In the first quarter of this year, China added 5.2 gigawatts (GW) of installed photovoltaic (PV) capacity, according to the National Energy Administration.

LONGi Solar this week said that it has invented a new “seamless soldering” technique that could help it produce a more efficient solar module.

By using less modules, you reduce the overall installed cost of solar.
