Solar giants battle over panel sizes to push into a $200-billion market

. The heated dispute is over the rights to the ideal size for wafers, which are the key components used to make solar modules.of 75 to 90 gigawatts of solar power in 2022, and even more so in the coming years, the stakes are unquestionably high when it comes to solar panel manufacturing.A wafer is an ultra-thin square slice of semiconductor that is wired into solar cells of the same size and serve as. The larger the wafer size is, it becomes easier to make larger modules.

And, the ultimate question came down to this: Is Longi's 182-millimeter wafer better, or is Trina's 210-millimeter wafer? . Trina beat that in 2020 with solar modules based on 210-millimeter wafers to that which Longi responded with its 182-millimeter version. Two sides have sprung up in the industry because of the rivalry. Longi is spearheading an alliance that includedsJA Solar Technology Co. and Jinko Solar Co., while Trina has joined forces with Longi's biggest rival in wafer manufacturing, Zhonghuan Semiconductor Co., and dozens of other companies.
