The LECO process used in the production of TOPCon solar cells could increase their resistances by 'orders of magnitude', per new research.

Toyo Solar has announced plans to build a 2GW module manufacturing plant in the US, which it plans to commission next year.

Laser-assisted firing is a major breakthrough in solar technology, according to a scientist from Australia’s University of New South Wales.

Carbon plans to launch the first part of its module production facility in autumn 2025, ahead of a ramp up to an annual cell capacity of 5GW.

Scientists from the University of New South Wales have found that TOPCon modules endure “significant degradation” in damp heat testing.

LONGi has launched its Hi-MO X6 series of solar modules, which include the X6 Guardian product, designed for use in hot and humid climates.

Canadian Solar has delivered its first 700W TOPCon modules, which were made in the US, to US solar distributor Signature Solar.

We look at developments in the research and deployment of TOPCon cells, and consider if the year of TOPCon will continue into 2024.

JA Solar has announced a plan to construct a project in the Ordos High-Tech Zone, with an annual production capacity of 30GW ingots, 10GW silicon wafers, and 10GW modules. The total investment amounted to about RMB6.02 billion (US$870.1 million). 

Chinese module manufacturer Jolywood has claimed that it had achieved a power conversion efficiency of 26.7% for its n-type M10 (182mm) solar cell.
