As TOPCon manufacturing expands globally, producers are facing different cost, safety and supply-chain realities – creating an opportunity to rethink technology platforms and prepare for next-generation tandem architectures.
Chinese wafer producer TCL Zhonghuan is planning to take a controlling stake in cell and module manufacturer DAS Solar to strengthen its vertical integration.
US solar technology company Swift Solar has deployed perovskite solar technology as part of a Department of Defence cyber warfare exercise in the state of Virginia.
Scientists from Germany and Saudi Arabia have discovered that perovskite thin-film cells are compatible with current industry standard silicon solar cells, which they claim is a “crucial step toward the industrialisation of perovskite silicon tandem solar cells”.
