This week's Newscast tells the stories of the financial woes of the second largest equipment supplier to the PV industry, Photovoltech and German module manufacturer, Solarwatt. LDK Solar has also received a lot of media attention lately about its financial solution. CEO Mr Peng gives us the low-down in an exclusive interview with PV-Tech's senior news editor Mark Osborne. And finally, we bring to you excerpts from three executive-level interviews at Intersolar in Munich last week, including NPD Solarbuzz's Finlay Colville's take on emerging markets.

    For manufacturers who had their heads in the bunker during 2012, fighting falling ASPs and eroding margins, the nineteenth edition brings you details of what lies in store for this coming year. Wright Williams & Kelly return in this issue with their popular analysis of payback on technology buys; crucially they analyze n-type wafers, Al2O3 passivation and copper metallization. SERIS shows us how to achieve 18.7% efficiencies using low-cost etching techniques on diffused wafers. We also have two important technology roundups: CIGS from Helmholtz Berlin, and PV module encapsulation techniques from Fraunhofer ISE.
