Solar Cell Production In Taiwan Solarworld had recently announced that it would get out of multicrystalline solar silicon cell and panel production as it was unable to compete with the much lower p-type monocrystalline solar cell production from China. The recent solar panel price bloodbath has made it extremely difficult for non-Chinese companies to operate […]

Solar Cells in Thailand and Vietnam One of the major reasons why Taiwanese solar cell companies made a sharp comeback after the prolonged solar downturn in 2012, was the anti-dumping duties imposed on Chinese made solar cells by USA government. This forced the Chinese solar panel producers to source Taiwanese made solar cells to allow […]

Taiwan Solar Cell manufacturers will capture the global solar cell market The Taiwanese solar industry is the world’s second largest after China and dominated by solar cell and wafer manufacturers. The industry has seen various ups and downs due to volatile nature of the global solar geopolitical currents. The companies were in a soup last […]

Motech – largest Solar cell Maker Taiwanese solar cell maker Motech is set to become the world’s largest solar cell maker, after acquiring United Microelectronics subsidiary (UMC) Topcell through a share swap deal. Note, Taiwanese cell industry has been witnessing a consolidation in recent times, after being hit by US sanctions on Taiwanese made solar […]

Updated on: 5/8/2016 None can deny the benefits of using solar over the traditional electricity, given the high power costs in a country like India. Despite that, the Indian citizens are accustomed to sitting in darkness because of enormous power outs. The remotest part of rural India still does not have access to electricity. Given […]

Solar Wafers are traditionally manufactured by growing polysilicon crystals in specialized furnaces. These crystals are then sawed to make thin slices of purified polysilicon which is then acted upon by various chemical processes to convert them into solar cells. There have been a number of companies in the past that have tried to find an […]
