Astronergy is aiming to reach 49GW of solar module capacity this year as it increases efforts to expand TOPCon production while exploring the potential of opening a manufacturing facility in the US.
DAS Solar has launched its N type PRO module, with power output of 635W and a conversion efficiency of up to 22.72%. The module features the company’s exclusive N-type TOPCon 3.0 cell technology, which has achieved an efficiency of 26% in the lab and 25.2% in mass production, underlining the manufacturer’s status as a leader in the industrialization of N-type technology.
PV module manufacturer Suntech has signed a cooperation agreement to build a 10GW TOPCon high-efficiency cell production manufacturing hub in the Chinese province of Anhui.
2022 saw the arrival of DAS Solar as one of the PV industry’s rising stars, the five-year-old company attracting strategic investment from, among others, China Merchants Venture Capital, Three Gorges Capital and Yongfu Shares.
SolarSpace Technology has officially announced the completion of a new high-efficiency TOPCon cell facility in Chuzhou, China, with an annual production capacity of 16GW.
Astronergy has announced that 355MW of its ASTRO N n-type TOPCon modules are to be installed at the Walla Walla Solar Farm in New South Wales’ Riverina region.
Using an in-house tool and PVsyst simulation software, a team from Chint New Energy Technology Co. analyse the LCOE of utility-scale solar systems in various countries based on three technologies: PERC, TOPCon and HJT.
CSI Solar, the majority-owned subsidiary of PV manufacturer Canadian Solar, will commence mass production of high-efficiency n-type TOPCon solar modules from Q1 2023. The company said its TOPCon modules could reach up to 690W of power output.
