SunPower has breached a credit agreement, and Enphase Energy has announced layoffs, raising concern over the companies' ability to operate.

The US solar industry has registered its best third quarter with 6.5GW of PV installed in Q3 2023, however residential started to show a slowdown in certain states.

As the industry leaves behind p-type technology, most module manufacturers have either chosen tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) or heterojunction to jump towards n-type modules, with some opting for back contact (BC) cells to transition towards the new technology.

Tongwei Solar has presented its latest n-type TOPCon half-cut cell module products at the 6th China International PV Industry Conference in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan province.

US domestic solar company SunPower has lowed its FY2023 guidance due to reduced consumer demand, delayed revenue recognition from longer cycle times, and a net loss of more than US$30 million in the third quarter this year.

US residential solar installer Sunnova's new customer addition slightly dropped to over 37,000 in the third quarter this year, while its net loss in the same quarter increased to US$56.5 million year-on-year.

PV Data looks at the Italian market in 2023 and how it is expected to reach 4GW of installed solar capacity, as well as agriPV's interest.

The US Department of Energy has agreed to supply up to US$3.3 billion in loan funding to US residential solar developer Sunnova.

Italy has installed more than 2.3GW of solar PV in the first half of 2023, according to the latest figures from industry association Italia Solare.

US distributed solar supplier has acquired a portfolio of over 2,400 residential solar systems and contracts in the US.
