PV Tech Premium sat down with Solar Media’ head of market research, Finlay Colville, to discuss the latest trends in solar modules, different cells technologies and the expected impact of PV manufacturing buildouts in Europe and India
Leading PV manufacturing equipment supplier Meyer Burger has secured orders worth around CHF 22 million (US$23.2 million) from an existing customer in Asia for its PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) technology.
According to the ongoing analysis of global PV manufacturing capacity expansions by PV Tech, high-efficiency solar cell migrations, whether monocrystalline or multicrystalline with PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) and N-type mono heterojunction (HJ) have been gaining strong momentum since 2015.
Specialist PV manufacturing equipment supplier RENA Technologies has secured a significant tool order from China-based LERRI Solar said to be in the double-digit million euro range to meet more than 2GW of monocrystalline PERC solar cell production.
