The statement came on the same day that European solar manufacturing stalwart Meyer Burger announced plans to abandon its module assembly plant in Germany because of the lack of support afforded to manufacturers in Europe.

The power will come from Atlas Renewable Energy's 787MWp Luiz Carlos solar project located in the municipality of Paracatu, Minas Gerais.

PV manufacturer Meyer Burger has decided to close its module assembly plant in Germany and focus on its footprint in the US.

The streamlining of all phases of a PV project will be essential to ensuring anticipated deployment goals are met. Tom Kenning looks at the AI-enabled technologies helping speed up project construction and easing a shortage of skilled labour.

Dutch-German solar testing firm Sinovoltaics will expand its operations in the US market as a result of the solar and battery energy storage manufacturing “boom” stimulated by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

RENA Technologies has received orders for what it described as “several gigawatts” of solar production capacity in 2023.

“Every year, we see more attention from our customers, for whom this is becoming more at the top of their minds. Usually in PV, it’s been volume price and spec of the product. But now it's also how do we make that product, besides pure performance,” says Cemil Seber, VP of global marketing at REC Solar.

Solar PV systems generated about 59.9TWh of electricity in 2023, up by about 1% year-on-year, according to a Fraunhofer ISE study.

Apex and Microsoft have signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) that will see the latter buy electricity from the Wheatsborough solar project

Europe has to find a balance between a rapid need to scale up PV manufacturing capacity and innovation to remain competitive, according to a report from The European Technology & Innovation Platforms for Photovoltaics (ETIP PV).
