While many solar manufacturers are as yet undecided about which PV cell technology they will choose for their next high efficiency expansions, for Singapore-based REC, the future is HJT. pv magazine spoke to Cemil Seber, the managing director at REC Solar EMEA GmbH at the Intersolar Europe 2022 trade show, to dig deeper into these manufacturing plans.
The Delhi-based renewable project consultant aims to expand electrolyzer production capacity to 1 GW after its initial 250 MW is operational. It is also looking at offering turnkey solutions for green hydrogen plants and the production of high-pressure tanks and cryogenic vessels for hydrogen storage.
Hungary’s Platio Solar has developed a new PV module line featuring monocrystalline and polycrystalline cells with clear or opal glass.
“We need to bring manufacturing back to Europe and the [European] Commission is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen,” EU Energy Commissioner Kadri Simson said at the opening of SolarPower Summit 2022. Her words rocketed around the solar community, boosting share prices and invigorating the European solar industrial mission, writes SolarPower Europe CEO Walburga Hemetsberger, as she lays out the actions needed for solar-power EU energy independence.
Indian PV manufacturer Saatvik Solar will supply 9.3 MW of mono PERC modules to Bharat Heavy Electricals for a PV project in Mauritius. The panels will feature multi-busbar and half-cut cell technology.
Nexcharge will manufacture lithium energy storage products for electric vehicles and grid-based applications at its newly opened plant in Gujarat.
India’s rooftop solar installations increased by 34% year on year in the January-March period, despite a 17% increase in system costs.
Sharp’s new 375 W solar panels feature multi-wire technology, with a power conversion efficiency of 20.4%.
Fraunhofer ISE have improved the performance of a cell structure originally developed by France’s Soitec in 2014. The German scientists managed to reduce resistance losses and the reflection on the cell front side.
The panel measures 1,894 mm x 1,096 mm x 30 mm, weighs in at 22.5 kg, and has a temperature coefficient of -0.34% per C.
