In October this year, PVcase released its rooftop solar design modelling software, which reduces lead time in the design process and encompasses the elements that need to be considered whilst planning a commercial & industrial (C&I) PV installation.

PV Tech spoke with Tongwei’s vice general manager of PV business, Yan Li, about its ten-year mark, the launch of a new TOPCon module line and the rollout of its Global Partner Programme.

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.

A “toxic inventory” of modules has been building up in Europe because market growth has been slower than expected, according to S&P Global.

Extremely high population density and the necessity to use land for agriculture are the reasons for building FPV in Southeast Asian countries.
