Italyโ€™s First FER-X Auction Attracts 10GW of Bids, Second Round Prioritizes EU Manufacturing

The Italian energy management agency Gestore dei Servizi Energetici (GSE) has recently announced the completion of the first round of the โ€œFER-X Transitorioโ€ renewable energy auction, attracting 818 solar power plant projects with a total capacity of 10.09GW, far exceeding the governmentโ€™s maximum allocation cap of 8GW. Final rankings and awarded projects will be released on December 11.

The Ministry of Environment and Energy Security (MASE) has meanwhile updated the FER-X decree and launched the second auction round on September 16, with a planned allocation ranging from 200MW to 1.6GW. Within the updates, a new Article 5-bis was introduced, establishing a dedicated tender channel for solar plants above 1MW, capped at 20% of the maximum quota. Projects bidding under this channel must use non-Chinese manufactured batteries, modules, inverters, and at least one other key component (such as trackers or PV glass) must also be sourced outside of China.

According to the latest figures from trade association Italia Solare, in the first seven months of 2025, Italy added 3.35GW of new capacity and 132,276 new PV systems, bringing its cumulative solar capacity to over 40GW. Between 2023 and 2024, following the phase-out of the โ€œSuperbonusโ€ incentive program for residential solar, household installations slowed with a 20.78% year-on-year decline, while large-scale ground-mounted projects surged 163.14% year-on-year, reflecting a clear market shift towards utility-scale deployment.

The introduction of this โ€œnon-price criterionโ€ essentially represents Italyโ€™s response to the EUโ€™s Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA), which requires that by 2030, at least 40% of strategic net-zero technologies (including PV) be manufactured within the EU, while reducing reliance on a single-region supply chain. As one of the EUโ€™s largest economies, Italy is using auction rules to steer projects towards โ€œnon-Chineseโ€ componentsโ€”supporting domestic and EU-based solar manufacturing while also strengthening energy supply chain security and resilience.

For Chinese PV companies, this policy significantly raises market entry thresholds. Without localized manufacturing within the EU, they risk losing access to Italyโ€™s dedicated auction market. Conversely, for EU solar manufacturers, the policy acts as a form of targeted support, potentially accelerating capacity expansion and technological innovation. However, they will need to balance the higher costs of non-Chinese components against the benefits of easier subsidy access under the new framework.

Australia Expands Its CIS Capacity by 25%, Targeting 82% Share by 2030

Last month on July 29, Australian Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, announced a significant expansion of the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) at the annual Investors Group on Climate Change (IGCC) summit. To achieve the Australia's ambitious target of sourcing 82% of its electricity from renewables by 2030, the federal government will increase the schemeโ€™s scale by adding 3GW of solar and wind capacity and 5GW of dispatchable storage, lifting the total CIS target from 32GW to 40GWโ€”a 25% expansion. This adjustment is expected to supply electricity to more than one million additional households, covering a total of 4.6 million homes.

The CIS, first introduced in December 2022, is an Australian Government revenue underwriting scheme to accelerate investment into renewable power generation and dispatchable clean energy capacity such as battery storage. The confidence behind the latest expansion is underpinned by the ongoing decline in renewable energy costs. According to the 2024โ€“2025 GenCost Report released jointly by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for large-scale solar and wind is now lower than coal and gas, making them the โ€œeconomic first choiceโ€ for new capacity. Notably, costs for two-hour battery energy storage systems (BESS) fell by as much as 20% in 2024โ€“25, while utility-scale solar costs declined by 8% for the second consecutive year.

This trend is further reinforced by falling Chinese solar module export prices and a maturing domestic supply chain, which are enhancing Australiaโ€™s competitiveness in clean energy. By the end of 2024, the countryโ€™s combined wind and solar capacity had reached 52.19GW, nearly doubling from 26.85GW in 2020. Investment momentum is also strong: in the first half of 2024, foreign direct investment in clean energy surpassed AU$12 billion, up 37% year-on-year, with storage projects accounting for more than 40% for the first timeโ€”a clear signal of the sectorโ€™s strategic importance.

Yet, the transition is far from seamless. AEMO has warned that delays in critical transmission projects could force solar farms in southeastern Australia to cut output by as much as two-thirds by 2027, with some projects facing curtailments of 35%โ€“65%. Similarly, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) highlighted that the existing grid is ill-equipped to integrate large volumes of distributed generation, requiring at least AU$50 billion in smart grid upgrades and expansion over the next decade to eusure stability. In response, Bowen has announced a Grid Enhancing Technologies grants program (GETs) designed to support the modernisation of electricity networks, including those in remote regions, by funding the development and use of technologies to improve existing infrastructure's productivity, reliability, and control.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) has described Australiaโ€™s renewable ambitions as a potential benchmark for developed economies. If the 82% target is achieved, the country will stand out as a global leader in energy transition. However, balancing rapid deployment with system reliability will demand coordinated efforts from policymakers, investors, and communities alikeโ€”accelerating transmission buildout, scaling up storage, and ensuring both financial returns and social benefits are realized.

