MW between both sides was signed upon same goal to build the green energy future for China and mainly acted as a commitment to bring high-quality solar solutions for distributed solar power plant in domestic market. Taiyang New Energy, a company integrating technology research and development, market sales, power station investment, system integration and installation, and technical operation and maintenance. Established in 2017, it focuses on Small and medium distributed photovoltaic sector and serves as the solution provider for Trina Solar in C&I sector. Taiyang New Energy greatly appreciates the quality and variety of solar racking solutions that Antaisolar provides. Antaisolar wide products portfolio fully meet the needs of our customers from commerical to industrial. After the signing agreement, the two parties has positive exchange to look forward to carry out more cooperation in the upcoming three years.

Standards Australia has released a revised standard for solar energy in order to support growing demand and the rapid uptake of solar photovoltaics (PV). The revised standard, AS/NZS 5033:2021, Installation and safety requirements for photovoltaic (PV) arrays, addresses safe practices for consumers and industry professionals. Head of Standards Development at Standards Australia, Roland Terry-Lloyd, said, “With millions of solar PV panel systems being installed across Australia, clear and relevant standards are paramount in supporting safe practice for industry professionals, homeowners and businesses.” The standard sets out general installation and safety requirements for electrical installations of PV arrays, including direct current (DC) array wiring, electrical protection devices, switching and earthing provisions. The standard has been restructured to promote better readability, supporting users in meeting compliance requirements. AS/NZS 5033:2014 will remain current for six months, and after this time it will be superseded by AS/NZS 5033:2021. The updating of requirements for micro inverter installations and DC conditioning units will enable greater use of technology across larger panels, supporting better safety outcomes. Committee El-042 assessed different requirements around the world against Australian conditions, identified achievable safety outcomes, and determined a number of different solutions that industry can choose to best suit their installations. EL-042 Co-Chair, Sandy Atkins, said, “At the time the 2014 standard was written, solar panels were at most 250W per panel, but technology is quickly changing, and it’s not unusual for panels to be greater than 400W. “Therefore, AS/NZS 5033:2014 was limiting for installation professionals. “If you still want to use DC isolators then you can, but if you don’t, the standard allows for other solutions such as disconnection points.” Australia previously had a limitation of 600V for panels for houses but recently aligned with international requirements of 1000V. Additionally, AS/NZS 5033:2021 also aligns with international standard IEC 62548:2016, Photovoltaic (PV) arrays — Design requirements. “Solar is booming worldwide, so it’s important we align with international standards so that the Australian market can use international products and technologies as well,” Mr Atkins said.

Recently, Antaisolar has announced that it has completed the shipment of 38MW of solar bracket to the thermal power enterprise in China. The solar plant is built to actively carried out the clean transformation of traditional power. Based on the traditional thermal energy power plants, these solar photovoltaic power plants, opening a new chapter in green energy development. The 38MW solar plants is comprise of agrivoltaic, solar-fishery hybrid and ground-mounted solar plant. Due to the multiply application scenario, Antaisolar engineering team came to site to conduct a survey and then offer cost-effective solar racking solution according to local condition. Different product portfolio with optimal solar racking design for achieving the transition towards green energy. Fishery-solar hybrid system The fishery-solar hybrid system innovatively combines solar power generation with fishery, which not only saves the land, but also outputs environmentally-friendly and clean energy. The water area below the solar array can be used for fish and shrimp farming. Agrivoltaic system Agrivoltaics is a symbiotic relationship where both the solar panels and the crops benefit because they help each other perform better. Antaisolar offered a proper solution with well calculated solar array span to obtain sufficient solar radiation and offer a proper hight for agricultural work. Ground-mounted system According to the terrain and land conditions , Antaisolar proposed two sets of fixed mounting structure with double and single columns respectively. The adoption of MAC steel  structure with high-strength performance allows for large spans to reduce the number of pile foundations, and thus better reduce costs.

Germany deployed around 411.9 MW of new PV capacity in October, according to the latest figures from federal network agency the Bundesnetzagentur. The country’s cumulative installed solar PV capacity has now reached 56.9 GW. This compares to 406.4 MW in September this year, and 421 MW in October 2020. In the first ten months of 2021, developers connected over 4.4 GW of solar to the grid, compared to 3.92 GW in the same period a year earlier. The country's cumulative solar capacity topped 56.9 GW at the end of September. The German PV market keeps being driven by the segments for installations not exceeding 750 kW in size, which last month achieved a newly-installed PV capacity of 304 MW. Of this capacity, around 292 MW comes from rooftop PV arrays while the remaining share is represented by small-sized solar parks. The Bundesnetzagentur also published new feed-in tariffs which will begin this month. The monthly decrease of solar subsidies remains at 1.4% while fixed feed-in tariffs for rooftop systems will range between €0.07693/kWh and €0.0527/kWh, depending on system size.
