Are flexible solar cells the future of photovoltaic technology?

For the previous few decades, the photovoltaic (PV) market was dominated by silicon-based solar cells. However, it will transition to PV technology based on flexible solar cells recently because of increasing demand for devices with high flexibility, lightweight, conformability, and bendability.

Will TCL split Zhonghuan solar company into three companies?

TCL said it plans to split the Shanghai-listed solar manufacturer into three companies. It will inject more than RMB2 billion ($285.8 million) to help Zhonghuan develop its semiconductor and PV businesses. China's National Energy Administration (NEA) said on Wednesday that new residential PV installations hit 767.5 MW in June – a monthly record.

Are flexible photovoltaics (PVs) beyond Silicon possible?

Recent advancements for flexible photovoltaics (PVs) beyond silicon are discussed. Flexible PV technologies (materials to module fabrication) are reviewed. The study approaches the technology pathways to flexible PVs beyond Si. For the previous few decades, the photovoltaic (PV) market was dominated by silicon-based solar cells.

Who owns Zhonghuan Semiconductor?

TCL, one of China’s biggest electronics manufacturers, has acquired Zhonghuan Semiconductor. The National Energy Administration, meanwhile, reported record growth for the distributed-generation PV segment in June. China has deployed about 2 GW of distributed-gen PV so far this year, according to the National Energy Administration (NEA).
