Future heterojunction technology (HJT) solar cells may require significantly less silver to produce, according to findings from researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE).

US polysilicon manufacturer REC Silicon expects to ship the first solar-grade polysilicon from its Moses Lake, Washington facility by the end of June.

The price of polysilicon continues to decline, in some cases below production costs, prompting a wait-and-see attitude within the PV industry.

Singapore-headquartered solar manufacturer Gstar Solar has broken ground on a silicon rod and wafer-slicing plant in Indonesia.

US renewables firm Clean Energy Associates (CEA) predicts that the solar industry’s latest anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition has a “high likelihood” of resulting in duties being paid on solar imports.

A group of US-based solar manufacturers have filed an antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition to the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and International Trade Commission (ITC).

Low solar module prices kept solar PV competitive in the energy market in 2023 despite generally falling electricity prices.

The European Commission (EC) has announced its European Solar Charter, a package intended to support domestic European solar manufacturing.

Reshoring the critical manufacturing steps in the solar supply chain intersects with environmental considerations, writes NexWafe CEO Davor Sutija.

Australia’s Prime Minister has announced an Inflation Reduction Act-style investment package to stimulate a domestic clean energy manufacturing industry.
