China is reviewing the expiry of decade-old anti-dumping measures on US and South Korean polysilicon imports.

The US Department of Commerce (DoC) has awarded polysilicon producer Hemlock Semiconductor up to US$325 million in direct funding.

The company claimed that its US offtake customer, Hanwha Qcells, “Is not able to wait any longer for delivery of product".

Tongwei Solar and Daqo New Energy have announced that, to minimise price competition, they will reduce and control polysilicon production.

In the final days of 2024, PV Tech is looking back at the stories that dominated the headlines in each quarter of the year.

Indonesian energy policy think tank, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), has penned a new report stating that the country stands to gain from the influx of new solar manufacturing capabilities yet is still underutilising its generation potential.

Both polysilicon and solar wafers will see their tariff increase from 25% to 50% and take effect on 1 January 2025.

The standard aims to trace silicon from quartz mining to solar module production and implement management and broader ESG measures.

Materials science firm Corning has unveiled plans to build a solar wafer manufacturing plant in the US, according to a local news outlet.

The results continue the downward trend in polysilicon manufacturers’ fortunes as the market faces oversupply, cutthroat competition and prices below the cost of production.
