Sinovoltaics, a Hong Kong-based technical compliance and quality assurance service firm, has begun publishing supply chain reports about PV manufacturing in North American and European markets. The reports, which are free, cover current and planned manufacturing activity from 2023 to 2027 for producers of modules, cells, wafers, ingots, polysilicon, and multigrain silicon.
