In this week's PV Chart of the Week, we look at disparity between announced and operational cell and module manufacturing capacity in the US across PERC, TOPCon and HJT.

ES Foundry plans to transition from PERC to n-type technology while expanding US cell production amid evolving supply-chain challenges.

ES Foundry's Alex Zhu outlines how the US cell maker is betting on PERC while navigating shifting regulations and supply-chain constraints.

This week's PV Chart of the Week profiles the technology breakdown of projected US solar cell production capacity.

In the second of a two-part post, Moustafa Ramadan, head of PV Tech Research, explores the increasingly complex risks associated with solar cell procurement in the US.

PV Talk: Kiwa PVEL's Tristan Erion-Lorico discusses highlights in the 2026 Module Reliability Scorecard, including UVID and delamination.

Monocrystalline passivated emitter rear contact (PERC) modules saw a 20% increase in average price in the US, according to Anza.

PV module defects are increasing as manufacturers struggle to achieve consistent quality through robust bill-of-material and process controls.

US solar module prices jumped in Q3 2025 as developers scrambled to meet the 2 September 2025 safe harbour deadline for Investment Tax Credit (ITC) qualification, according to supply chain platform Anza.

An anticipated uptick in US cell manufacturing presents opportunities for European PV tool producers, says RENA Technologies’ Michael Vees.
