Solar Frontier Americas has acquired a 50.5MW PV project purchased from CS Solar, a JV company of Samsung Solar Energy. The installation is located in Stanislaus County, California, just a few hours southeast of San Jose.

Solar Frontier has achieved a conversion efficiency of 23.35% on a 1cm² CIS solar PV cell, the highest verified figure for a cell of this type.

A subsidiary of Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company has purchased a yet to be constructed 26MW PV project located in Imperial County, California, from Solar Frontier Americas.

PV manufacturer Solar Frontier has set a new thin-film cell efficiency record of 22.9%.

US developer Solar Frontier Americas Development has sold two fully developed PV project sites to Capital Dynamics.

The production volume of solar PV panels based on thin-film deposition of semiconductor materials on large-area glass panels is set to hit a seven-year low in 2017, in spite of the end-market demand for solar panels increasing by a factor of three over the same time period.

The Americas subsidiary of Solar Frontier has completed the sale of its 40MW Midway II solar plant to a subsidiary of Dominion Energy for an undisclosed sum.

With the industry’s leading PV manufacturing event, PV CellTech 2017, just a few weeks away on 14-15 March 2017 in Penang, Malaysia, PV-Tech took the opportunity to speak with the Chairman of the Technical Advisory Board, Finlay Colville, on what we can expect to learn from the event this year.

Solar Frontier Americas, the US subsidiary of one of the world’s largest CIS module manufacturers, is nearing completion of two solar plants totalling 106MW in Southern California.

Solar panel manufacturers that fail to keep up with emerging technology trends will be under tremendous pressure in 2017, according to host of their peers at SPI 2016.
