Maxeon Solar Technologies is overhauling its logistics approach after a shipping "logjam" credited to the module manufacturer missing its Q3 deliveries advice.

Hanwha Solutions Corporation has accepted buy a 16.67% risk in Norwegian polysilicon manufacturer REC Silicon in a deal worth around US$ 160 million, with the South Korean chemical company looking to resume REC Silicon's 20,000 MT polysilicon factory in the United States.

The very first production line at a 15GW solar wafer and also cell production center in Chengdu co-owned by Trina Solar as well as Tongwei has actually started to ramp.

'Solar Module Super League' maker JinkoSolar is to invest RMB450 million (US$ 70.3 million) in Tongwei Solar subsidiary Sichuan Yongxiang Energy Technology to assist fund a 100,000 MT high-purity polysilicon facility.

LONGi Solar is to come to be the most recent leading PV module manufacturer to have actually deliveries blocked from going into the US, reports have actually recommended.

Polysilicon producer Daqo New Energy posted record business profits in Q3 2021 as the firm rode a wave of polysilicon cost hikes, however warned of a tough environment for future capacity developments.

Recent solar wafer and cell cost increases from both LONGi Solar and also Tongwei, which have actually seen prices rise by in between 5.6-- 7.7%, have highlighted heightened volatility in the solar supply chain.

Five of the solar market's leading module manufacturers have actually released a joint statement caution of an approaching "crisis" regarding module supplies, urging developers to consider postponing projects and requiring higher cooperation in between upstream and also downstream gamers.

Polysilicon costs have actually risen by 8.6% to RMB230/kg (US$ 35.3/ kg) today following a power dilemma in China that has seen the government order silicon steel manufacturers to curb their procedures.

Solar supplier Tongwei boosted the rates of its cells for the second time in a month on Monday, with polysilicon rates also edging upwards today.

LONGi Solar recorded a 21% leap in net profit in the first fifty percent of the year despite what it referred to as a "moderate" adjustment to capacity utilisation rates following market demand.

Tongwei reported a near-trebling of profit in the initial half of 2021 as costs climbed throughout the solar worth chain.

LONGi has increased its wafer rates for the very first time in almost two months with the market supported for continued high prices throughout the remainder of the year.

Significant polysilicon producer Daqo New Energy has actually unveiled plans to increase its annual production ability to 270,000 metric heaps (MT) by 2024 while also plotting a course for prominence of the n-type polysilicon market.

70,000 lots of polysilicon will certainly be supplied to Jinko Solar under the bargain for a 6 year period. The action could be connected to the United States restriction on imports where sourcing of polysilicon has actually been done from suppliers in Xinjiang, China.
