Solar wafer prices plummet in China, causing manufacturers to struggle and leading to production cuts and potential bankruptcies in the industry.

US solar manufacturer CubicPV abandons plans for 10GW solar wafer facility due to collapsing prices and high costs. Focus shifts to module development and partnership with Waaree Energies. Meyer Burger and REC Silicon also face challenges in Europe and US.

3 Chinese firms raise targets on greater orders: SMM report Polysilicon and also wafer costs are falling as a result of new capacity

Longi, TCL Zhonghuan reduced wafer prices greater than 20% last week Decrease in expenses to make 2023 a large year for solar demand: TCL

U.S.-based CubicPV Technologies Inc. intends to construct a monocrystalline silicon wafer production center with ten gigawatts of annual capacity.

Research company Technavio predicts a solid growth for the global solar wafers market. The firm anticipates the solar photovoltaic wafer market to grow by 73.71 gigawatts from 2021 to 2026.

Reliance Industries has actually authorized a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Gujarat for a total investment of INR5.955 lakh crore (US$ 80 billion) over 10-15 years to establish 100GW of renewables and also set up green technology production centers in the state.

JinkoSolar Holding Co Ltd (NYSE: JKS) is spending USD 500 million (EUR 427m) in the building of a monocrystalline ingot and wafer manufacturing facility with a yearly ability of 7 GW in Vietnam, the Chinese solar module manufacturer announced on Monday.

3 of the solar industry's leading producers have launched a standardisation drive targeted at producing a requirement for module sizing and mounting opening spacing.

Trina Solar, the module manufacturer leading the shift to the biggest solar wafer size (210-mm/8-in.), has actually launched a checklist of inverter and radar companies with items suitable with the large-form modules.

Solar PV modules based upon 210mm cells generate the best levelised expense of power (LCOE) as well as supply better balance of system (BOS) expenses, according to an examination carried out by independent advisory DNV GL.

A consortium of solar module, cell and also wafer manufacturers have suggested to standardise 210mm item dimensions in a quote to accomplish the "ideal feasible scale" for the solar industry.

Trina Solar has authorized major wafer as well as solar-grade glass supply deals as it remains to ramp manufacturing of its brand-new Vertex collection of panels.

Trina Solar is taking aim at property as well as small C&I solar markets worldwide by launching its brand-new ultra-high efficiency 405W Vertex S collection module around the world, with production capacity of the product readied to get to 10GW by the end of 2022.

There can be no doubt the pace of technological development in solar PV, but current innovations have actually caught even the most optimistic of industry stakeholders by surprise. Recently, solar modules with outputs of up to 450W hit the racks and left project designers drooling at the possibility of pressing more power right into each hectare of a prospective utility-scale project. As well as yet, the industry has actually barely had time to blink and modules with peak outcomes over of 550W are right here, with outcomes climbing greater also still.
