n-type

JinkoSolar has signed a supply deal with Saudi Arabian power developer ACWA Power to provide 3GW of TOPCon PV modules.

The average price of n-type material last week reached RMB41,700/ton (US$5,933), up 0.24% month-on-month, while other quotations remained stable, according to the latest figures.

Silfab Solar has launched its Utility NTC 620-640 XL series of n-type modules, which boast a power conversion efficiency of 23%.

Polysilicon prices increased slightly across the board last week, but silicon producers continue to struggle with revenues.

SEG Solar has launched commercial operations at its 2GW PV manufacturing facility in Houston, in the US state of Texas.

The company said that the new facility would produce 8GW of solar modules and 2GW of cells in the Sohar free port region of Oman.

The site will produce n-type cells to support both manufacturers’ US cell requirements, Heliene said in a public statement. Details about the timeline and scope of the project will be released “shortly”.

The modules are being shipped to SolarPro, a Bulgarian engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company which specialises in renewable and hybrid energy projects.

Chinese solar manufacturing giant JinkoSolar will build a 10GW n-type solar cell and module manufacturing facility in Saudi Arabia.

Chinese solar module manufacturer Jinko Solar has secured two contracts to supply 150MW of modules to two solar PV projects in Algeria.
