The quality question
As India’s solar industry expands up and down the supply chain, maintaining quality is vital. In this pv magazine Insight session, we’ll hear from leading PV manufacturers in India about the challenges they face in scaling up to meet local and overseas demand. We’ll talk with leading quality experts about the risks that come with new technology and a rapid scaleup, and how India can ensure standards are maintained from polysilicon to energy.
Key discussion:
- Moving upstream to meet demand: India’s cell manufacturing scaleup
- Implementing new technologies: Will back contact or tandems takeover from TOPCon?
- Materials and supply chain: reducing silver consumption, glass and frames, and more
- Quality at scale: Monitoring factories and output for issues, solving them quickly
- Common issues found in the field
Speakers will be announced soon.
