JA Solar says it will build a new manufacturing facility in Inner Mongolia, China. The plant will produce everything from polysilicon to solar panels.

China’s National Energy Administration (NEA) says the country installed 87.41 GW of new PV capacity in 2022.

Longi Solar said it will invest CNY 42.5 billion ($6.65 billion) in 100 GW of wafer capacity and 50 GW of solar cell capacity in Shaanxi province, China.

Trina Solar has filed a patent lawsuit related to several products developed by Hanwha Q Cells, and has revealed that the Chinese customs authorities have already seized some of them.

SC Solar has secured a $41.78 million supply contract from India’s Reliance, while Jinchen Machinery has announced plans to raise CNY 1 billion ($148.6 million) to expand its capacity and develop new heterojunction cell and module production lines.

JA Solar’s new manufacturing facility is expected to start commercial operations in the fourth quarter of this year.

Chinese module maker JinkoSolar has released three new TOPCon solar panel variants, ranging in power from 445 W to 635 W. The most efficient modules have a rating of 23.23%. The bifacial factor is up to 85% across the three panel types, with a temperature coefficient of -0.29% C.

Das Solar and Elion say their new factory in Inner Mongolia will have 10 GW of capacity for both cells and modules.

Module manufacturer Canadian Solar first submitted an application for an initial public offering in June 2021.

The China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNMIA) says that polysilicon prices have fallen by more than 42% since November, when the raw material reached its highest price point.
