German solar energy research institute ISC Konstanz has launched five new publicly funded research projects covering the full PV value chain.

ISC Konstanz is upgrading its cleanroom facilities to operate a fully integrated solar cell and module pilot line by Q3 2026. 

The global annual capital expenditure on PV manufacturing equipment is expected to more than double to US$43.8 billion over the next decade, according to a report from VDMA.

ISC Konstanz has partnered with Celloraa Energy to develop a 1.2GW TOPCon cell production facility in Gujarat, India.

ISC Konstanz is working with US solar cell manufacturer Suniva on its 1GW silicon solar cell production facility in the state of Georgia.

Talk of manufacturing consolidation, excitement over energy storage and other key takeaways from Intersolar Europe 2025.

While other technologies exist, c-Si solar PV technology is the leading candidate for large-scale energy production, writes Radovan Kopecek.

A study exploring the feasibility of resurrecting PV manufacturing in Germany and Europe more widely has identified an eight-cent-per-watt cost gap between modules produced in China and those produced locally.

PV Tech Premium caught up with the French solar PV manufacturing startup Carbon to discuss its plans for expansion, inclusion in a European research and development (R&D) ecosystem and how to redress the balance of EU solar supply.

European solar manufacturing start-up Carbon has partnered with the International Solar Energy Research Center (ISC) Konstanz as it pursues a multi-gigawatt cell manufacturing facility in Europe.
