Chinese solar manufacturer Aiko Solar said yesterday (31 October) it has partnered with the Australian Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics (ACAP) to launch a US$4 million initiative aiming to achieve 30% efficiency with interdigitated back contact (IBC) solar cells.

Australia’s national science agency, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), has opened a new AU$6.8 million (US$4.47 million) printed flexible solar cell facility in Victoria.

Hounen Solar and Solar Long PV-Tech have said they do not have the resources to continue participating in the investigation.

“The required investment and technical know-how [for establishing cell capacity] is significantly more complex and substantial [than modules]”, Colville said.

Solex will 'explore' the development of a 2GW solar cell production facility with the capacity to ramp up to 5GW.

Section 301 tariffs to be implemented in 2024 will take effect on 27 September, such is the case for solar cells.

Australian startup SunDrive Solar has revealed that it has undergone a restructuring of the company, resulting in job cuts, as it looks to “sharpen focus on solar”.
