PERC cells: From shortage to surplus
After the “June rush” to complete solar projects in China – as well as the commissioning rush in Vietnam, which saw higher-than-expected demand of 4 GW in the first half – the growth of the regional solar market started to slow down in July and August, before anticipated Chinese demand picks up the slack again. With unexpectedly low demand in the third quarter, module manufacturers reacted first by marginally reducing utilization rates. Cell producers then cut production after cell prices collapsed.

Enhancing performance in two-terminal tandem solar cells
Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a significant stepping-stone in our shift towards a sustainable energy economic climate. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) roadmap suggests that by 2050, power generation from PV ought to reach 43 percent of the overall installed power capacity. This can be turned into reality by reducing the cost of PV systems as well as raising the efficiency of solar cells, which would allow massive setups of compacts PV.
