CSIRO researchers have developed a roll-to-roll printed solar cell with a power conversion efficiency as high as 15.5%.

First Solar CEO Mark Widmar has said that the US solar manufacturing industry “remains in a precarious position, despite the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)”.

US cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film module manufacturer First Solar has increased its manufacturing capacity in 2023 by 6.8GW, most of which from its Series 7.

Thin-film solar manufacturing could add over US$10 billion in product value to the US economy by 2026, according to a study commissioned by US thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar manufacturer First Solar.

CubicPV has abandoned its plans for a 10GW solar wafer manufacturing facility in the US and is "restructuring" to focus on perovskite module development.

US cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin film solar module manufacturer First Solar has acquired a new facility in Ohio to support its distribution operations.

Located in Tamil Nadu, the manufacturing plant produces First Solar’s Series 7 thin film cadmium telluride (CdTe) modules.

CEO Jan Jacob Boom-Wichers talks about Holosolis' expansion plan, technologies and collaborations with other companies.

Thin-film manufacturer First Solar is well placed to weather any downturn in PV manufacturing going into 2024.

Everything seems to be pointing to the solar PV manufacturing sector going into a downturn in 2024, with loss-making potentially rife across much of the upstream sector.
