Solar Manufacturing News

Solar cells based upon perovskites, calcium titanium oxide minerals or compounds with similar structures, are amongst one of the most appealing emerging energy options. Over the past couple of years, engineers and material researchers have been exploring the capacity of solar mini-modules (i.e., little cells that can be utilized to develop larger-scale solar panels) made from perovskite bifacial structures.

Japan-based chemicals business, Kaneka, has actually reported the design of a two-terminal (2T) perovskite-crystalline tandem solar cell making use of a 145 μm thick commercial Czochralski (CZ) silicon wafer.

Italian solar (PV) panel maker FuturaSun will certainly move into solar cell manufacturing, planning a factory in Huai'an, in the Chinese province of Jiangsu, which will at some point reach a yearly capacity of 10 GW.

United States thin-film photovoltaics (PV) manufacturer Very first Solar Inc (NASDAQ: FSLR) today introduced the acquisition of perovskite technology expert Evolar AB to increase its efforts to create next-generation tandem PV technology.

The company is developing a grand 'Amara Raja Giga Corridor' in which it will certainly produce lithium cells with a capacity of upto 16 GWh and also battery packs of upto 5 GWh. Originally it will construct facilities that will serve as an innovative energy research study and also advancement center called 'Amara Raja E +Ve Energy Labs.'

Bauer Solar GmbH from Selzen, Germany exists its bifacial double glass modules "Premium Protect BS-108M10HBB-GG" with 420 to 430 watts at Intersolar.

The investment arm of Netherlands-based Ingka Group, the biggest franchisee of Swedish furnishings store IKEA, will offtake solar modules from Swiss producer Meyer Burger Technology AG for a duration of 4 years under a bargain signed in March.

High-end home appliance manufacturer Dyson stated Wednesday that it would open up a new manufacturing facility in Singapore to manufacture next-generation batteries, in addition to new centers in other places to enhance its research study right into AI and software development.

Indian solar module maker Navitas Green Solutions Pvt Ltd, likewise called Navitas Solar, has increased USD 5 million (EUR 4.5 m) to support its plan to expand its production capacity to 1.7 GW, it said on Friday.

US renewable resource team SPI Energy Co Ltd (NASDAQ: SPI) has committed to spending USD 65.9 million (EUR 60.2 m) in a project that will increase its solar wafer as well as module production in South Carolina, according to growing demand for US-made products.

Renewable resources added 47.1 percent to Germany's gross electricity generation in the first quarter of this year, 2 percent factors greater than in the same duration last year (45.1 percent).

Chinese solar company Trina Solar Co. Ltd. stated it had actually reached the 140 gigawatt (GW) mark in cumulative solar module production by the end of March. According to the report, the firm, which was founded in 1997, produced around 30 percent of this amount-- 43.1 GW-- last year alone.

Meyer Burger will offer its product portfolio "Made in Germany, made in Switzerland" at the country's largest solar trade show, the Smart Energy Conference as well as Exhibition from May 3 to 5 in Sydney. BayWa r.e. will be Meyer Burger's first distributor in Australia.

Glass company Vitro has entered into an agreement to make glass for Very first Solar thin-film solar panels at Vitro's architectural glass production line in Cochranton, Pennsylvania. Vitro will certainly invest $93.6 million to restore and modernize the production line at its Meadville Plant.

Trina Solar launched Vertex S+ Series for rooftop solar at Solar Show Africa 2023. As per the company, the new modules are especially made for roof PV systems, offering a combination of durability, performance and aesthetics.
