solar cell

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have unveiled a new ‘paper-thin’ solar PV cell that can be applied to a variety of surfaces to generate highly integrable, versatile solar energy, they say.

Australia must build out its solar supply chain, from silicon production to end-of-life processes, and reduce its reliance on imported cells and modules if it is to achieve its potential as a global PV superpower.

Imports of solar modules in India decreased by 64% in Q3 2022 compared with the prior quarter whilst cell imports increased by the same amount, according to consultancy JMK Research.

Enel North America intends to build a solar cell and module manufacturing facility in the US with an initial capacity of at least 3GW.

Solar Module Super League (SMSL) member LONGi has launched a new PV module for the distributed generation (DG) and rooftop market.

Meyer Burger has approved a capital raise to fund a buildout of the company’s manufacturing capacity for solar cells and modules to approximately 3GW.

PV Tech Premium provides a round-up of several key policy measures and company announcements China last week, all with big implications for the global solar PV industry.

Solar Module Super League (SMSL) member JA Solar achieved an operating revenue of RMB49.323 billion (US$6.8 billion) in the first three quarters on 2022, a year-on-year increase of 89%, according to the company’s financial results released yesterday.  

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
