heterojunction

Swiss-owned solar manufacturer Meyer Burger has clarified the terms of its recently-announced rights issue, designed to raise money towards its US manufacturing expansion plans.

PV Tech spoke with QW Solar's chairwoman about heterojunction technology, capacity planning, market strategy and annual targets.

The selection of a module's technology should be more dependent on effective dollar per watt rather than the cost of the product.

PV manufacturer Meyer Burger has decided to close its module assembly plant in Germany and focus on its footprint in the US.

Meyer Burger has started “receiving shipments of equipment and tools” at its newest manufacturing facility in the US state of Arizona.

LONGi has developed a crystalline silicon heterojunction back-contact solar cell, which boasts a conversion efficiency of 27.09%.

In the final days of the year, PV Tech is looking back at the solar sector in 2023, including the COP28 climate conference in Dubai.

Chinese solar manufacturer Huasun has claimed a “record-breaking” power output and conversion efficiency for its heterojunction technology (HJT) modules.

Many companies and research teams demonstrated impressive results in major releases this year, effectively consolidating the competitiveness of HJT technology and promoting the development of solar energy.

TW (Tongwei) Solar entered the PV industry in 2006, initially specialising in polysilicon production before going on to establish itself as a world-leading manufacturer, currently creating waves in the high-efficiency PV module sector.
