Modules

China is on track to install a record 230GW of new solar and wind capacity this year, according to a report from Wood Mackenzie.

Indian solar manufacturer Waaree has shipped 850MW of PERC modules to Spanish developer Acciona Energia for use at its solar sites in the US.

Indian power company AmpIn Energy Transition has invested INR31 billion (US$371.7 million) to build renewables projects of more than 600MW and a solar cell and module manufacturing plant.

Chinese solar module manufacturer Hanersun will supply 400MW of its n-type modules to Brazilian solar investment platform Solfácil for its distributed generation operations.

As the industry leaves behind p-type technology, most module manufacturers have either chosen tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) or heterojunction to jump towards n-type modules, with some opting for back contact (BC) cells to transition towards the new technology.

Solar Module Super League (SMSL) member Trina Solar has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Australian solar wholesale distributor Solar Juice which will see the latter buy 1GW of Trina Solar modules.

Parliament’s decision has been met with both approval and some trepidation by representatives in the European solar industry. It will now pass to negotiations with the European Council to clarify its specifics.

Thin-film manufacturer First Solar is well placed to weather any downturn in PV manufacturing going into 2024.

Tongwei Solar has presented its latest n-type TOPCon half-cut cell module products at the 6th China International PV Industry Conference in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan province.

Armor Group says its experience in the French, German and wider European markets can support Holosolis' commercial development.
