The latest episode of the Solar Media Podcast, sponsored by Honeywell, is now available to stream as we discuss the rise of new solar technologies and the drivers behind the n-type revolution.

We review the latest products to be unveiled at this month’s SNEC exhibition in Shanghai and reflect on recent news regarding the materials supply chain as the industry plots a course for TOPCon, heterojunction and beyond. President Biden has championed the development of a domestic lithium-ion battery manufacturing supply chain for the US and we look at how efforts to achieve this are being directed.

Liam Stoker and Andy Colthorpe also take a look at how energy storage continues to proliferate in both the US and a slew of new markets, with the Ukraine, Mongolia, the Philippines and Mozambique among the territories to put themselves on the storage map in the past few weeks alone.
