In the first week of 2024, a number of Chinese PV companies published their first quotes of the year for PV products. On 3 and 4 January, the Silicon Industry Branch (SIB) of China Nonferrous Metals ...

Silicon carbide (SiC) has emerged as a material of choice for high-temperature and high-power applications owing to its wide bandgap, high thermal conductivity and robust electrical properties. In ...

Scientists from Fraunhofer ISE have sought to utilize epitaxially grown p-type silicon wafers TOPCon rear emitter (TOPCore) solar cells with the aim of reducing production costs and carbon footprint.

A group of Korean researchers have recently succeeded in developing new p-type semiconductor materials and thin-film transistors that will lead the innovation of the semiconductor industry. These new ...

Heterojunction solar cells could provide the next big efficiency leap in solar output, but their need for low processing temperatures means they require very high quality, expensive n-type silicon ...

The price of n-type silicon rod has fallen to 58-60 RMB/kg (US$8.01-8.29/kg). Image: PV Tech If the previous two years were characterised by the phrase, ‘he who has silicon rules the world,’ then the ...
