The tests conducted on DMEGC Solar n-type modules include thermal cycling, damp heat, mechanical load, ultraviolet composite, potential induced degradation (PID).

Trina Solar has announced that it will supply 88MW of n-type i-TOPCon modules to a 200MW solar plus storage plant in China.

LONGi has chosen to develop back-contact (BC) cells, again based on n-type technology, announcing plans to invest RMB3.92 billion (US$536 million) on production. Future cells will be based on the company’s HPBC ‘PRO’ high-efficiency technology, with roll-out expected to gradually commence from November 2024, reaching full capacity a year later.

The net income of JinkoSolar subsidiary Jiangxi Jinko has reached RMB6.54 billion (US$894.1 million) in the first nine months of 2023.

Many companies and research teams demonstrated impressive results in major releases this year, effectively consolidating the competitiveness of HJT technology and promoting the development of solar energy.

Silicon Module Super League member Trina Solar has started supplying 488MW of its n-type industrial tunnel oxide passivated contacts (i-TOPcon) modules to a power station in Qinghai province, China.

Chinese solar manufacturer LONGi has announced that it had shipped over 1GW of solar modules to the Middle East distribution solar market by the second quarter of 2023.

Global investment in solar in the first half of 2023 increased by 43% year-on-year (YoY) to reach US$239 billion, but renewable energy investment was still far below the required amount to reach the net zero goal by 2050.

China has announced a plan to establish a recycling system for retired solar PV panels by 2025.

China's installed capacity of solar power has reached over 470GW in the first half of 2023, according to statistics from the country's national energy administration.
