2023 is coming to an end. In order to enrich the cultural life of employees and enhance the core strength of the team, Xiamen Wintop specially held a five-day team-building activity. This time we went to Xi'an, known as the ancient capital for thousands of years. First, let’s get to know Xi’an. Xi'an is a "World Historic City" identified by UNESCO in 1981. It is one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization and the Chinese nation, and the starting point of the Silk Road. Historically, 13 dynasties have established their capitals here. Xi'an is a world-famous historical city, as famous as the world-famous ancient cities such as Rome, Athens, and Cairo. It is also the one with the longest history among the six ancient capitals in China. Two six heritage sites in Xi'an are included in the World Heritage List, namely: Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum and Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Small Wild Goose Pagoda, Daming Palace ruins in Tang Chang'an City, Weiyang Palace ruins in Han Chang'an City, and Xingjiao Temple Pagoda. There are also Qianling Mausoleum, Xi'an City Wall, Bell and Drum Tower, Huaqing Pool, Huashan Mountain, Zhongnan Mountain, Tang Furong Garden, Shaanxi History Museum, Forest of Steles and other attractions. Next, let us walk into Xi'an and uncover the secrets of this thousand-year-old ancient capital... The Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang’s Mausoleum: Known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World”. There are more than 8,000 terracotta warriors and horses. Each terracotta warrior is a warrior who once went into battle to kill the enemy. Each of them is a perfect 1:1 replica of a real person, and each one has a different face. Take our breath away. "The Everlasting City of the Tang Dynasty": This commercial pedestrian street imitating the Tang Dynasty fully demonstrates the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Big Wild Goose Pagoda: Located in the Da Ci'en Temple in Jinchangfang, Chang'an City, Tang Dynasty (now south of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province), it is also known as the "Ci'en Temple Pagoda". In the third year of Yonghui of the Tang Dynasty (652), Xuanzang presided over the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in order to preserve the Buddhist scriptures and statues brought back to Chang'an from Tianzhu via the Silk Road. It initially had five floors, and was later added to nine floors, with countless more floors and heights. After several changes, it was finally fixed to the seven-story tower that we saw, with a total height of 64.517 meters and a side length of the bottom floor of 25.5 meters. Xi'an Eternal Scenery Area: Taking the story of a Chinese girl who returned to China to find her roots as the main line, it leads tourists to explore national memory. Through the magical time shuttle, we will truly feel the style of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties. Tens of thousands of machines and equipment were in operation, 3,000 tons of flood poured down, and hundreds of cubic meters of yellow sand rus...

While total global solar capacity will continue to grow rapidly over the next decade, the pace of installation growth will begin to slow in 2024 compared to the growth rate of recent years. The head of Wood Mackenzie's global solar sector said that if the 2023 forecast is realized, the average annual growth in photovoltaic installed capacity from 2019 to this year will be 28%, with 2023 increasing by 56% compared with 2022. However, on average, the current pace will remain unchanged, with no annual growth from 2024 to 2028, which will include some contraction years. Wood Mackenzie forecasts 270 GW of new solar capacity will be installed globally this year, while the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts 349 GW of new solar capacity in 2023. The growth of the global solar market follows a classic S-curve. Growth in the steepest part of the curve has been rapid in recent years. Starting in 2024, the industry will pass an inflection point, characterized by a slower growth model. The global solar market is still many times larger than it was just a few years ago, but as the industry matures, it's natural to follow this growth path.

French company Colas and Dutch construction contractor BAM Royal Group have built two bicycle lanes equipped with photovoltaic modules in the Netherlands. The two bicycle paths are located in the provinces of Noord-Brabant and Noord-Holland, each covering an area of 1,000 square meters. Photovoltaic module technology provides 21% power generation efficiency per square meter. The solar cells are protected by multiple layers of resin, and the electrical structure is designed to reduce the amount of wiring. The two cycle paths will generate 160 MWh of renewable energy throughout the first year. The two projects are part of an initiative launched in 2018 by the National Water Authority, part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Environment. Solar roads are not a new concept in the Netherlands. In 2016, solar panels were installed on a bicycle path near Amsterdam, and in 2020 another solar-powered bicycle path was built in Utrecht. However, the feasibility and economic feasibility of solar roads remain controversial.

