Solar Frontier, the world’s second-largest thin-film PV manufacturer, says that by the end of the year more than 30MW of its modules will be installed in projects sponsored by the National Solar Mission (NSM) and Gujarat’s state solar programme.
Yuichi Kuroda, Solar Frontier’s vice president for international business, attributes the company’s sales in India to the fact that thin-film cells typically have lower maximum-power temperature coefficients than their c-Si rivals – meaning they lose less efficiency as the temperature rises.
