PVTIME – On May 10, during the second day of the Fifth Century Photovoltaic Conference organized by Century New Energy Media and PVTIME, Photovoltaic Brand Lab (PVBL)’s annual Ranking of the Most Valuable Photovoltaic Brands was revealed.
Originally set to take place once again in Shanghai, the Fifth Century Photovoltaic Conference was converted into a two-day online event in order to protect the hosts, attendees, and the general public.
Established in 2012, the PVBL annual report is the only data research report in China that is supported by a multidimensional evaluation system.