In recent years, the United States has made substantial progress in embracing the renewable energy revolution, positioning itself on the path to a more sustainable future. This shift is driven by a variety of factors including environmental concerns, economic opportunities and technological advances. With the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act (BIL), the United States is accelerating its move toward clean energy solutions. In 2022, the share of renewable energy sources (RES), including hydropower, in the country's electricity generation has reached approximately 22%; furthermore, the share of RES in total electricity generation has increased to approximately 30%. It is worth noting that in the transportation sector, consumers are also becoming more aware and increasingly choosing zero-emission fuels such as electric vehicles. EUPD Research estimates that battery electric vehicles (BEVs) will account for 5.6% of new car registrations in 2022, with this share having surged to 7.1% in the first half of 2023. The United States has ambitious goals, including achieving 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 and striving to achieve economy-wide net-zero greenhouse gas emissions no later than 2050. The targets are expected to provide a major boost to the clean energy industry in the country, further strengthening its commitment to a sustainable and environmentally responsible future.

Vietnam's Ministry of Transport said last week it was receiving feedback on a new draft decree to encourage rooftop solar power. According to the draft, rooftop solar energy will be integrated into the national grid for self-use, but cannot be sold to other organizations or individuals or fed back to the grid. While this has a negligible impact on independent power producers managing commercial and industrial projects, it sends another rather negative signal for solar development in the country. According to local media reports, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology first proposed in August that it would propose an amendment to rooftop solar power, aiming to promote the development of self-consumption of rooftop solar power. In May, the Vietnamese government announced it would invest $135 billion in an energy strategy aimed at equipping half of the country's residential rooftops with photovoltaic power generation projects under a net metering scheme and making Vietnam a net exporter by the end of the decade, a key key to the strategy. pillar. According to the latest data provided by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Vietnam's installed solar capacity at the end of last year was 18 GW.

A 950 MW solar complex has been inaugurated in Dubai, host of the COP28 climate change conference. The hybrid facility consists of the most powerful concentrated solar power (CSP) system and photovoltaic installations on Earth. This is the fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which is vying for the title of the largest solar park in the world. Phase 4 includes the world's largest concentrated solar power facility with a total installed capacity of 700 MW and 250 MW of photovoltaic power generation capacity. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is expected to generate 5 gigawatts of electricity. Currently, even without CSP, its total installed capacity reaches 2.6 GW, making it one of the few largest installed capacities on the planet. The entire system will include heat and green hydrogen. Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) said the concentrated solar power segment features a record-high number of solar towers and the largest thermal energy storage capacity. The utility controls 51% of the Noor Energy 1 joint venture, which is building the fourth phase of the project. Co-owners are Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power (25%) and China Silk Road Fund (24%). The fourth phase of the project is worth US$4.3 billion. According to DEWA, the CSP facility has a 600 MW parabolic basin complex and a 100 MW 263-meter-tall solar tower. Additionally, it cited Guinness World Records as saying that it has the largest thermal energy storage capacity at 5.9 GWh. The fifth phase of the project has been put into use this year.

A consortium consisting of German installation system supplier K2 Systems and Swiss EPC contractor Solarmotion has deployed a vertical photovoltaic system on a detour road in the city of Toifen in the canton of Apenzell, Switzerland. The array is installed on a retaining wall with a slope of 75 degrees and an installed capacity of 325kW. This array uses 756 dual glass all black solar modules provided by an undisclosed supplier. K2 Systems states that the installation solution for this device uses "K2 BasicRail" mounting rails and HUS screw anchors. Hilti, located in Liechtenstein, provided mechanical pins for the project. In the system configuration, adhesive technology is used to fix the components of the photovoltaic system and the K2 building protection pad as the substrate onto the masonry. In order not to affect the statics of the retaining wall, the company must consider that the anchoring depth must not exceed 90mm. The engineering office of the Swiss Road Supervision Agency inspected all static calculation results during the planning phase. The company has completed this project within two months. Due to its proximity to asphalt, the K2 installation system still needs to meet special corrosion requirements, and its components are covered with anodized aluminum oxide for protection. The components of the fastening system are made of aluminum alloy and A2 stainless steel materials. The photovoltaic system is scheduled to be officially put into use in December. It is expected that the vertical array will achieve good output, especially in winter. Overall, it is expected that the annual solar power generation will be around 230000 kWh.
