Aiming to take advantage of Italy's favorable climate and growing demand for renewable energy, Solitek is expanding its operations and creating 300 new jobs in the solar panel manufacturing industry.
European Solar Manufacturing Council (ESMC) responds to the proposals of the European Commission adopted amending the General Block Exemption Regulation (GBER), and the proposed Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework (TCTF).
The PV manufacturing chain in Europe is almost entirely dependent from China. There are first attempts for a renaissance of European PV production. But not all national governments recognize its strategic importance. Jochen Rentsch, Fraunhofer-ISE, comments in an interview.
During the visit of a delegation of representatives of renewable associations and politics at Meyer Burger in Saxony/Germany it became clear how high the potential of a European PV production is for the regional added value, for energy security and climate protection.
Jinko Solar delivered 18.21 GW solar panels globally in the first half of 2022, representing an increase of 79% year-over-year.
Meyer Burger has signed a binding supply agreement for silicon wafers with the Norwegian manufacturer Norwegian Crystals. The polysilicon used to manufacture the wafers is of European and U.S. origin.
Following on from their ‘toolbox’ on high energy prices in 2021, today the European Commission set out a highly anticipated RePower EU Communication that seeks to address the dual energy security and price challenges facing Europe right now.
Eight leading European solar developers have written to the European Commission and Council to request a European strategy for the solar PV value chain in 2022.
Driven by the strong supply dependencies that have become apparent as a result of the Corona pandemic and by political tailwinds, there are first concrete steps for a return of PV manufacturing to Europe.
Trina Solar and Tongwei join forces to further upgrade the integrated industrial chain for 210mm solar modules. They invest about 2.3 billion US dollars in new manufacturing facilities.
The rising demand for photovoltaics, technological innovations and decreasing costs as well as corona effects are making the manufacture of photovoltaic products in Europe attractive.
The planned additional annual manufacturing capacity of 10 GW of 210mm solar cells will be used for the new Trina Solar Vertex 600W+ series.
A new study shows the ecological and economic feasibility of photovoltaic production in Europe. The required expansion of photovoltaic capacity in Europe means an attractive market volume.
