The Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has issued a draft rule raising the minimum capital ratio for solar PV manufacturing projects to 30%.

The world will add 3.8TWac of new solar capacity by 2033, alongside 1.6TW of new wind capacity, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The company talks to PV Tech about challenges and opportunities in the solar PV market in Europe, as well as its manufacturing capacity.

A collective effort will be required to realise the potential of the solar PV industry, according to Sonia Dunlop of the Global Solar Council.

Innovations in wafer sophistication and advances in cell output voltage will be key developments in upstream solar, Martin Green told PV Tech.

Seven Chinese module manufacturers have joined forces to standardise the dimensions of n-type PV modules and the position of mounting holes.

Chinese module manufacturer Trina Solar has signed a collaboration agreement with IES-UPM to drive innovation in the solar industry.

Chinese state-owned power company China Three Gorges Renewables has announced a plan to build a 8GW solar PV project in Inner Mongolia, China.

The Asia-Pacific region stands to benefit from localised balance of system manufacturing in its solar industry, the IEEFA said.
