Yancheng

YANCHENG – November 12, 2026 -- Yancheng Radio and Television has released Homeland on the Tidal Flats, a six-episode micro-documentary about the 520,000 hectares of wetlands that rose from the tides along China's eastern coast.

The wetlands shelter more than 4,700 species

Yancheng's 582-kilometer coastline is home to more than 4,700 species of life, including 467 kinds of birds. Nearly one-third of the world's spoon-billed sandpipers stop here to refuel, and the world's largest wild elk population lives here. Yancheng is China's first coastal World Natural Heritage Site, and 6.7 million people live in the city.

Offshore wind turbines are built next to protected flats

Four out of every ten offshore wind turbines worldwide are manufactured in Yancheng. The series shows a city that grows alongside its wetlands instead of pushing them aside.

Chengdu – – October 13, 2026 -- Tongwei Solar has launched the TNC 2.0 FULLX G12R-48, a 48-cell residential solar module rated at up to 490 W and 24.5% efficiency, built to squeeze more power from limited roof space.

The panel measures 1,762 × 1,134 × 30 mm and comes in two versions: Full Black and Black Frame. According to Zander Yuan, Director of Product & Technology at Tongwei Solar, the 490 W rating is around 30 W more than conventional TOPCon modules of a comparable format. Homeowners can therefore install more capacity without adding modules.

Tongwei's tests show 3.3% more energy per watt than copper-plated BC modules

Under Tongwei's own test conditions, the module generated an average of 3.3% more energy per watt than copper-plated back-contact (BC) modules. The company credits lower leakage current and stronger low-light performance.
