First Solar will supply 170MW of Series 6 Plus bifacial modules and 287MW of Series 7 modules to MN8's projects in the US.

Under the agreement, First Solar will supply its Series 6 Plus bifacial thin-film PV modules to the St. Louis-based company. 

Major Chinese module manufacturer Trina Solar shipped more than 65GW of modules in 2023, growing its revenue by over 27% in 2022.

The company's CEO Detlef Neuhaus said operating production in Germany was extremely difficult economically.

An increase in solar module prices is “hard to imagine unless there is a massive shortage in supply”, according to PV Tech head of research Finlay Colville.

US renewables firm Clean Energy Associates (CEA) predicts that the solar industry’s latest anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition has a “high likelihood” of resulting in duties being paid on solar imports.

A group of US-based solar manufacturers have filed an antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition to the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and International Trade Commission (ITC).

Spanish solar tracker company Soltec has announced a supply deal with fellow Spanish solar developer X-Elio in the same week as it launched a new utility-scale solar tracker system.

US cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar manufacturer First Solar has agreed to pursue further thin-film technology development with Germany’s Center for Solar Energy and Hydrogen Research Baden-Württemberg (ZSW).

Low solar module prices kept solar PV competitive in the energy market in 2023 despite generally falling electricity prices.
