After a challenging year for polysilicon producers, Carrie Xiao assesses whether market conditions will improve and prices rebound.

SunDrive Solar has partnered with Capral Aluminium to build a sustainable and domestic supply chain for solar PV in Australia.

Solarcycle will buy naturally produced soda ash from Genesis Alkali, a key component in glass production.

The Indian government has imposed preliminary antidumping measures on solar glass producers exporting products from China and Vietnam.

The company has established a US subsidiary, CPS Glass USA Corp., and has applied for the Department of Energy’s investment tax credit (ITC).

The solar panel recycling factory will be adjacent to the solar glass recycling plant Solarcycle is currently building in Georgia.

Materials science firm Corning has unveiled plans to build a solar wafer manufacturing plant in the US, according to a local news outlet.

The results continue the downward trend in polysilicon manufacturers’ fortunes as the market faces oversupply, cutthroat competition and prices below the cost of production.

The company attributed this loss to the ongoing decline in the average selling prices of polysilicon and silicon wafer products.

The latest figures from the Silicon Branch of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association showed that polysilicon prices have remained flat.
