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.
Indian power company AmpIn Energy Transition has invested INR31 billion (US$371.7 million) to build renewables projects of more than 600MW and a solar cell and module manufacturing plant.
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.
German technology group and PV component manufacturer Heraeus has acquired an undisclosed stake in French PV manufacturing startup Holosolis to support the development of its planned 5GW module assembly plant in Hambach, France.
Solar cell manufacturer Suniva has unveiled the restart of its manufacturing operations with up to 2.5GW of monocrystalline silicon solar cells in Georgia, US.
