The site will produce 3GW of passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) crystalline silicon solar cells by Q3 2025, ES Foundry said in an announcement.

French independent power producer Reden has recently launched a module assembly line with an annual nameplate capacity of 200MW in France.

As of H1 2024 India has reached an annual nameplate capacity of 77.2GW for modules and 7.6GW for solar cells, according to Mercom India.

US-based PV manufacturer Mission Solar Energy has unveiled three new modules aimed at commercial and industrial and utility-scale projects.

Innovations in wafer sophistication and advances in cell output voltage will be key developments in upstream solar, Martin Green told PV Tech.

Waaree Energies will supply modules for Juna Renewable Energy’s 412.5MWp project currently under construction in India.

PV Tech speaks to Frank Niendorf of JinKo Solar EU about the company’s growing global footprint, and compliance with sustainability criteria.

The price of solar PV modules has hit bottom in the US, in response to the latest antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition and solar tariffs.

Silicon-based tandem solar cells and modules are expected to enter commercial production in 2027 with a module efficiency of 27%, according to the latest International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV) published by German engineering association VDMA.

Fei Lu and Stephen Xuereb of PI Berlin offer an overview of the present trends in module quality assurance and likely future challenges.
