Cell Processing

Indian solar module manufacturer Waaree Energies has started trial production at its 5.4GW cell production facility in Chikhli, Gujarat.

JinkoSolar has claimed a 33.84% conversion efficiency in a perovskite tandem solar cell based on n-type TOPCon technology.

Maxeon opened the case in June 2023. The case concerns shingled solar cell technology patents used in Maxeon’s Performance line modules

The 28.6% efficiency rating was certified by the CalLab at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).

The company uses direct “gas-to-wafer” epitaxial technology to produce its solar wafers which achieved 24.4% efficiency on HJT cells.

The sites are expected to generate over 120MW of solar power, Nexamp said, across the states of Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Illinois and Minnesota.

NuVision Solar, a new US-based solar manufacturer, has been formed and aims to build a heterojunction (HJT) solar cell and module assembly plant in the US.

The waiver “Concluded that BABA-compliant modules will not likely be available from domestic manufacturers in sufficient quantities."

Indonesian energy policy think tank, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), has penned a new report stating that the country stands to gain from the influx of new solar manufacturing capabilities yet is still underutilising its generation potential.

Chinese solar manufacturer Trinasolar is engaged in two legal proceedings with the US government over patents and import tariffs.
