Gautam Solar to expand PV module capacity to 2 GW
Gautam Solar will invest INR 150 crore to double its PV module production capacity to 2 GW per year.
P-type solar products may be phased out by 2026 as n-type tech ‘rapidly’ expands
The rise of cost-effective TOPCon cell technology last year led to a ‘surge’ in production demand for solar n-type cell technology, with leading industry analysts TrendForce prophesying PERC cell capacities ‘may’ be phased out in two to three years. The company’s experts, however, warn that oversupply for p-type cells and modules may increase the price gap between n-type and p-type products in the upcoming months.

Adani New Industries Q1 revenue up 209% YoY
Adani New Industries Ltd recorded a revenue of INR 1,898 crore ($229 million) in the first quarter of FY 2023-24, 209% up year-on-year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 7.5 times to INR 355 crore as export volumes surged 19 times.
TOPCon PV modules outperform PERC by more than 5% in energy yield tests
A study by TÜV Nord in Malaysia shows that the latest generation of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) modules surpass their older rivals on energy yield. The researchers compared n-type TOPCon modules with older p-type PERC modules, both manufactured by JinkoSolar over a three-month period earlier this year. The newer product showed an energy yield 5.69% higher than its PERC counterpart.
