U.S. solar module production reaches historic 100 GW landmark The United States crossed 100 GW of cumulative solar PV module production during Q2 2026, according to a new bottom-up factory-level analysis by Terawatt PV Research going back to the early 1970’s. Almost two-fifths of all module production can be attributed to First Solar – a reflection of the company’s unique role in U.S. manufacturing dating back more than 20 years.

Seeing yield loss before it happens: Inline photoluminescence inspection from ingot to tandem As TOPCon cell efficiencies push past 25% and process windows narrow, the cheapest defect to fix is the one caught earliest. TTVISION Technologies explains how end-to-end photoluminescence (PL) inspection turns invisible electrical defects into actionable production data — protecting yield, efficiency and cost at every stage from crystal ingot to finished cell, and preparing manufacturers for the coming perovskite–silicon tandem era.
