Chinese PV manufacturer Aiko has issued two major announcements regarding its plans to accelerate production of its high-efficiency all-back-contact (ABC) technology.

Since the start of March, several leading Chinese PV manufacturers have announced overseas module supply agreements.

Chinese solar PV manufacturer Aiko Solar will license a raft of solar cell technology patents from Singapore-based manufacturer Maxeon.

For the past two years, China’s PV manufacturers have been locked in a cycle of intense competition and price wars.

Solar manufacturer Maxeon has filed a new patent infringement lawsuit against fellow PV manufacturer Aiko before the Munich Regional Court I in Germany.

Radovan Kopecek and Christian Peter look ahead to an event in Yiwu, China, later this month, where the wider commercialisation of high-efficiency back contact PV technology will be under the spotlight.

PV Talk: AIKO's chief scientist, Yongqian Wang, tells PV Tech Premium that copper is now a “highly suitable” alternative to silver.

Chinese solar manufacturer Trinasolar has achieved a 30.6% large-area perovskite-silicon tandem module efficiency.

Solar manufacturers Aiko Solar and Canadian Solar showcased their latest modules, while 7Secondsolar, LONGi Solar and Weidmüller won in the Photovoltaics (PV) category at this year's The smarter E Award. 

LONGi chairman Zhong Baoshen talks to Carrie Xiao about the company's plans to upgrade all its back contact production to second-generation technology.
