“This is an important achievement, since PERC silicon cells on p-type silicon are the ‘workhorse' of photovoltaics, with a market share of about 50% of all solar cells produced worldwide ...

Speaking at this year’s Smart Energy Summit, Green said that in 2021, around 95% of global silicon solar cell production will use p-monocrystalline PERC. PERC already uses the cheaper p-type ...

To acquire expertise in the then-dominant form of solar cells, Drinda bought a 51% stake in Jietai Technology, which specialized in P-type PERC cells, for 1.43 billion yuan ($200 million).
