PV Tech Premium spoke with Martin Green on n-type technology, China's solar dominance, perovskite and promising markets.

Solar manufacturer GCL SI is among the companies that will be present at COP28 and with whom PV Tech was able to speak with Zhang Kun, executive president of GCL SI about what it expects from COP28, the pledge to treble renewable generation capacity and what the solar industry can bring to the conversation in Dubai.

As the industry leaves behind p-type technology, most module manufacturers have either chosen tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) or heterojunction to jump towards n-type modules, with some opting for back contact (BC) cells to transition towards the new technology.

PV Tech spoke to Isabel Rodriguez, managing director at Glennmont Partners, about the challenges for the European solar supply chain.

Sonnedix's Daniel Garrido speaks about the company's acquisition of a 416MW Chilean solar portfolio, and its plans in the country.

Developing, sourcing, building and maintaining solar PV projects routinely runs into the millions of dollars of long-term investment, and the impacts of serious theft on a solar asset owner can result in lost revenues, lost energy generation and sometimes lost insurance and ability to operate.
