JA Solar is looking to capitalise on strong demand for modules in the Middle East as developers plan ever-larger solar projects and governments encourage the deployment of distributed PV systems.
Module manufacturer Meyer Burger has introduced a new product platform for its solar modules, enabling the scalability of new manufacturing capacities and accelerating mass production.
A number of solar module manufacturers have reportedly bid for financial incentives offered by the Indian government to expand domestic manufacturing of solar panels.
The state government of Queensland has issued a draft proposal to ban the dumping of solar modules in landfill, instead encouraging a recycling programme to repurpose the materials.
JA Solar intends to fund the construction of a major PV manufacturing facility by issuing convertible bonds to raise up to RMB8.96 billion (US$1.3 billion).
