[SMM PV News] SECI Launches 1 GW Tender for Round-the-Clock Renewable Energy

California-based Swift Solar has acquired the core manufacturing assets and heterojunction patent portfolio from Swiss firm Meyer Burger. The deal, which includes the transfer of Meyer Burger's specialized engineering team and executive leadership, aims to establish gigawatt-scale silicon-perovskite tandem cell production in the US. By stacking its proprietary perovskite technology onto Meyer Burger's high-efficiency HJT base layer, Swift Solar plans to surpass conventional silicon's 30% efficiency limit, potentially delivering up to 40% more power from the same physical footprint. This vertically integrated approach aligns directly with US policy goals for domestic supply chain security, offering a viable path to onshore cell manufacturing that has historically been concentrated in Asia.
