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.

Chinese module manufacturer Trina Solar has achieved a 25.9% cell efficiency for a bifacial i-TOPCON solar cell.

Fierce competition and the emergence of technologies such as TOPCon have led to an uptick in the prevalence of patent infringement lawsuits between PV companies. Tom Kenning reports.

JinkoSolar has launched its latest range of modules, the Tiger Neo 3.0 series, which boast a power conversion efficiency of 24.8%.

2023 was a 'record year' for solar installations, dominated by China which is 'well above the sum of all other markets globally', the IEA said.
