First Solar, Inc. filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware against JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd., four of its affiliates and U.S.-based distributor American Panel Solutions, LLC (AMPS), alleging infringement of U.S. Patent No. 9,130,074, which covers manufacturing methods for tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) crystalline silicon solar cells. First Solar seeks monetary damages and permanent injunctive relief to halt the import, assembly and sale of the disputed TOPCon modules in the U.S. The filing follows First Solar's withdrawal of its Section 337 complaint at the USITC; neither JA Solar nor representatives for Corning and AMPS immediately responded.
In a pv magazine USA analysis, Ryan Kennedy presents the Solar Manufacturing USA Quarterly report's bottom-up forecast of domestic U.S. module production to the end of 2027, tracking capex and output for more than 40 companies.

It adds that the forecast's downside would apply if project offtake falls short of production targets or buyers push back on cells under MIP conditions.
