PV manufacturer Canadian Solar’s first US-made solar cells are expected to be produced by the end of March in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

India added 119GW of solar module and over 9GW of solar cell manufacturing capacity in 2025, according to Mercom’s latest report.

German wet processing equipment manufacturer RENA Technologies will supply its equipment to a planned 1.2GW TOPCon solar cell production facility in India.

T1 Energy has started construction on the 2.1GW first phase of its TOPCon cell manufacturing facility in Texas.

JA Solar is a lead partner in a joint venture that broke ground this week on a new 2GW solar PV cell, 2GW module and 1GWh energy storage manufacturing facility in Egypt.

US solar manufacturer T1 Energy has acquired a minority stake in fellow US-based solar cell producer Talon PV.

Talon PV aims to be the first US company to safely manufacture TOPCon cells at scale, backed by European technology and a crucial First Solar licensing deal.

The Indian solar industry has 86GW and 182GW of solar cell and module manufacturing capacity, respectively, expected to be commissioned by 2027.
