PV Tech Premium looks at how the AD/CVD ruling will impact the US industry moving forward and why the UFLPA will have a bigger impact.

We develop a novel manufacturing process sequence for polysilicon on oxide (POLO) IBC solar cells by applying a local PECVD SiOxNy/na- Si deposition through a glass shadow mask to form the structured carrier-selective n-poly-Si emitter in a single process step.

Solar Power in the US
The challenges and opportunities of building out the domestic PV supply chain in light of the Inflation Reduction

Lena Dias Martins explores the UK government’s Contracts for Difference scheme which supports the country’s move to a zero-carbon economy.

The Silicon Industry Branch of CNMIA published the latest solar-grade polysilicon prices on 23 August, which were on an upward trend.

Although the floating solar market is expanding, the top 10 countries that will have more than 500MW of cumulative floating solar installations by 2031 are entirely from Asia.

Jason Kaminsky, CEO, kWh Analytics, on how renewable asset owners and their insurers are adapting the way they assess risk from natural catastrophes and extreme weather events.

Assessing how a grid is used, and when its times of peak supply and demand take place, could improve operations as solar capacity expands

In this paper, three generations of silicon heterojunction (HJT) solar cell technical routes in China are reviewed. We define the structure of HJT cells with an amorphous silicon thin film on two surfaces of a monocrystalline-silicon (c-Si) wafer as HJT 1.0, which is the first generation of HJT.

As solar power projects mature, panels increasingly lose efficiency. What do operators do with solar panels once they have reached the end of their lifespan? Will Norman finds out.
