Solar Manufacturing News

The US Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded USD 3.2 million (EUR 3m) to Solar MEAD, a project aimed at replacing fossil fuels with focused solar thermal (CST) energy in cement clinker production.

Solar thermal company Solarus has a technology for organizations with a high usage of hot water and also electrical power.

PV Hardware (PVH), a Grandsolar Group firm, is building a new 65,000 square meter solar tracker factory in Valencia, Spain. The facility will help the firm to take its global capacity to 25 GW, making it the world's top solar tracker producer.

QD Solar announces 24% efficiency for spin-coated perovskite cells and 23.2% efficiency for slot-die coated cells. These certified numbers have been developed for large scale manufacturing.

Fraunhofer ISE will certainly be solar technology partner of Emmvee for its upcoming solar cell manufacturing facility near Bangalore. The partnership aims to establish a 1.5 GW integrated Mono PERC/TOPCon cell production facility.

Antaisolar claims that solar tracking system called 'Making use of TAI-Simple' can ensure the stability of the project. The torque tube of the solar tracker can effectively shield with dampers on both sides, greatly enhance its wind-resistance ability, as well as is a lot more economical.

FTC Solar, a US-based solar tracker supplier, has developed a domestic joint venture with Thailand-headquartered steel fabricator Taihua New Energy to produce steel components for solar projects. The joint venture called Alpha Steel, will certainly concentrate on manufacturing steel components, including torque tubes, for utility-scale solar projects in Sealy, Texas. Alpha Steel is expected to begin industrial manufacturing in mid-2023.
