The beginning of summer, the seventh of the 24 solar terms, usually arrives on May 5 or 6 every year, marking the official start of summer. At this time, the sun reaches the ecliptic longitude of 45°, the sunshine time in the northern hemisphere increases significantly, the temperature rises significantly, and everything enters the vigorous growth period.  1. Photovoltaic advantages in the beginning of summer Enhanced sunshine: After the beginning of summer, the solar radiation intensity in the northern hemisphere increased significantly, and the average daily power generation of photovoltaic modules increased by 15%-20% compared with spring.Suitable temperature: The temperature in early summer is moderate (20-30°C), close to the optimal working temperature of photovoltaic modules (25°C), and the efficiency is higher.Less rain and more sunshine: The rainy season has not yet arrived, reducing the blocking of modules by dust and rain, and reducing O&M costs.2. The energy-saving wisdom of photovoltaic agricultureThe beginning of summer is also the busy season for farming, and the "agriculture and photovoltaic complementation" model ushers in new opportunities:Photovoltaic summer planting: planting shade-loving crops (such as mushrooms and Chinese medicinal materials) under photovoltaic panels to achieve "power generation on the board and a bumper harvest under the board".Fishery and PV integration: When the water temperature rises in summer, the water surface photovoltaic can reduce water evaporation and provide a shading environment for fish and shrimp.3. O&M advice: Prepare for the middle of summerCleaning components: Take advantage of fine weather to clean dust and improve light transmittance.Check heat dissipation: Ensure that the inverter is ventilated to avoid high temperature and efficiency degradation.Lightning protection preparation: Thunderstorms increase in summer, and it is necessary to check whether the grounding system meets the standard.Conclusion: From the ancient times of "watching summer at the beginning of summer" to today's "photovoltaic summer", new energy is inheriting the wisdom of solar terms with science and technology. Grasp the light dividend and let every ray of sunlight be converted into green energy!

Large Participation Scale The exhibition attracted more than 2,700 enterprises from over 50 countries and regions, among which approximately 850 were from China. Chinese exhibitors concentrated in the core exhibition area, accounting for more than one-third of the total exhibition space. Abundant and Advanced Exhibits Exhibits from Chinese companies covered high-efficiency modules, energy storage equipment, charging facilities, and full-chain energy solutions, fully demonstrating the innovative capabilities of the entire industry chain from manufacturing to application. Outstanding Technological Achievements LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. drew extensive attention with two breakthrough technological achievements. Its newly released BC second-generation module Hi-MO X10 broke through light constraints through structural innovation, maintaining high power generation efficiency in low-light environments while upgrading fireproof performance. It was awarded the "Innovative Solar Technology" prize by the organizer. LONGi Hydrogen's 3000Nm³/h ALK G series electrolyzer won the "Global Outstanding Project" award for its advantages in large-scale hydrogen production efficiency, making LONGi the only Chinese clean energy enterprise to win dual awards at this exhibition. Brilliant Performance in Energy Storage Many Chinese companies, including CATL, Huawei, and Trina Solar, collectively showcased their latest energy storage technologies and solutions. For example, CATL globally launched a container-like energy storage device about two people tall during the exhibition. It supports modular disassembly, assembly, and stacking. A single unit can charge approximately 150 electric vehicles or meet the electricity needs of a German household for about six years. Extensive and In-Depth Cooperation Some international exhibitors actively displayed cooperation logos with Chinese enterprises, reflecting deep collaboration in technological R&D and supply chains. Through technology export and localized cooperation, Chinese companies have deeply participated in the adjustment of Europe’s energy structure. Meanwhile, the open attitude and high acceptance of the European market toward new technologies are inspiring Chinese enterprises to increase R&D investments. The cooperation potential between China and Europe in photovoltaic technology collaboration and industrial chain coordination will be further unleashed. In addition, against the backdrop of high energy prices in Europe, some Chinese companies are actively exploring the household application of photovoltaic technology. For example, TCL displayed a model house equipped with a whole-house green energy system. The system uses solar panels installed on the roof and balcony to provide power and, combined with indoor inverters and energy storage equipment, achieves intelligent power distribution among terminals such as heat pumps and electric vehicle charging piles. This system has been implemented in residential projects in multiple European countries, and its green lifestyle concept is gaining popularity among more and more household users.