Recently, Indiaโ€™s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (๐— ๐—ก๐—ฅ๐—˜) has officially enlisted the first batch of its ALMM List-II, a โ€œWhite Listโ€ of approved solar cell manufacturers under its ALMM program. The list includes nine domestic production facilities under six manufacturers, with a combined annual capacity of 13 GWโ€”marking a significant step forward in Indiaโ€™s drive to localize its solar supply chain.

The six approved manufacturers and their listed capacities are: ๐—˜๐—บ๐—บ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฒ (1,553 MW), ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ (751 MW + 1,174 MW), Adani Solarโ€™s ๐— ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ ๐—ฆ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—ฟ (1,939 MW + 1,893 MW), ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ก๐—ฒ๐˜„ ๐—ฃ๐—ฉ (1,766 MW), ๐—๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—œ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น (339 MW + 440 MW), and ๐—™๐—ฆ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ถ๐—ฎ (3,212 MW), a subsidiary of US-based First Solar. Notably, First Solar India is the only thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) cell producer on the list, and its 3.21 GW capacity accounts for nearly a quarter of the total. The validity period extends from July 31, 2025, to July 30, 2029, barring FS India, whose validity ends on April 28, 2028.

Launched in 2019, the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (๐—”๐—Ÿ๐— ๐— ) has become a cornerstone of Indiaโ€™s solar policy framework. According to ๐—ฆ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—˜๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐˜†, by the end of June 2025, manufacturers in ALMM List-I (modules) had a total annual capacity of ๐Ÿต๐Ÿญ.๐Ÿฒ ๐—š๐—ช. With rapid domestic expansion, Indiaโ€™s solar module import value has dropped sharplyโ€”from USD 3.36 billion in FY 2021-22 to USD 2.15 billion in FY 2024-25.

The market backdrop is equally striking. By the end of 2024, Indiaโ€™s cumulative solar capacity had reached 125.3 GW, making it the fourth country worldwide to cross the 100 GW threshold. 2024 annual additions hit 32.85 GWโ€”up ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฎ.๐Ÿณ% year-on-yearโ€”pushing India to third globally for new capacity. Solar now accounts for 61% of the nationโ€™s renewable installed base and remains central to achieving the 2030 target of 500 GW in renewables.

Yet, a structural imbalance persists: India's domestic solar manufacturing currently focuses more on modules than cells. In 2024, the country imported 65.9 GW worth of solar products, with cells making up almost 64% of the totalโ€”underscoring a domestic cell production shortfall. ALMM List-II may be able to address this gap, with a crucial rule kicking in from ๐—๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐Ÿญ, ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ: all government-linked solar projects must use both cells and modules from the approved ALMM lists.

Under the twin drivers of the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme and ALMM mandates, Indiaโ€™s manufacturing base is scaling up quickly. Still, full supply-chain self-reliance will take time, as equipment and raw material imports remain significant. For global PV companies, aligning with India's policy trends and deepening local partnerships could unlock opportunities as the country transitions from capacity expansion to quality upgrades. With its cell bottleneck gradually easing, Indiaโ€™s path toward solar manufacturing self-sufficiency is accelerating.

Back in May 2022, we found a newborn kitten nestled in the bushes along a roadside โ€” eyes still closed, body trembling, and clearly lost from his mother. He was too weak to even cry out. Without hesitation, we brought him into our office and gave him not just care, but a name: Zhao Cai, meaning โ€œbringer of fortuneโ€ in Chinese. From that fragile beginning, Zhao Cai began to grow. Under the watchful care of our team, he learned quickly how to drink milk from a bottle, open his eyes to the world, eat his first bits of food, and use the litter box. We never sought another home for him, because somewhere between feedings and purrs, he had already become part of the Seraphim family.๐Ÿ’™

Three years on, he has now become our silent 'supervisor', greeter for office visitors, and rigorous quality 'inspector' of daily work. In our busiest moments, he always sits quietly beside us, offering presence, calm, and occasionally 'lending us a paw' on the tricky issues. To award his remarkable dedication in the past, today Seraphim has decided to grant him the title of the company's 'CECO' (Chief Energy Conservation Office)!๐Ÿ†

From once a stray kitten found on the roadside, now an elite in the Seraphim family, Zhao Cai's presence and growth remind us that sustainability isnโ€™t just about solar and clean energy, and ESG applies more than just for people โ€” itโ€™s about how we treat every life we encounter in our work, human or animal.

