Polish independent power producer (IPP) R.Power has started contracting a 134MWp solar PV portfolio in Poland.

Major Chinese solar manufacturer LONGi is reportedly cutting about 30% of its workforce due to overcapacity.

In an interview with a Chinese media outlet, LONGi said prices were often the sole criteria in the bidding process for solar PV components.

Major Chinese solar manufacturer LONGi has sign an agreement with Spanish power company Naturgy to offer 574MWp of modules.

Major Chinese solar manufacturer LONGi has signed an agreement with solar company Nofar Energy Nofar Energy Romania to supply 576MW of PV modules.

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

From the world’s largest project being commissioned to a possible downturn for solar manufacturers in 2024, and including the US Department of Treasure releasing guidance from the Inflation Reduction Act. Here, PV Tech runs down its top 10 stories of the past 12 months.

LONGi has developed a crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem solar cell with a power conversion efficiency of 33.9%, the highest on record.

LONGi has chosen to develop back-contact (BC) cells, again based on n-type technology, announcing plans to invest RMB3.92 billion (US$536 million) on production. Future cells will be based on the company’s HPBC ‘PRO’ high-efficiency technology, with roll-out expected to gradually commence from November 2024, reaching full capacity a year later.

Large PV manufacturers committing to perovskites is an encouraging sign for the perovskite sector, according to a Rethink Energy report.
