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.

JinkoSolar has published its latest sales figures, having shipped over 52GW of modules in the first nine months of the year.
