Scientists in Japan have developed a new approach which they claim can improve the durability of tin-based perovskite solar cells.

Turkish solar manufacturer Kalyon PV has commissioned a 1.1GW solar cell processing line in its home country.

Scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems ISE claim to have reduced the silver content of TOPCon solar cells tenfold.

PV Tech Research’s annual ranking of the top ten PV module manufacturers reveals some signs of recovery after a turbulent 2025, writes Moustafa Ramadan.

As TOPCon manufacturing expands globally, producers are facing different cost, safety and supply-chain realities – creating an opportunity to rethink technology platforms and prepare for next-generation tandem architectures.

An anticipated uptick in US cell manufacturing presents opportunities for European PV tool producers, says RENA Technologies’ Michael Vees.

US cell manufacturer ES Foundry is proceeding with expansion plans despite a six-month delay due to recent trade and tax credit policy uncertainties.

PV Talk: Alex Zhu, CEO of US-based solar cell manufacturer ES Foundry discusses why a heated litigation landscape led to a choice of PERC cell technology for the South Carolina factory, the fate of US tax credits and taking advantage of wafer surplus in southeast Asia.

Singulus Technologies has formed a new joint venture, Singulus Solar, to provide manufacturing equipment for TOPCon and heterojunction (HJT) cells and modules.

By the end of 2023, PV production capacity will exceed 450GW, putting TOPCon technology first in market share in the following years.
