Chinese PV manufacturer Aiko has issued two major announcements regarding its plans to accelerate production of its high-efficiency all-back-contact (ABC) technology.
Solar PV accounted for more than a quarter of total global energy demand growth in 2025, becoming the single largest contributor to new energy supply, according to the International Energy Agency.
Rumours of a closed-door meeting in China to discuss polysilicon production cuts sent the share prices of several leading players higher before they were widely denied.
PV manufacturing capital expenditure is expected to rebound this year, following two years in the doldrums as the industry weathered a global oversupply of modules, new figures show.
