Thin-Film

Swedish thin-film solar manufacturer Midsummer will ship up to 200MW worth of manufacturing equipment to a planned thin-film solar PV manufacturing facility in Colombia.

Renewables developer Plenitude will deploy perovskite-silicon tandem solar PV modules at a pilot solar project in the US.

US solar module manufacturer First Solar has inaugurated its 3.5GW vertically integrated manufacturing facility in the state of Louisiana, the company’s fifth factory in the US.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) has released the 2025 List of Critical Minerals, which includes silicon and tellurium.

US thin-film module manufacturer First Solar has unveiled plans to build a new 3.7GW manufacturing plant in the US in 2026.

US solar technology company Swift Solar has deployed perovskite solar technology as part of a Department of Defence cyber warfare exercise in the state of Virginia.

US thin-film manufacturer First has revealed another transfer of its 45X manufacturing tax credits in a deal worth around US$775 million.

University of Sydney scientists have created the largest and most efficient triple-junction perovskite-perovskite-silicon solar cell on record.

PV products using perovskite technology could assume a dominant position within the next ten years, according to module producer Qcells' CTO.

Scientists from Germany and Saudi Arabia have discovered that perovskite thin-film cells are compatible with current industry standard silicon solar cells, which they claim is a “crucial step toward the industrialisation of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells”.
