Tongwei Solar, EGing PV and LONGi have been shortlisted as candidates for the fifth module procurement round of Hong Kong energy company China Resources Power.
LONGi has increased the planned production capacity of a new ingot and wafer project from 20GW to 46GW, with the originally planned high-efficiency mono cell capacity of 30GW and high-efficiency PV module capacity of 5GW remaining unchanged.
Mark Osborne assesses solar research and development spends of the last decade, contextualising the industry’s current transition to TOPCon and how it has been driven.
The solar industry supply chain’s jitters continued this week after polysilicon prices hit another high, driving silicon wafer prices further upward too.
Leading solar manufacturer LONGi has revealed it expects to finish 2022 with solar wafer, cell and module manufacturing capacity of 150GW, 60GW and 85GW respectively.
