Manufacturing of extremely reliable solar cells as well as modules will begin at 2 websites in Germany from the initial fifty percent of 2021. The Swiss tech group prepares to eventually expand annual production to 5 GW.

With a CHF 165 million funding increase, the Swiss business intends to finance the growth of capabilities for very reliable solar cells as well as solar modules in Germany. Manufacturing is arranged to start following year. The critical partnership with REC Group has been discontinued.

President Gunter Erfurt informed a German radio terminal a solar manufacturing facility in North Rhine-Westphalia might provide high-efficiency panels for a 10 GW floating solar project on the huge Hambach open-cast coal mine.

In launching full-year 2019 monetary outcomes, leading PV tools distributor Meyer Burger has claimed it is reviewing the expediency of coming to be a quantity manufacturer of heterojunction (HJ) solar cells as well as components in Europe, significantly in Germany.

The cell is being made by Switzerland-headquartered Ecosolifer with a production line offered by heterojunction expert Meyer Burger at a 100 MW manufacturing facility situated in Hungary. The asserted effectiveness is yet to be validated by an independent celebration.

The effectiveness of the solar cell, which is made with a basic M2 wafer, was raised by around 0.7% through an improved busbarless screen printing metallization process based on heterojunction (HJT) processes developed with production devices supplied by Swiss professional Meyer Hamburger.

PV equipment supplier Meyer Burger will shutter its Hennecke-branded manufacturing facility in Zülpich, Germany, affecting some 60 employees.

The Swiss solar equipment supplier today fought off an attempt by its largest single shareholder to have a representative appointed to its board and to have its executive pay regime reviewed. Victory in that battle may secure the company some wiggle room, but the war over corporate strategy appears far from over.

The Swiss solar equipment maker has already sold its corporate headquarters this week as it aims to generate a fighting fund until the hoped-for returns of a European PV manufacturing renaissance materialize.

The Swiss equipment maker has announced a fresh, CHF18 million order from Oxford PV but the news may have been strategically timed ahead of today’s update that it has completed the sale of its headquarters building.

Leading PV manufacturing equipment supplier Meyer Burger Technology has received a further CHF 18 million (US$18.2 million) from partner, Oxford PV for the purchase of key equipment for a 125MW integrated production line to fabricate high-efficiency perovskite HJT tandem solar cells.

There is movement in the heterojunction space, but will it be enough to surpass PERC’s momentum? New production lines show promise, but they might also be the last roll of the dice for Swiss production equipment supplier Meyer Burger.

REC Group has officially started volume production of heterojunction solar cells and modules at its manufacturing complex in Singapore that will provide 600MW of annual capacity, when fully ramped.

Meyer Burger’s new chairman has acknowledged that the outlook remains tense for Europe’s largest solar equipment supplier, but he is urging shareholders to support the company’s plan to reposition itself to focus on high-yield technologies and markets beyond China.

Leading PV manufacturing equipment supplier Meyer Burger Technology is seeking a new business model with integrated PV module manufacturer, REC Group to establish revenue share from establishing multiple gigawatts of heterojunction (HJT) solar cell and module production in Singapore.
