A group of minority shareholders in Norwegian silicon firm REC Silicon has triggered an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the closure of the company’s US polysilicon production site.
REC Silicon has secured a US$40 million term loan from Hanwha International LLC, a subsidiary of Korean conglomerate and REC majority shareholder, Hanwha Solutions.
Trina Solar has said it will challenge a court decision in Germany that found the company has infringed patented technology from rival PV module manufacturer Qcells.
Having been rebranded with a new ethos and mission, Qcells’ ambitions are supported by a suite of clean energy products as it consolidates its position in the solar PV sector.
Hanwha Solutions is reportedly considering expanding its investment into US solar production if the newly agreed upon Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is passed.
