Grid upgrades needed to support Asia Pacific’s renewable energy expansion
A regional grid would allow the region to share excess renewable energy and facilitate the importing of renewable energy to meet domestic decarbonization goals in economies with limited renewable resources.
72% of solar PV modules enlisted in the latest ALMM list are of high-efficiency technologies
Out of the 861 solar PV modules currently enlisted in ALMM, the majority (around 72%) are from high-efficiency technologies. With a 49% share, mono PERC is the most dominant module type in ALMM. Encouragingly, emerging PV module technologies such as n-type TOPCon, Bifacial n-type TOPCon, and Bifacial Mono PERC also account for a significant share of around 22.5%.
