JinkoSolar is currently on track to regain the position of number one module supplier by volume in 2023, fulfilling a three-year goal.

With three years of financial and business data available, we can start to analyse a number of possible trends, one of these is the changing landscape surrounding Sunnova's supplier base for PV modules, inverters and energy storage.

Having topped solar module manufacturer shipments in 2013, Yingli’s next five years were typified by falling revenues and increasing debt. Now, with a complex restructuring underway, Yingli has plans to reach the top again. PV Tech gets inclusive insight into how that restructure is taking shape.

Struggling PV module manufacturer Yingli Green Energy said that its main manufacturing and sales subsidiary has entered court-appointed administration to restructure its debt obligations.

China-based PV manufacturer Yingli Green Energy reports the departure of four of its independent directors, who left their positions effective March 6, 2020.

Based on analysis of 21 PV manufacturers that were listed on various stock exchanges around the world in 2018, PV Tech can reveal the top 10 R&D spenders.

PV Tech has been covering analysis of R&D expenditures of PV manufacturers for over a decade. This blog anticipates some of the key trends set to be fully revealed in the forthcoming edition of technical journal Photovoltaics International.

This article introduces a new methodology that allows leading PV module producers to be categorised by manufacturing and financial strength metrics, ultimately providing an investor-risk (or bankability) profile for non-residential end-market selection.

The PV industry roadmap - and related metrics of technology and bankability - are now being driven by leading module supplier, JinkoSolar, with others seeking to replicate Jinko’s product line options, trying to differentiate in markets that are receptive to low-cost alternatives, or focusing only on rooftop markets where volumes are lower and sales/distribution efforts are more intensive.

Debt-laden and technically bankrupt PV module manufacturer, Yingli Green Energy has reported a major decline in its PV panel shipments and revenue in 2018, due to the ‘China 531 New Deal’ that impacted demand for its products.
