New entrants into US polysilicon manufacturing could be a 'game changer,' Solar Media head of research Finlay Colville told PV Tech Premium.

US companies have announced more than 100,000 jobs in clean energy manufacturing since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Future heterojunction technology (HJT) solar cells may require significantly less silver to produce, according to findings from researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).

The US Department of Energy' SETO has launched an up to US$20 million funding opportunity through the 2024 Photovoltaics Research and Development.

Scientists from the University of New South Wales have found that TOPCon modules endure “significant degradation” in damp heat testing.

The price of polysilicon continues to decline, in some cases below production costs, prompting a wait-and-see attitude within the PV industry.

Chinese solar manufacturer Huasun has reported “record-breaking” efficiency figures for its mass-produced heterojunction technology (HJT) solar cells.

Boviet Solar will build its first North American production facility in Greenville, Pitt County, in the US state of North Carolina.

HY Solar is planning 16GW of n-type cell production capacity in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia.

The Ningbo Boway Alloy Materials Company has announced plans to expand its TOPCon cell manufacturing capacity in the US by 2GW.
