Last year’s PV ModuleTech show in Penang opened once more a window into how manufacturers, and the developers they supply to, are navigating the rapid pace of innovation in the module making industry. The launch of the PV ModuleTech Bankability Ratings as the event got underway placed the spotlight on the financial and industrial health of the world’s top module manufacturers.

On the sidelines of the Malaysia show, PV Tech caught up with Rajaram Pai, business leader of DuPont Electronics & Imaging (E&I) South Asia and Marketing Manager of DuPont Photovoltaic and Advanced Materials (PVAM). We quizzed him over the trends dominating conference floor discussions, from bifacial's real potential beyond the hype to module manufacturing markets-to-watch and the module technologies set to dominate 2020.

Almost half way through another turbulent year in the PV industry, where have we got to so far in 2024? This webinar – delivered exclusively form PV Tech’s head of research, Dr. Finlay Colville, will shed light on how the PV industry is adapting to a new phase of cut-throat pricing, loss-making and trade-war complications. A perfect time to ask questions – before, during and after the live webinar – Dr. Colville will offer his thoughts on: - Why there is so little consolidation in the sector - Why so many companies appear untroubled to accumulate losses - Whether this somewhat toxic manufacturing environment is potentially making technology roadmap projections somewhat easier than in the past
