Indian solar PV manufacturer Agastya Energy has started construction of its integrated ingot and wafer manufacturing facility in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Premier Energies expects to begin construction of the first phase of its planned 10GW ingot and wafer manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh shortly.
Prospective solar wafer manufacturer Sunwafe has appointed a new CEO and secured permits for a 30-hectare site in northern Spain, in efforts to establish Europe’s “first” large-scale, 20GW silicon ingot and wafer production facility.
Wang Bohua, honorary chairman of the China PV Industry Association (CPIA), said that the polysilicon production in China experienced its first year-on-year decline since 2013, while wafer production registered its first year-on-year decline since 2009.