At Seraphim, we strive to offer a workplace that values empathy and stewardship, fostering a caring, inclusive workspace. After all, what's the point of a brighter future if we can't share it with every soul we encounter? Stay tuned with Seraphim and our new ๐—–๐—˜๐—–๐—ข! Together, shaping a better future.๐ŸŒฑ

LID (Light-Induced Degradation) and LETID (Light and Elevated Temperature Induced Degradation) are two key stress factors affecting the long-term performance of high-efficiency PV modules like TOPCon. LID usually occurs during the first hours of sunlight exposure due to boron-oxygen reactions in silicon wafers, while LETID tends to appear after extended operation under high temperature and light. In Kiwa PVELโ€™s test, LID is measured by outdoor exposure to over 40 kWh/mยฒ of sunlight, and LETID is tested by subjecting modules to 75ยฐC and low current for 324 hours, with performance checks along the way.

According to the Saudi Gazette (July 14), a consortium comprising ACWA Power, the Saudi Aramco Power Company (SAPCO), and Badeel, a subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has signed Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) for seven major renewable energy projects across the Kingdom. With a total capacity of 15 GW and a projected investment of SAR 31 billion (approx. USD 8.3 billion), the initiative will bring online 12 GW of solar PV and 3 GW of wind capacity by 2028.

With bold policy direction, vast financial investment, and an unmatched natural solar potential, Saudi Arabia is emerging as a formidable player in the global solar energy market. The country has set an ambitious target of achieving 130 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, aiming to increase the contribution of renewable energy to the electricity mix to 50% by 2030, with the remainder to come from natural gas. Backed by the deep capital reserves of sovereign wealth entities like PIF and its affiliates, projects are advancing with remarkable momentum. In 2024, Saudi Arabia accounted for 3.48 GW of the MENA & SSA regionโ€™s total 14.31 GW of new PV installationsโ€”approximately 24%, the highest in the region (source: BNEF).

The newly signed projects will be distributed across the provinces of Asir, Madinah, Makkah, and Riyadh, including five solar PV plants in Bisha, Humaij, Khulis, Afif 1, and Afif 2, along with two wind projects in Starah and Shaqra. Financial close is expected in Q3 2025, with grid connection scheduled between late 2027 and early 2028. These developments are closely aligned with Saudi Arabiaโ€™s Vision 2030 strategy, reflecting the Kingdomโ€™s determination and operational efficiency. To date, SPPC has launched renewable energy projects totaling 43.2 GW in capacity, of which 38.7 GW have secured PPAs, and 10.2 GW are already grid-connected. The number is forecast to rise to 12.7 GW by the end of 2025, and further to 20 GW by the end of 2026.

In a region historically defined by fossil fuels, Saudi Arabia is now carving a new identity โ€” one powered by sustainable resources. By 2024, the share of Saudi Arabia's non-oil economy GDP has already risen to nearly 55%, compared to 42% in 2016. Amidst the global energy transition, Saudi Arabia is emerging not just as a participant but as a key architect of the clean energy era. With a clear roadmap, robust institutional framework, and fast-track ex*****on, Saudi Arabia is making strides toward becoming a global clean energy powerhouse.

Seraphim Sable Series modules show less than 2% degradation in both PID(-) and PID(+) tests, meeting the new criteria for PID 192 test results in Kiwa PVEL's Top Performers 2025 PV Module Reliability Scorecard!

Potential Induced Degradation (PID) refers to power loss caused by leakage currents from high voltage stress between solar cells and other module components. In Kiwa PVELโ€™s PID 192 test, modules are exposed to 85ยฐC and 85% relative humidity for 192 hours, with a voltage bias of ยฑ1500V applied, representing PID(-) and PID(+) conditions.

PID can cause significant and sometimes irreversible energy lossโ€”up to 30%โ€”impacting long-term performance and LCOE. Itโ€™s more likely in systems using transformerless inverters, especially under high heat and humidity. The PID 192 test simulates real-world PID risks before deployment to test a module's reliability against PID.

With modules exposed to 85ยฐC and 85% relative humidity for 192 hours, they must show < 2% degradation in both PID(-) and PID(+) to qualify (new rule applied to the 2025 Scorecard). This stricter benchmark disqualified 41% of candidatesโ€”but not Seraphim! Our Sable series modules stood the challenge and earned the PID 192 Top Performer title, proving their exceptional reliability. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Besides PID 192, Kiwa PVEL offers several more PV module tests that evaluate and select ๐—ง๐—ผ๐—ฝ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฑ. Stay focused on the upcoming series posts, and witness our journey of delivering the ever-improving PV modules to the globe!๐ŸŽฏ
