Indian state-owned energy company GAIL has partnered with green gases producer AM Green (AMG) to jointly explore establishing 2.5GW of hybrid solar PV and wind projects across India.

Solex will 'explore' the development of a 2GW solar cell production facility with the capacity to ramp up to 5GW.

The global weighted average LCOE of utility-scale PV plants fell to US$0.044/kWh in 2023, a 12% year-on-year decline from 2022.

The average price of n-type material last week reached RMB41,700/ton (US$5,933), up 0.24% month-on-month, while other quotations remained stable, according to the latest figures.

LONGi has released its performance report for H1 2024, which includes the shipment of close to 80GW of cells, wafers and modules.

Gautam Solar estimated its investment in the 2GW TOPCon solar cell manufacturing plant to be nearly US$120 million.

The power will be produced at the Khavda solar park, a hybrid technology renewable energy generation facility with a maximum output of 30GW located in the Indian state of Gujarat.

The PV industry is set for a humbling 2025, with the current manufacturing downturn expected to extend well into 2026.

India has called for comments on its proposed addition of cells to its Approved List of Models and Manufacturers (ALMM).

Special funding for certain states could complicate other incentive schemes, while a ten million household rooftop PV scheme faces challenges.
