Shreeyashi Ojha reports on a European PV recycling venture looking to maximise the value of materials recovered from end-of-life modules.

The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has committed an additional AU$95.4 million (US$66.8 million) in funding to the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP), extending the research programme's operations to 2033.

Module quality and reliability concerns, HJT, manufacturing in Africa and hail were among the key topics discussed at PV ModuleTech USA.

Oxford PV and Fraunhofer ISE have unveiled a module prototype that combines tandem perovskite-silicon and matrix shingle interconnection.

Solar PV solutions provider Nextpower has launched its redesigned NX Gemini two-in-portrait (2P) solar tracker.

Navitas announced investment, Bondada secured EPC contract, SolarSquare raised US$53 million, Gujarat Inject and Waaree won module orders.

China, the world’s largest PV market, is poised to lead sustainable solar module recycling and circular manufacturing, writes Huan Li.

Fraunhofer ISE has increased the performance of its III-V germanium solar module from 34.2% to 34.4% using shingle-matrix technology.

Lu Chuan, chairman of CHINT and its subsidiary Astronergy, outlines his prudent approach to navigating the difficulties facing China's PV manufacturers.

The ongoing permitting challenge is a key factor slowing down solar manufacturing and deployment in the US, according to T1 Energy’s CEO, Dan Barcelo.
