supply chain

The White House must “act immediately to solve the urgent issues interfering with investment in domestic solar manufacturing”, according to a statement from the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America (SEMA) coalition.

The US secretary of the Treasury, Janet L. Yellen, has said the US “wouldn’t want to rule out” protective trade measures to combat overcapacity of solar PV and energy storage manufacturing in China.

The EU has approved a law which will require companies to audit their supply chains for environmental damage and human rights abuse.

A major multinational glass company has verified that the crushed glass produced from used solar modules by Solarcycle can be used to make high-quality PV glass sheets, which has never been proven before, the PV recycling firm’s CEO has revealed exclusively to PV Tech Premium.

PV Tech Premium spoke with Origami Solar on how solar steel frames could help ease up the supply chain issues of module frames in the US and Europe.

The European Commission has acknowledged the current state of Europe's solar manufacturers, yet has come short of implementing any measures.

Scatec posted record-high revenues and construction figures over 2023 which it said was facilitated by lower module and BESS prices.

“Every year, we see more attention from our customers, for whom this is becoming more at the top of their minds. Usually in PV, it’s been volume price and spec of the product. But now it's also how do we make that product, besides pure performance,” says Cemil Seber, VP of global marketing at REC Solar.

US solar manufacturer CubicPV has signed a long-term supply agreement with South Korean-owned polysilicon producer OCIM to support its planned solar wafer manufacturing facility.

Countries beyond China will need to invest US$700 billion to develop their renewables production capacity, according to Rystad Energy.
