Cell Processing

Welcome to the PV Chart of the Week from our colleagues at PV Tech Research. This week, we look at the annual nameplate capacity for solar cells and modules in the US since 2020.

MNRE has expanded the ALMM List-I by adding 12,724MW of solar module manufacturing capacity, taking the total enlisted capacity to 217,107MW.

Tandem PV has acquired fellow nexTC, which develops thin-film metal oxide coating processes for use in tandem solar modules.

Australia's installed cost of utility-scale solar has not fallen at the pace required to reach the country's “ultra-low-cost solar” (UCLS) ambitions, despite continued progress in cell and module efficiency.

US solar PV manufacturer T1 Energy has bought a set of patents for tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell and module technology which it said will “differentiate” its position in the US market.

Solar manufacturing giant Canadian Solar has opened the first phase of a 6GW heterojunction technology (HJT) solar cell facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

A South Carolina circuit court has upheld a decision by the York County Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) that solar panel manufacturing is not a permitted activity in the county’s Light Industrial zoning district, a setback for Silfab Solar.

After over a decade, China is revising its long-running consumption tax exemption policy for PV cells and a range of battery products.

MNRE's eighth ALMM List-II revision expands Fujiyama Power's PV cell capacity and adds Avaada Electro as a new entrant.

The government of Kyrgyzstan is in discussions with Sunvera Solar over a solar cell manufacturing plant with a planned capacity of up to 2GW.
