Rays Power Infra has set up a wholly-owned subsidiary for production of solar modules, solar cells, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) at gigawatt scale.

Continued government support, coupled with strategic investments in technology and infrastructure, will be crucial in realizing India’s renewable energy goals and cementing its position as a global leader in solar module manufacturing.

Gautam Solar team has developed a packaging pallet for solar panels that prevents panel breakage and formation of micro-cracks during transportation.

Advait Infratech’s wholly owned subsidiary, Advait Energy Holding AS, will engage in strategic collaboration and investments, services, marketing, manufacturing and exchanging technical know-how in the space of the green hydrogen ecosystem.

Cumulative shipments of 210 mm PV modules surpassed 260 GW in the first quarter of this year, according to Taiwan-based TrendForce. The analysts said that seven of the top 10 module makers now make 210 mm n-type modules, with Trina Solar, Risen Energy, Tongwei and Huasun all now mass producing panels above 700 W. “It is […]

The Saudi research institute said its new four-terminal tandem device has achieved the highest efficiency ever reported for perovskite-based 4-T and triple-junction tandem solar cells to date. The key feature of the cell is the hole transport layer of the top perovskite cell, which was engineered with self-assembled monolayers.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

At SNEC 2024 in Shanghai, pv magazine spoke with Puzant Baliozian, lead consultant of sector group photovoltaic equipment for Germany’s Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers Association (VDMA). He says tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) technology will dominate the solar market in the next 10 years and expects module manufacturers will compete to develop more creative product designs. He also believes that copper metallization will gain market share in heterojunction (HJT) module production in the next years. “In the upcoming decade, we will have less than mg/W of silver being used for both TOPCon and HJT technologies,” he stated.

The solar industry stands at a critical juncture. Oversupply, regulatory hurdles, and technological advancements are all reshaping the landscape. Manufacturers must adapt swiftly, balancing production with demand while navigating the complexities of global trade.

The Portugal-based company has developed a metal oxides removal agent product for PV installations located near foundries, steelworks and metal ore mines.
