p-type

TÜV Rheinland held a ‘Global PV Buyers’ Workshop’, inviting some 20 representatives from the industry’s downstream players to take part. Brookfield Renewable, BayWa, Engie, TotalEnergies and Lightsource BP and others, and companies mainly engaged in development and operations such as ACWA Power, Bouygues and ECADI shared their thinking from different perspectives on module quality and procurement strategies.

Wafer manufacturers in China are posting massive profits despite competition soaring and wafer sizes increasing across the market

Solar Media’s head of market research, Finlay Colville, explores the most critical PV cell technology trends of the next few years as the industry continues to move away from p-type technology

Trina Solar said it has achieved a new record efficiency of 24.5% for 210mm p-type monocrystalline silicon PERC cells.

Solar manufacturer LONGi has laid claim to a new cell efficiency record for a gallium-doped p-type heterojunction PV cell.

PV Tech Research’s Finlay Colville reveals which manufacturers are driving the PV industry’s transition to n-type, explaining why what these companies do in the next two years will shape the sector moving forward.

PV CellTech 2022 is to be held in Berlin, Germany, the first time the industry-leading event will be located in Europe. Finlay Colville previews the event and provides attendance details.

N-type solar modules produced up to 5.26% more power than p-type counterparts, delivering advantages to project LCOE and IRR, in new analysis conducted by TÜV Nord.

The new edition of PV Tech Power, volume 29, is now available to download, including our comprehensive cover story on solar’s critical next decade.

As the PV sector continues to focus on cell production technologies and the transition from p-type to n-type, Finlay Colville teases an upcoming opportunity to watch Professor Martin Green's keynote presentation from PV CellTech 2021 Online.
