c-si manufacturing

New research undertaken by PV Tech can exclusively reveal that Hanwha Q CELLS is on track to become the leading c-Si cell producer (by MW volume) in 2015. Finlay Colville has the story.

In the second blog looking at the top c-Si cell producers, Finlay Colville discusses which technologies they have chosen in order to retain high fab productivity and market competitiveness.

Capital expenditure in the PV industry used to be a simple metric to track. A new manufacturing facility meant new capex, it was that easy.

A breakaway 'super league' of silicon module suppliers looks on course to take a 40% market share in 2015, writes Finlay Colville.

Bifacial cell and module technologies are gradually finding their way into mass production. Radovan Kopecek and Joris Libal of ISC Konstanz explain why they think the future is bifacial.
