US-based solar module manufacturer First Solar has successfully obtained a US patent for its solar cell production technology, paving the way for an investigation into potential patent infringements.
The company announced today that it has acquired patents for the Tunner Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) cells, which utilize crystalline-silicon (c-Si) photovoltaic (PV) technology, following its acquisition of TetraSun in 2013.
With this patent acquisition, First Solar has launched an investigation into c-Si solar manufacturers to identify any possible infringement of its patents, which are issued in the US, Mexico, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Japan, and Australia. The probe also covers pending patent applications in the EU and Japan.
First Solar is known for producing thin-film cadmium-telluride (CdTe)-based photovoltaic modules, a crucial element in advancing solar energy technology and the broader energy transition.
