The role of photovoltaic brackets in photovoltaic systems is to support and fix photovoltaic modules to ensure that they can stably receive sunlight and convert it into electrical energy. At the same time, photovoltaic brackets can also adjust the angle and orientation of photovoltaic modules to improve energy conversion efficiency and protect the modules from damage by the external environment. These functions enable photovoltaic systems to operate more efficiently and reliably, providing people with clean and renewable energy. The photovoltaic bracket foundation is an important part of the photovoltaic bracket system. It provides a solid support for the photovoltaic bracket to ensure that the photovoltaic modules operate safely and stably under various climatic conditions. The selection of photovoltaic bracket foundations needs to be determined according to the geological conditions, climatic conditions and engineering requirements of the installation site. What is the photovoltaic bracket foundation? The photovoltaic bracket independent foundation refers to a basic structure used in photovoltaic power generation systems to support photovoltaic brackets and solar panels, and bear the weight of photovoltaic brackets and solar panels as well as external loads such as wind and snow loads. Therefore, it needs to have sufficient bearing capacity and stability to ensure the safe operation of the photovoltaic power generation system. The foundation forms commonly used by photovoltaic brackets include reinforced concrete independent foundation, reinforced concrete strip foundation, spiral steel pile foundation, reinforced concrete pile column foundation, rock anchor foundation, etc. What is reinforced concrete independent foundation? Reinforced concrete independent foundation is one of the earliest traditional photovoltaic bracket foundation forms, and it is also a foundation form with a wide range of applications. It is a reinforced concrete independent foundation set under the front and rear columns of the photovoltaic bracket, consisting of a foundation bottom plate and a foundation short column above the bottom plate. The top of the short column is set with an embedded steel plate (or embedded bolt) to connect with the upper photovoltaic bracket, which requires a certain burial depth and a certain foundation bottom area; the foundation bottom plate is covered with soil, and the self-weight of the foundation and the gravity of the soil on the foundation are used to resist the upward pull caused by the environmental load, and the larger foundation bottom area is used to disperse the vertical load of the photovoltaic bracket downward, and the friction between the bottom surface of the foundation and the soil and the resistance between the side of the foundation and the soil are used to resist the horizontal load. The advantages of reinforced concrete independent foundation are clear force transmission path, reliable force, wide application range, and ...
A fixed photovoltaic bracket is a bracket that enables the photovoltaic array to receive solar radiation in a fixed manner. When designing a fixed photovoltaic bracket, it is necessary to refer to the local geographical location, environment, climate and other conditions to fix the bracket at an angle that is conducive to receiving sunlight radiation to the greatest extent, and once its position is determined, it usually does not change frequently. Application scenarios and main features of fixed photovoltaic brackets Fixed brackets are widely used in various photovoltaic systems due to their simple structure and low cost. In particular, fixed brackets have more advantages in the following scenarios: Rooftop photovoltaic system: Due to limited roof space and limited load-bearing capacity, fixed brackets are more suitable for installation on the roof. By reasonably designing the structure and layout of the bracket, the roof space can be fully utilized and the power generation efficiency of the photovoltaic system can be improved. Ground photovoltaic power station: When building a photovoltaic power station on an open ground, due to the strong bearing capacity of the foundation and low wind speed, the fixed bracket can also meet the stability and safety requirements of the system. At the same time, through reasonable layout and optimized design, the power generation efficiency and economic benefits of the photovoltaic power station can be further improved. The reason why photovoltaic fixed brackets have a wide range of applications in the photovoltaic market is that they have the following significant features: High stability: The fixed bracket adopts a sturdy structural design, which can remain stable under various climatic conditions and ensure the safe operation of photovoltaic modules. Whether it is a rainy summer or a cold winter, the fixed bracket can reliably support the photovoltaic modules and reduce the risk of module damage caused by the shaking of the bracket. Low maintenance cost: Since the fixed bracket has no moving parts and a simple structure, the maintenance cost is relatively low. Users only need to clean and inspect the photovoltaic modules regularly to ensure the normal operation of the system. Easy installation: The installation process of the fixed bracket is relatively simple, and no complicated debugging and calibration work is required. Users only need to install according to the instructions or the guidance of professionals to quickly complete the construction of the photovoltaic system. Wide applicability: The fixed bracket has low site requirements and is suitable for various sites, including roofs, ground, hillsides, etc. Whether in cities or rural areas, the fixed bracket can be flexibly used. Long life: The service life of the fixed bracket is relatively long, generally reaching more than 30 years.
