CPX, a unit of Netherlands-based Esdec Solar, has developed a new mounting system with a long-side clamping system for large modules. The manufacturer claims that the new structure reduces the number of required assembly steps.

Swiss startup Insolight said that it has finished a new agrivoltaic pilot project in Lucerne, Switzerland. It said it will monitor the facility for three years to assess PV performance and its impact on agriculture.

Maxeon Solar Technologies says it has invested $70 million to upgrade its panel factory in Mexicali, Mexico, to 1.8 GW. The remaining capacity is provided by a 700 MW facility that the Singapore-based manufacturer operates in Ensenada.

A consortium led by TotalEnergies has secured financing for a 119 MW project that it won in a 2021-22 tender held by the Saudi authorities. It will be located in Wadi Al Dawasir.

SEG Solar (SEG), a Texas-based module manufacturer, will lease land in Indonesia for 5 GW of solar cell and 3 GW of PV module capacity.

Germany-based Wavelabs Solar Metrology Systems GmbH has released two new solar simulators for high-efficiency cell testing, one for use in production lines, and the other for use in research laboratories.

Q-Sun Solar says it plans to invest CNY 6.2 billion ($865.6 million) to build 10 GW of solar cell capacity and 12 GW of PV panel capacity.

The German PV testing equipment provider said its new Sinus-3000 Pro line is an ‘all-in-one system’ that can perform power measurements, bypass diode testing, insulation testing, visual inspection, and electroluminescence measurements. It is also offering the Sinus-3000 Advanced line for the testing of perovskite-silicon tandem, multi-junction and other new material cells.
