Chinese solar manufacturer Aiko Solar said yesterday (31 October) it has partnered with the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) to launch a US$4 million initiative aiming to achieve 30% efficiency with interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells.

Tongwei has set a record for heterojunction (HJT) power output, with its latest module delivering a maximum power output of 776.2W.

Chinese solar manufacturer Huasun has secured a bid to supply 1GW of heterojunction (HJT) modules to a floating solar PV (FPV) project in China.

Figures in the Energy Technology Perspectives 2024 (ETP-24) report show the global market for renewables will triple over the next ten years.

The latest ‘PV ModuleTech Bankability Ratings Quarterly’ report reveals a Chinese sector on the verge of widespread company insolvencies.

JinkoSolar has published its financial results for the third quarter of the year, which include the shipments of over 23.8GW of modules.

At the UK launch of LONGi’s Hi-MO 9 module, PV Tech spoke with the company’s Europe president, Leon Zhang, about his belief that back contact technology represents the future of crystalline silicon PV.

The company attributed this loss to the ongoing decline in the average selling prices of polysilicon and silicon wafer products.

The latest figures from the Silicon Branch of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association showed that polysilicon prices have remained flat.

Sonangol and Qinghai Lihao Clean Energy plan to build a polysilicon plant, which will produce PV modules made of quartz ore, in Angola.