Despite its war-torn past, Ukraine sees significant growth in its PV market by 2024, with new installed capacity reaching 800-850 MW, according to a report by the Solar Energy Association of Ukraine (ASEU). This growth is mainly driven by businesses and households relying on self-use photovoltaic systems to ensure the stability of electricity supply while addressing grid security challenges. Vladyslav Sokolovsky, chairman of the ASEU board of directors, pointed out that the growth of the self-use market benefited from the abolition of value-added tax (VAT) and tariffs on the import of photovoltaic modules and related equipment in the summer of 2024. This policy provides strong support for the deployment of solar power generation equipment in households and businesses. Even though the war is still going on, ASEU is optimistic about the prospects of Ukraine's photovoltaic market. In the self-generation and self-use market, more companies are investing in photovoltaic systems combined with energy storage to ensure energy security; for industrial photovoltaic projects, some new projects have been announced in 2024, and the construction of industrial photovoltaic power stations is expected to be further promoted in the future. In addition, the Ukrainian government is considering introducing a military risk insurance mechanism for investors, while supporting industry growth through preferential loans and grant projects. According to the National Renewable Energy Action Plan, Ukraine aims to increase its total photovoltaic installed capacity to 12.2GW by 2030.
The UK government’s latest Clean Electricity Action Plan 2030 outlines significant growth in renewable energy capacity by 2030, with a focus on offshore wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) power. The plan sets a target of 45-47GW for solar PV capacity in 2030, emphasizing the potential to exceed the 47GW cap. As of the second quarter of 2024, the UK’s cumulative solar PV capacity stood at 16.6GW, with an additional 23.8GW of projects under construction or signed. Solar Energy UK believes the 45GW target is conservative and that solar PV has the potential to significantly surpass this level. The plan includes promoting solar installations on warehouses, industrial sites, and outdoor parking lots, with a survey on PV canopies for parking lots set to begin in 2025. Additionally, solar technology is included in policies such as the Warm Homes Local Grant and Warm Homes Social Housing Fund, and its application will be further expanded in future versions of the plan. Wind power is also a core component of the plan, aiming for a cumulative installed capacity of 43-50GW by 2030, with onshore wind contributing 27-29GW. Flexible power regulation is also part of the plan, with installations of 23-27GW of battery storage and 4-6GW of long-duration storage planned, along with the development of flexible technologies such as carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen energy. Furthermore, around 35GW of natural gas storage capacity will ensure secure electricity supply.
Against the backdrop of global energy transformation, the photovoltaic industry has taken off, and the scale of global photovoltaic installed capacity continues to grow. TrendForce predicts that global photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 596GW in 2025, up 6.0% year-on-year, and the growth rate will slow down significantly. The share of the three major mainstream incremental markets in China, Europe and the United States will decline, and emerging markets such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East will perform well, injecting new impetus into the growth of global photovoltaic installed capacity. Global new installed capacity to reach 596GW in 2025 According to TrendForce data, global photovoltaic installed capacity has grown rapidly from 113GW in 2019 to 462GW in 2023, with an average annual compound growth rate of 42.3%. After experiencing high growth in the first five years, it is expected that the growth rate of global photovoltaic installed capacity will drop sharply from 2025 and enter the adjustment stage. In 2025, global photovoltaic installed capacity will reach 596GW, up 6.0% year-on-year. In terms of market share, the Asia-Pacific market fell slightly to 61.1%, the Americas market grew to 15.6%, and the market share of Europe and the Middle East and Africa did not change much. From the data of new photovoltaic installations in the four major regional markets in 2025, the Americas will lead slightly in growth, and the Asia-Pacific region will still lead in growth. In 2025, driven by the two major markets of the United States and Brazil, the Americas will maintain its leading growth rate; the emerging countries in the Middle East and Africa are still to be developed, and the growth rate has slowed down significantly; the Asia-Pacific region leads the global photovoltaic market in growth, but the growth rate of installed capacity has slowed down under the high base; Europe has steadily increased its growth under the overall goal of coal withdrawal and renewable energy.
The German Federal Solar Industry Association issued a communiqué on January 6, 2025, stating that by the end of 2024, Germany's total installed capacity of solar power generation exceeded 100 GW for the first time. In 2024, 14% of Germany's electricity consumption was provided by solar systems, an increase from 12% in 2023. The communiqué showed that Germany's solar industry continued to grow in 2024, with more than 1 million new solar power generation systems and 17 GW of new installed capacity, an increase of about 10% over 2023. The main driving force for the growth of solar power generation in 2024 came from ground-based photovoltaic power stations, with an additional installed capacity of 6.3 GW, an increase of about 40% over the previous year. The data also showed that the growth of solar systems installed on residential roofs slowed down, while solar systems installed on corporate roofs and residential balconies increased rapidly. Germany plans to achieve at least 80% of its electricity consumption from renewable energy by 2030. To achieve this goal, the total installed capacity of solar power generation needs to reach 215 GW. Carsten Koenig, head of the German Federal Solar Industry Association, said: "If the market growth continues to maintain a similar scale in the next two years, we will enter the sprint stage."
