The PV industry is undergoing rapid technology changes that have been driven by the well documented, swift adoption of monocrystalline wafers. Less well understood is that, within this wafer technology transition comes a shift to larger wafer sizes and this includes p-type and n-type mono-Si wafers.
The largest monocrystalline wafer producer, LONGi Green Energy Technology Co has signed another project investment agreement to build and operate a 5GW PV module assembly plant.
Inline solar cell measurement equipment specialist Aurora Solar Technologies (AST) has secured new orders from a major China-based manufacturer of solar cell and module manufacturing automation systems.
Perovskite solar cell developer, Oxford PV has secured £34 million in new funding for a 200MW heterojunction (HJT) solar cell line from Meyer Burger to start production of perovskite - silicon tandem cells in 2020.
Pellucere Technologies has claimed to have developed the world’s first field-installable, anti-reflective, anti-soiling solar panel coating, which is said to boosts energy generation and reduces cleaning. The MoreSun product includes an Anti-Reflective (AR) & Anti-Soiling (AS) silica shield to any solar array.
Leading ‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member, JinkoSolar has set its sights on PV module shipments globally in 2019 reaching between 14GW to 15GW, which would be a new industry record for a module manufacturer after setting a new shipment benchmark of 11.4GW in 2018.
Leading ‘Solar Module Super League’ (SMSL) member, JinkoSolar is expanding production capacity of high-efficiency products to meet demand as the company is almost fully allocated for 2019.
REC Group has launched its latest addition to its ‘N-Peak’ series panels, designed with residential rooftop stylish aesthetics and high-performance needs.
