Businesses, sustained by the government, will join forces to reinforce their industry and add to the European Green Deal through made-in-EU products.

The solar supply chain will certainly need to significantly adapt and change existing solar delivery practices and overhaul utility-scale solar layout versions to fit next generation panels, market stakeholders have said.

Trina Solar has actually taken full control of Spanish tracker system manufacturer Nclave, acquiring the remaining 49% stake in the company it did not currently possess.

Researchers in South Korea integrated 2 processes to engrave a nanostructure of little pyramids onto the surface of a silicon wafer. Along with trapping much more light and also enhancing the cell effectiveness, the team declares that its nanostructure improves the mechanical flexibility of the cells. This can potentially enable making use of much thinner silicon wafers than is currently feasible in manufacturing.