At the recently concluded G20 summit, Indonesia's new president Prabowo Subianto announced that Indonesia has pledged to build more than 75GW of renewable energy projects in the country and stop operating coal-fired power plants and all fossil fuel power plants in the next 15 years. In addition, the country also plans to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, mainly relying on renewable energy and biodiesel. During the COP29 meeting, Indonesia's Special Envoy for Energy and Climate Change Hashim Djojohadikusumo said that the government plans to add 100GW of energy capacity by 2040, of which 75% will come from renewable energy, including 25GW of hydropower, 27GW of solar, 15GW of wind, 7GW of geothermal energy and 1GW of biomass. PT PLN, Indonesia's state-owned power company, has been given the responsibility of implementing 75GW of renewable energy capacity. This batch of projects requires an investment of at least US$235 billion, including the construction of transmission lines from the islands to demand centers. Under the Indonesia Just Energy Transformation 2023 Plan (JETP), Indonesia plans to install around 265GW of solar PV capacity to ensure net zero emissions in the power sector by 2050.
Solar PV additions in the European Union are forecast to reach 65.5GW in 2024, according to trade association SolarPower Europe’s (SPE) latest report. After years of rapid growth with double-digit increases from previous years, Europe is facing a 92% slowdown in solar growth compared with the growth between 2021 and 2023. Last year was marked by a record 62.8GW of solar capacity additions, while this year’s growth from 2023 only amounts to 4.4% – the lowest market growth since 2017. The slowdown was not surprising for SolarPower Europe. “Following the solar boom during the gas crisis, the urgency of going solar has waned for citizens as their bills normalise,” the EU Market Outlook for Solar Power report said. “Developers face challenges for different reasons. The energy system has not kept up with the solar growth curve, and building bankable utility-scale solar becomes more difficult as grid and flexibility bottlenecks tighten.” SPE’s data showed the residential rooftop market has seen a nearly 5GW decrease from 2023 with 12.8GW of capacity additions in 2024. This decrease is partially down to the removal of incentives for rooftop solar (for instance, the Netherlands will remove its net metering scheme for residential solar by 2027) which saw decreases in residential solar in Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, and Hungary. The slower growth of solar PV in 2024, along with residential solar stumbling, has affected the biggest European markets too. Half of the top 10 biggest solar markets in 2024 have seen a drop in capacity additions from the previous year. Spain, Poland, the Netherlands, Austria and Hungary have seen their solar PV market contract since the end of the energy price crisis and policymakers failing to offer regulatory stability to maintain investment appetite in solar. The Netherlands has seen the steepest drop, with an annual decrease of 1.8GW from 2023, whereas the growth in the other five markets has been “modest”, according to the report. France saw the biggest increase, with 1.5GW added in 2024. Germany (with 16.1GW added in 2024) continues to be the largest market in the European Union for solar PV, by Spain (9.3GW) and Italy (6.4GW). Challenges ahead for solar PV Looking ahead, the report forecasts continued single-digit growth between 3-7% from 2025-2028. SPE said this would still allow the EU to reach its 2030 solar PV target of 750GW as it projects 816GW of installed solar PV by the end of the decade. However, the trade association warns that Europe could still miss the mark by 100GW if it follows the wrong path. In the report, SPE outlined several challenges looming for the solar industry in the coming years. As mentioned earlier, the residential market is poised to continue its downward path. However, the report highlights an increased interest in balcony solar deployments. In Germany alone over 220,000 systems – around 800W – were added in the first half of 2024. Inflexible ...
Brazil installed 2.3 GW of large-scale solar and 4.5 GW of distributed-generation PV in the first six months of this year. New figures from Brazil's energy regulator, ANEEL, show that the country achieved an impressive 6.8 GW increase in PV generation capacity in the first half of 2023. Within this growth, 2.3 GW emerged from 61 newly established large-scale PV plants, while an additional 4.5 GW was contributed by distributed-generation solar, involving PV systems under 5 MW in size. It remains unclear whether these statistics include the 1.2 GW Janaúba solar complex, which was unveiled in July by Elera Renováveis in Janaúba, Minas Gerais. Brazil reached 32 GW of cumulative installed PV capacity at the end of June, constituting approximately 14.7% of the nation's overall installed capacity, which currently stands at 194.38 GW.

