Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE claim to have reduced the silver content of TOPCon solar cells tenfold.

After a sharp decline in 2023, PV manufacturing capital expenditure is set to bounce back this year, and not just in China, writes Moustafa Ramadan.

Monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) modules saw a 20% increase in average price in the US, according to Anza.

Analysis: Some in the US solar industry are positioning tariffs as a silver bullet for manufacturers, but it may not be as straightforward as that.

German researchers at the Technical University of Munich have identified and developed a solution to prevent weather-induced deterioration of perovskite solar cells.

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) has begun an investigation into tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar products in the US, following a complaint by US thin-film module manufacturer First Solar.

There is “an emerging and significant compliance risk” for US solar manufacturers and buyers around the origin of solar wafers, according to new analysis from law firm Wiley Rein.

PV manufacturer Canadian Solar’s first US-made solar cells are expected to be produced by the end of March in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

India added 119GW of solar module and over 9GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity in 2025, according to Mercom’s latest report.

Current solar PV module price increases are largely dictated by five major components, according to data from Intertek CEA
