Chinese PV manufacturer Risen Energy saw significant profit and revenue growth in 2022 as the company looked to expand its module production capacity and develop new technologies.
The US market is expected to see a strong uptick in overall module supply, both domestic and overseas, in 2023. Alongside this will be a range of different module technologies, making the US market the most differentiated from a technology standpoint this year.
PV modules will keep changing in the quest for higher efficiency and energy yield. However, the rapid and sometimes simultaneous introduction of new technologies increases overall quality risk, writes George Touloupas, senior director at Clean Energy Associates.
PV manufacturer Risen Energy has recorded a 23.89% efficiency rating on its Hyper-ion heterojunction technology (HJT) solar module, which it claims is a new world record for HJT module efficiency.
Chinese module manufacturer Risen Energy has revealed its plan to expand the production capacity of its Hyper-ion solar cell and module to 15GW in 2023.
PV manufacturer Goldi Solar is planning to participate in India’s expanded production-linked incentive (PLI) programme as it bids to ramp up its module and cell production to 6GW and 5GW, respectively, by the end of 2025.
Using an in-house tool and PVsyst simulation software, a team from Chint New Energy Technology Co. analyse the LCOE of utility-scale solar systems in various countries based on three technologies: PERC, TOPCon and HJT.
The head of Enel’s 3Sun Gigafactory says the company is in advanced discussions over ventures further upstream than solar cells to make a robust supply chain in the US and explains the advantages of bifacial HJT and tandem technology to be produced at its planned US manufacturing facility.
Solar module manufacturer REC has shelved the construction of a 4GW French heterojunction module manufacturing facility, citing "changes in market conditions".
