This 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.

We quizzed him over the trends dominating conference floor discussions, from the barriers holding bifacial from mass-scale success to what, ultimately, constitutes bankability in today’s module manufacturing.
