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.

The announcement from Tongwei on 10 August revealing new cell rate surges was a shock for the whole PV market. Contrasted to its previous quote on 24 July, the cost of poly cells increased by another 6 USD cents/W, with a more boost of 8 cents/W for 156.75 mm, 158.75 mm and also 166mm mono cells.

Rivas-Vaciamadrid-based firm Aurinka is intending to begin wafer production in Puertollano, Castile-La Mancha, this year. The business claims its copyrighted low-carbon manufacturing procedure supplies reduced sufficient making prices to take on Asian opponents

GlobalWafers, a Taiwanese wafer maker, will certainly include 150mm silicon carbide to its items, made from mass SiC crystals generated by GT Advanced Technologies, under a brand-new multi-year contract to "build a brand-new source of supply of silicon carbide wafers."

GCL-Poly has actually drawn its dedication to infuse US$ 68m right into a 30 GW manufacturing capability wafer fab joint endeavor developed with Tianjin Zhonghuan in the Chinese self-governing area of Inner Mongolia, pointing out a choice to concentrate on 'extra affordable items'.

1366 technollogy investing so much to ensure that they spend less time forming wafer with the use of molten silicon.

The PV manufacturer declared the development of the new solar panels, which comprise new M12 series monocrystalline wafers, in a summit on Thursday in the Chinese city of Ningbo. The 50-cell modules are in fact slightly larger than 72-cell designs with 156.75 millimeter wafers, it stated.

Canadian Solar has attained what it describes as a new milestone for PV cell conversion efficiency, taking five months to break its own record in the field.

The Hong Kong manufacturer is holding out hope a boom that is expected to start imminently will help it turnaround losses that forced it to issue a profit warning last week. Getting its new production line in Qujing up to speed will help, provided the demand materializes.

The Chinese giant has argued its 166mm M6 product should be the new iteration used worldwide, even though larger products have been launched by rivals. Longi says the fact existing cell and module production lines can be adapted for the M6 means rising demand for solar worldwide can be swiftly satisfied.

The solar manufacturer today moved to reassure investors ahead of what promises to be another rocky set of first-half figures in two days’ time. The Hong Kong company says it wants to add another 3.6 GW of mono ingot and wafer capacity by early 2021.

The solar industry must work together to agree on standardised larger wafer sizes, according to monocrystalline solar manufacturer LONGi Group.

The manufacturer has been unable to get its new mono ingot and wafer making facilities up to full speed and says the delay in confirming Beijing’s new solar policy this year also affected its bottom line.

The manufacturer says its Kwafoo product improves efficiency and, if used in the optimal p-type PERC type of panel, could boast a module output of 610 W.
