The US introduced a 15% tariff on imports of products using polysilicon and set minimum prices for polysilicon and its derivatives.

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.

Indian solar module manufacturer Kosol Energie has launched a new n-type glass-glass hail-resistant module.

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

T1 Energy has signed a module supply deal with Clearway Energy. The modules will use domestically-produced cells from T1’s Austin facility.

Glenn Davis at Kiwa PI Berlin writes about why quality assurance has become one of the foundations for a solar PV project's bankability.

Trinasolar has been selected to supply solar modules for the Good Earth Green Hydrogen and Ammonia project in New South Wales, Australia.

Anza figures show that the median price for a solar PV module assembled in the US held steady at US$0.3/W in July 2026.

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.
