JA Solar has signed memoranda of understanding with three Pakistani companies to supply 600MW of n-type PV modules.

UL Solutions has awarded its ‘Carbon Footprint of Products Verification’ to the Vertex series of modules, developed Trina Solar.

Tongwei has received a 700MW module order from an Italian affiliate of China National Machinery Import & Export Corporation (CMC).

Chinese solar manufacturing giant LONGi has signed a long-term supply agreement with silicon metal mining and production company Ferroglobe PLC.

In an interview with a Chinese media outlet, LONGi said prices were often the sole criteria in the bidding process for solar PV components.

The ESIA has published a due diligence guide for solar PV supply chains and a letter to state its stance against forced labour.

Solar PV deployments increased by 85% year-on-year in 2023, more than any other renewable technology in a year which saw clean energy deployments curb the rise in carbon emissions.

The proposal would have likely been consequential for the solar PV industry, which is plagued by allegations of forced labour in the production of polysilicon and other upstream components.

The new modules, including the Comet and Neostar series, are aimed to use in C&I and residential operations respectively.

Solar manufacturer Sunova Solar has invested in a solar cell plant with an annual nameplate capacity of 9GW in Sichuan province, China.
