2024 Silk Road Week Concludes in Paris

PARIS, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "2024 Silk Road Week" ended with a bang on Oct 14 in Paris, with the opening ceremony of the exhibition "Charm of the Silk Roads: Chinese Silk Arts" at the Exhibition Hall of Hôtel d'Heidelbach, Musée national des arts asiatiques-Guimet in Paris.

The exhibition, hosted by the Publicity Department of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee and the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and organized jointly by the China National Silk Museum and Nouvel Institut Franco-Chinois. It focuses on the cultural communication of Chinese silk skills and the Silk Roads, highlighting the contemporary development of silk art and silk fashion, and reflecting the cultural exchanges between China and France. Then it continues to display in L'institut Marangoni, Paris for one month.

More than 100 guests attended the opening ceremony activities, including Alain Labat, Vice President of Nouvel Institut Franco Chinois, Corinne Thépaut-Cabasset, President of the international committee ICOM for the museums and collections of Costume, Fashion and Textiles, Mehrdad Shabahang Project Officer of Silk Roads Programme of UNESCO, Jamel Oubechou, Director of Office Department, Musée Guimet, Paolo Meroni, Director of Education Istituto Marangoni Fashion School, Jiao Tianlong, Vice Director of Bowers Museum (USA), Liu Hongge, Director of the Paris Chinese Cultural Center in Paris, Zhao Cheng, Head of Information Office of Zhejiang Provincial People's Government, Chen Guangsheng, Director of Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture Radio Television and Tourism, and so forth.

The project "Beyond the Mulberry Fields: China Sericulture Intangible Cultural Heritages" also demonstrated on the exhibition. Jin Jiahong, the National Master of Arts and Crafts in China brought her unique Hangzhou-style embroidery. kesi weaving and gold printing were also popular by the visitors.

There were other two big events held concurrently.

The symposium on "Sino-French Fashion Dialogue", who focused on the significance and value of museums in fashion and popular culture, and the innovative design based on museum collections. Relevant research experts from museums and universities in China and France, as well as designers from the fashion industry, were invited to share their latest research results and practical experience.

The Fashion Show "Sino-French Fashion Appointment: Silk Road Heritage Innovation Design", who took the representative auspicious patterns of the Silk Roads in Tang Dynasty as the design elements.  Design works are solicited from fashion designers worldwide, including Prof. Ji Xiaofen, the director of China National Silk Museum. More than 40 sets of costumes were released on the show, presented by 20 models from Zhejiang Sci-Tech University.

Roads Connect, Civilization blossom. On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, this series of events aims to build a platform of international exchange and cooperation for countries along the Silk Roads, and also a more influential international communication system for Chinese traditional culture.

HANGZHOU, China, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On January 7^th, Astronergy officially launched ASTRO N7 Pro, the company's next-generation PV modules designed to set new benchmarks in power output, efficiency, and long-term system value. Featuring a power output of up to 670W and a maximum efficiency of 24.8%, ASTRO N7 Pro addresses the evolving demands of utility-scale and C&I distributed solar projects globally.

ASTRO N7 Pro is powered by Astronergy's upgraded TOPCon 5.0+ solar cell technology, integrating industry-leading technologies such as ASP, PF, SNOP. A key upgrade is the adoption of quarter-cut design: quarter-cut cell tech reduces internal current of cells, lowering power loss. Meanwhile, quarter-cut cell layout design effectively reduces the peak hot spot temperature and power loss, improving module reliability and system safety.

In practical operating environments, ASTRO N7 Pro demonstrates strong resilience under partial shading conditions. Its unique circuit design effectively reduces shading impact, enabling up to 20% more power output than half-cut-cell modules when shading occurs.

These modules also deliver reliable performance in low-irradiance and high-temperature conditions. Improved Rsh and fewer current leakage paths enable ASTRO N7 Pro to achieve 6.05% increase in single-watt power gain compared with BC products. This ensures stable energy production during early mornings, late afternoons and cloudy weather. Supported by a temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C, ASTRO N7 Pro can maintain consistent power generation in regions with high temperatures.

With bifaciality reaching up to 85±5%, ASTRO N7 Pro earns 1–3% additional bifacial power gains over BC products. Its reliability is further reinforced through the quarter-cut cell layout, 20BB design, and a low-temperature & low-stress manufacturing process without flux, which together lead to a more uniform stress distribution, reduced hidden crack risks, and durable long-term performance.

Designed for higher returns across the project lifecycle, ASTRO N7 Pro comes with a 30-year linear power warranty and a 15-year product warranty. Compared with same-size BC modules, there's a 1.2% increase in both first-year power generation and 30-year cumulative power generation, and LCOE is cut by 1.2%.

ASTRO N7 Pro is more than just a new product series, but Astronergy's continued focus on customer needs across diverse application scenarios. With the launch of ASTRO N7 Pro, Astronergy keeps powering a sustainable future through innovation, reliability and greater profits.
