silicon module super league

The big-six Silicon Module Super League (SMSL) members face manufacturing pressures over technology migration meaning big advances may not happen in 2016, writes Finlay Colville.

The big-six c-Si module suppliers in the solar PV industry today – collectively known now as the ‘Silicon Module Super League' – are forecast to take their collective market share of global module supply to almost 50% this, writes Finlay Colville.

Capital expenditure in the PV industry used to be a simple metric to track. A new manufacturing facility meant new capex, it was that easy.

A breakaway 'super league' of silicon module suppliers looks on course to take a 40% market share in 2015, writes Finlay Colville.