The demand in the global photovoltaic market continues remain strong in 2023. China is the largest application market for photovoltaics and the largest manufacturing base in the world. Globalization is also one of the main directions for the future development of Chinese photovoltaic enterprises. China's photovoltaic industry chain is complete, covering silicon materials-silicon wafers-cells-modules, and has the advantages of industrial linkage. At the same time, photovoltaic technology has a deep accumulation and a relatively solid industrial foundation. Some companies have invested and built factories overseas. In the context of global carbon neutrality, many countries and regions regard the development of renewable energy including photovoltaics as an important part of their carbon neutrality path. Driven by breakthroughs in renewable energy technology and policy tools, the global photovoltaic market has maintained a good momentum of development. The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products released the "White Paper on the External Development of China's Photovoltaic Industry" this year, pointing out that in the next 10 years, the global photovoltaic application market will still maintain a high demand. It is recommended that Chinese photovoltaic enterprises actively participate in the formulation of international standards for the photovoltaic industry; guide and encourage enterprises Increase investment in research and development, improve awareness of intellectual property rights strategy; establish a green and low-carbon certification standard system for photovoltaic products, and promote the docking of green and low-carbon trade rules and mechanisms at home and abroad.

Nigeria mainly uses fossil fuels and hydro in its 4 GW power generation fleet. It has been estimated around 30 GW of capacity would be needed to fully cover its population of 200 million people. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) estimated Nigeria had 33 MW of grid-connected solar at the end of 2021. With solar irradiance ranging from 1.5 MWh/m² to 2.2 MWh/m², why does the country remain shackled by energy poverty? IRENA has estimated renewables could meet 60% of Nigeria’s energy demand by 2050. Thermal power stations generate around 70% of Nigeria’s electricity today, with hydro providing most of the remainder. Five main generation companies (GenCos) dominate and the Transmission Company of Nigeria is the sole transmission entity, responsible for the development, maintenance, and expansion of the transmission network. The distribution sector has been completely privatized. Power produced by the GenCos is sold to Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company (NBET) which is the only bulk trader of electricity. It buys electricity from the GenCos through power purchase agreements (PPAs) and sells to private distributors through vesting contracts. This structure ensures that the generating companies get a guaranteed price irrespective of what happens on the distribution side. There are fundamental problems with the system which also affect the adoption of solar technology as a part of Nigeria’s energy mix. due to policy uncertainty and lack of grid infrastructure,the lack of lender trust in the Nigerian power market also stems from fundamental issues with the electricity grid, especially with regards to its reliability and flexibility. That is why most lenders and developers require guarantees to safeguard their investments. Much of Nigeria’s grid infrastructure is unreliable. Nigeria is a potentially big market for solar mini-grids as there are towns and communities without any connection to the grid. Mini grids are also an opportunity for developers and financiers to serve those without access to electricity, and for the development of captive solar power facilities for heavy energy consumers, such as mines, to ensure their own reliable and affordable power capacity. There is also opportunity for development of energy storage solutions to stabilize local grids. Tapping Nigeria’s PV potential will require a synchronous effort between the government, developers, lenders, and consumers. And time is of the essence now that many countries are in the race to net zero. Decarbonizing power infrastructure is key.

A photovoltaic hydrogen production project located in North-West of China was hit by a level 13 sandstorm. A large number of solar photovoltaic brackets collapsed, photovoltaic modules were damaged to varying degrees, and some modules were completely broken. Relevant personnel said that the serious damage to the project was the result of the joint action of various influencing factors. On the day of the accident, the gust intensity reached level 13 or above, and the windy weather lasted for nearly 12 hours. At the same time, the project uses super-large photovoltaic modules, and the design of the support strength does not fully consider the wind load. The reason for this accident is that the project developer did not purchase commercial insurance, and the manufacturer usually does not purchase additional commercial insurance for the manufactured products. lead to heavy losses. In order to prevent possible losses, during the project bidding stage, some owners will specifically propose that the general contractor (EPC) be responsible for purchasing "project all risks" and clearly write it into the contract. The various components used in this incident are not the first to come out, and it should be attributed to the lack of awareness of dealing with extreme weather and safety issues. For the construction of the project, it is not only about cost reduction, but also for safe and stable operation, it is necessary to thicken the component glass, strengthen the bracket material, deepen the piling, and take into account both cost and project safety.
