Solar manufacturer Qcells has partnered with Lumet, a specialist in solar cell metallisation technology, to reduce the cost of its cell production lines.
ARENA’s Silicon To Solar study seeks to outline a “credible pathway” for Australia to establish 10GW of polysilicon (poly-si) purification capacity and 5GW of ingot, wafer, cell and module production capacity from 2030.
Everything seems to be pointing to the solar PV manufacturing sector going into a downturn in 2024, with loss-making potentially rife across much of the upstream sector.
