c-si manufacturing

A Chinese satellite carrying prototype heterojunction solar modules produced by the leading PV manufacturer JA has been launched into Earth’s orbit.

Guidance on China’s new national PV standards details how the regulatory environment is set to tighten for the country’s PV manufacturers.

JinkoSolar has become the second major Chinese PV producer to remove “solar” from its name to reflect its evolving business activities.

Intertek CEA’s Jordan Wilson discusses how buyers can protect themselves from the ramp-up risk that can emerge after new PV manufacturing facilities begin production.

As a platform designed to map full industrial ecosystems, MAPPES.io is helping identify gaps and bottlenecks in PV manufacturing hotspots such as the US and India, explains its CEO, Ankit Singhal.

The US PV manufacturing sector is set to make huge strides by 2030, but with some upstream constraints unresolved and question marks over future demand drivers.

Heterojunction is emerging as the n-type technology of choice as US PV manufacturers seek to minimise IP-related risks.

In the third part of this week’s series exploring the US solar supply chain, we track how quickly announced manufacturing capacity is translating into real production.

US module production is at a near saturation point, but significant capacity gaps persist further up the supply chain, writes head of PV Tech Research, Moustafa Ramadan.
