Clean energy manufacturing – led by solar PV expansions – accounted for 4% of global GDP growth in 2023, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Italian solar manufacturing machinery producer Ecoprogetti has installed a new, 250MW automated production line at a facility in Bulgaria.

The latest solar shingle factory will increase its capacity by 500% and bring total production of its solar shingle to 300MW annually.

Kiwa PVEL's Tristan Erion-Lorico talks about his view on AD/CVD regulations and Kiwa PVEL's Module Reliability Scorecard.

Of the total production volume, the company’s Series 6 modules accounted for 2.4GW, with the remaining production being the Series 7 modules. 

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.
