Indian PV manufacturer Waaree Energies Ltd has officially commenced construction of its integrated photovoltaic silicon ingot and wafer manufacturing plant located in the Butibori Industrial Area of Nagpur, Maharashtra. With planned capacity of 10 GW each for silicon ingots and wafers, the plant will, upon completion, become the largest integrated production site of its kind in India and mark an important step in strengthening India’s domestic upstream PV manufacturing ecosystem and advancing the “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiative. According to reports, the project covers approximately 300 acres and involves a total investment of about INR 62 billion. It is primarily focused on the production of high-purity photovoltaic silicon ingots and wafers.

China Carbon Neutral Development Group Limited announced a voluntary strategic cooperation agreement signed in March 2026 between its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xunli Technology, and Hubei Liming Lithium. This partnership aims to jointly promote lithium battery recycling and utilization. Key cooperation areas include recycling network collaboration, small power battery PACK development, supply chain finance support, new energy scenario development ("photovoltaic - energy storage - charging - swapping"), and overseas market expansion. Hubei Liming Lithium, a high-tech enterprise, anticipates processing 20,000 tons of waste batteries by 2026 with a recovery rate exceeding 95% and an annual output value over 400 million yuan.

It is learned from the State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. that on March 10, Zhejiang's maximum output of photovoltaic power exceeded 40 million kilowatts for the first time, reaching 42.52 million kilowatts, accounting for about 49% of the real-time load of the whole society. In recent years, under the leadership of the "double carbon" strategy, Zhejiang has been accelerating the construction of a new power system and a new energy system, and new energy represented by photovoltaics has developed rapidly, and has played an important role in Zhejiang's power supply guarantee and the clean energy production and consumption process in Zhejiang. According to the data of State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power, by the end of 2025, the installed capacity of wind and photovoltaic new energy i

On March 12, the Shanxi Provincial Energy Bureau announced the "List of Wind and Photovoltaic Power Generation Projects to be Abolished in the First Batch of 2026", which proposes to abolish 22 projects with a total capacity of 147.284 million kilowatts, including the Fengrun Huairun 50 MW photovoltaic energy storage integrated demonstration project.

Indonesia, as a crucial emerging market in Southeast Asia, possesses massive potential for the development of the photovoltaic (PV) industry. According to assessments by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Indonesia's potential PV power generation capacity reaches up to 207 GW. This article will provide an in-depth insight into the actual dynamics and industrial landscape of the current Indonesian PV market.

Oxford PV, a European-based solar perovskite enterprise, has granted access to its patent portfolio to First Solar, the American photovoltaic module manufacturer. This agreement permits First Solar to utilise Oxford PV's existing licensed patents and those currently under application. This non-exclusive licence enables First Solar to advance its research and development of solar photovoltaic devices incorporating perovskite semiconductors for deployment in large-scale ground-mounted, commercial and residential markets within the United States. The licence scope covers potential manufacturing and distribution of such products in the US, excluding crystalline silicon semiconductors. Further terms remain undisclosed.

Recently, Yifly Laser has secured a significant collaboration with a leading enterprise in China's photovoltaic sector, successfully concluding a bulk order for laser processing equipment targeting 2㎡+ perovskite tandem solar cells.

The European Commission's newly drafted Industrial Acceleration Act (IAA) requires publicly subsidized clean energy projects to use EU-manufactured components. Photovoltaic projects must integrate EU-made inverters and solar cells within 3 years, a transition period praised by some for balancing reshoring but criticized by others as too slow to counter Chinese competition. Besides, BESS over 1 MWh face an aggressive timeline requiring EU-made battery management systems within 1 year and EU cells within three, which industry experts warn could stall storage rollouts. Additionally, the Act enforces strict barriers on strategic investments over €100 million from nations that 'control more than 40% of global capacity,' mandating technology transfers and capping foreign equity ownership at 49%.

On 25 February 2026, Safetian announced the resumption of production at its holding company, having received notification from Anhui Meidalun that operations would formally restart in the coming days. The successful restart of production lines will steadily restore normal supply of the company's photovoltaic cell products, further enhancing production line stability and operational efficiency.

The National Energy Administration released the operating conditions of photovoltaic power generation construction for the first three quarters of 2023 in November. The data shows that the national photovoltaic new installed capacity reached 128.94 GW, an increase of 145% compared to the previous year, with centralized photovoltaic installation reaching 61.8 GW and distributed photovoltaic reaching 67.14 GW.
