On August 17, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the Guiding Opinions of the National Development and Reform Commission and Other Departments on Promoting the Recycling of Retired Wind Power and Photovoltaic Equipment, pointing out that by 2025, the responsibility mechanism for the disposal of retired equipment in centralized wind farms and photovoltaic power stations will be basically established. The relevant standards and specifications for the recycling of retired wind power and photovoltaic equipment have been further improved , and breakthroughs have been made in key technologies for the recycling of resources. By 2030, the whole process recycling technology system of wind power and photovoltaic equipment will be basically mature, the mode of resource recycling will be more sound, the capacity of resource recycling will be effectively matched with the scale of decommissioning, the standards and norms will be more perfect, and the level of resource recycling in wind power and photovoltaic industry will be significantly improved. A number of retired wind power and photovoltaic equipment recycling industrial agglomeration areas will be formed.

4. 17-fold by 2026! On August 15,
2023, the American Solar Energy Industry Association (SEIA) released a new analysis report, saying that since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) a year ago. Solar and energy storage companies in the United States have announced more than $100 billion (729.7 billion yuan) in private sector investment. The report points out that the solar and energy storage manufacturing industry in the United States is developing rapidly, with 51 solar manufacturing plants announced or expanded in the past year. By 2026, when the announced plants are operational, U.S. capacity in modules, cells, wafers, ingots and inverters is expected to be more than 17 times its current capacity, enough to supply most of the solar projects expected to be built in the United States.
The two companies cooperated in the research of photovoltaic film
Changhong Gaoke on August 16, announcing that the company and Panjin Shengteng intend to sign the Cooperation Agreement on the Establishment of a Joint Venture Company.
