US solar manufacturer T1 Energy has acquired a minority stake in fellow US-based solar cell producer Talon PV.

Talon PV aims to be the first US company to safely manufacture TOPCon cells at scale, backed by European technology and a crucial First Solar licensing deal.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) will build a pilot solar cell line in Germany to support US manufacturer Talon PV’s efforts to establish solar cell capacity in the US.

First Solar has launched a lawsuit against JinkoSolar for alleged infringement of a tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) cell patent.

Talon PV and SEG Solar have signed a deal that will see the former provide US-made n-type cells for the latter’s modules.
