NorSun

Norwegian solar ingot manufacturer NorSun has announced its decision to temporarily stop production and lay off employees due to the influx of "exceptionally low price" Chinese solar modules.

Silfab Solar and NorSun plan to expand ingot and wafer production facilities in the US, to benefit from the Inflation Reduction Act.

Norwegian solar wafer manufacturer NorSun has closed NOK90 million (US$8.5 million) in equity financing to support its expansion in Europe and the US.

The European Commission (EC) has granted €3.6 billion (US$4.04 billion) to 41 large-scale clean tech projects via the EU Innovation Fund, including three projects on PV modules under the clean tech manufacturing category.

Module manufacturer Meyer Burger has signed a supply agreement for silicon wafers with Norwegian solar energy company NorSun.
