Thin-Film

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”.

Huasun claims it has set new record efficiencies for HJT-perovskite tandem solar cells at both laboratory and commercial scales.

US solar module manufacturer First Solar saw sales and net profits increase in Q2 2025, as it forecasts a strong performance under the Trump administration’s industrial and trade policy changes.

Researchers at the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS) have claimed a record 26.4% conversion efficiency in a perovskite-organic tandem cell.

Swedish thin-film solar manufacturer Midsummer signed a 15MW order for a turnkey thin-film solar cells production line.
