PV Tech picks apart the performance of the top six global PV module suppliers, examining their H1 financial and shipment results as well as their upcoming development plans.
Tongwei Solar, EGing PV and LONGi have been shortlisted as candidates for the fifth module procurement round of Hong Kong energy company China Resources Power.
Solar module prices for international markets are expected to fall in tandem with forecasted polysilicon price reductions as of 2023, according to research from Clean Energy Associates (CEA).
The average price of polysilicon rose again this week, marking the 28th round of prices increases this year alone, according to data released by China’s Silicon Industry Association.
The Chinese government has issued a notice to its PV industry that calls for the optimisation of the sector and further buildout of its infrastructure while warning against hoarding products and the establishment of solar monopolies.
Chinese Solar Module Super League (SMSL) member JinkoSolar has been forced to lower its production output at its Sichuan factories due to ongoing power rationing in the Chinese region.
LONGi has increased the planned production capacity of a new ingot and wafer project from 20GW to 46GW, with the originally planned high-efficiency mono cell capacity of 30GW and high-efficiency PV module capacity of 5GW remaining unchanged.
