This eco-friendly, high-efficiency, smart solar-powered home car can achieve a range of up to 1,000 kilometers.

This family car may seem to have a rather unconventional design, but it’s actually hailed as the most efficient family vehicle ever made—thanks to its groundbreaking zero-emission technology, as it’s entirely powered by solar energy. On a sunny day, the MeetStellaVie can achieve an impressive range of up to 1,000 kilometers, easily covering many aspects of our daily lives. For instance, any excess energy it generates can even be fed back into our homes or the power grid—making it not only highly efficient but also incredibly eco-friendly. The solar-powered vehicle was designed by the Eindhoven-based team at MeetStellaVie, who’ve mastered the art of harnessing sunlight in innovative ways.

The State Council has announced: Starting October 1, "environmental impact assessments" will no longer be subject to fees! Environmental assessment qualifications are being revoked, and environmental supervision services will be discontinued. Additionally, environmental protection authorities will no longer participate in project completion inspections.

Recently, the State Council issued the "Decision on Amending the Regulations on Environmental Protection Management for Construction Projects," making revisions to the existing "Regulations on Environmental Protection Management for Construction Projects." The revised regulations will take effect from October 1, 2017. The Decision introduces three key changes to the current regulations: First, it aims to ease the burden on businesses by further improving service efficiency. Specifically, it clarifies that no fees may be charged to enterprises for reviewing, filing environmental impact assessment documents, or conducting related technical evaluations. Additionally, environmental protection authorities are required to accelerate the digitalization and informatization of government services, enabling online approval, filing, and public disclosure of environmental impact assessment documents. This represents an update from the previous version of the Regulations.

The oldest PV module, at 34 years old, is still generating electricity—yet the initially installed 10-kW solar power system still produces 7 kW after 32 years.

The oldest photovoltaic module, now 34 years old, is still generating electricity—impressive! A 10-kW solar power station installed back in the day can still produce 7 kW of clean energy after 32 years. This groundbreaking achievement first emerged in the 1950s, but it wasn’t until the early 1980s that ordinary Chinese citizens began treating solar power as a reliable source of household electricity. Back then, the Gansu Academy of Sciences was already working to bring light—and power—to remote areas like Tibet, where access to electricity was scarce. The very first large-scale photovoltaic power plant was built in 1983, with an initial capacity of just 10 kW. As the saying goes, "Good news travels fast." Today, as China’s solar industry continues to soar, one question is on everyone’s mind: Can these sleek little modules—made up of glass, a backsheet, and embedded solar cells—really stand the test of time?

New energy power generation explores "grid integration" to reduce costs, as capital from various sectors ramps up investments in digitalizing wind and solar PV projects.

"Electricity prices will be cheaper in X minutes—so we recommend charging your car at that time for maximum savings..." "And this appliance boasts low energy consumption, helping you cut your monthly electricity bill by XX yuan." These are just a glimpse of the smart grid’s potential to guide your future—and they also reflect the industry’s vision for how technology could reshape the energy landscape. Why not dive deeper into this exciting future right now? Recently, the 2017 Beijing International Wind Energy Conference & Exhibition and the 2017 China Photovoltaic Conference & Exhibition took place in Beijing, with intelligent and digital innovations emerging as one of the hottest topics on the agenda. Beyond exploring the transformative possibilities of smart and digital technologies, the event also highlighted their critical role in driving the broader energy revolution.

The National Development and Reform Commission has once again clarified: the photovoltaic subsidy reduction mechanism will be implemented.

Recently, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) released the "Opinions on Comprehensively Deepening Price Mechanism Reform" on its official website. The document emphasizes the need to improve the pricing mechanisms for renewable energy. Specifically, it calls for implementing a declining feed-in tariff mechanism for new energy sources like wind and solar power, based on technological advancements and market supply-demand dynamics. By 2020, the goal is to align wind power generation prices with those of coal-fired power plants, while ensuring that solar photovoltaic tariffs match grid retail electricity prices. Here’s the full text of the policy: To the Development and Reform Commissions and Price Bureaus of all provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government: To thoroughly implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and further advance the implementation of the "Several Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Promoting Price Mechanism Reform,"

Shocking! Another "iron rice bowl" has collapsed… 100,000 stores and 1 million people are set to be phased out.

China Mobile’s real rival isn’t Unicom or China Telecom—it’s Tencent. Banks’ true competitors aren’t each other, but rather Alipay and WeChat Pay. And in the taxi industry, the real threat isn’t public transport or illegal black cars— it’s Didi and Uber. The list goes on and on—now, it’s the gas station sector’s turn… In the age of the internet, cross-industry disruption has become not just possible, but inevitable. No company or industry can afford to rest on its laurels, assuming that its so-called "moat" will keep it safe from competition. Even in China’s highly fortified gas station industry—where barriers to entry have traditionally been impenetrable—what truly shakes up the market and threatens to leave oil workers jobless isn’t more gas stations or fiercer competition. Instead, it’s something far more disruptive.

2018 photovoltaic poverty alleviation is set to take off, with strong government support and no reduction in poverty-fighting subsidies—leaving local residents absolutely thrilled!

Photovoltaic poverty alleviation was identified by the State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development in 2015 as one of the "Ten Targeted Poverty Reduction Projects." Leveraging the abundant solar energy resources in impoverished regions, this initiative combines poverty reduction efforts with the development of renewable energy, offering stable income generation over a sustained 25-year period. The photovoltaic poverty alleviation model primarily includes three approaches: ground-mounted PV power stations, PV-powered greenhouse systems, and rooftop solar installations. The program targets two specific groups: first, impoverished villages that either lack collective economic income or have weak collective economies and scarce resources; and second, individual households classified as "three-no"—those without labor, resources, or a reliable source of income.
