First Solar表示正调查其拥有的TOPCon太阳能电池技术专利可能被侵权的案件。
公司在一份声明中说：“First Solar通过收购TetraSun取得了美国专利及相关国际专利，已对数家晶体硅太阳能制造商可能侵犯其专利权的行为展开调查。案件包括在美国、加拿大、墨西哥、中国、马来西亚、越南、日本和澳大利亚等司法管辖区的有效期至2030年的已授权专利，还包括在欧盟和日本的待批专利申请。”
公司尚未透露潜在侵权者身份，也未给出调查时间表信息。
虽然没有提供更多技术细节，First Solar还表示，“First Solar于2013年收购了TetraSun及其知识产权组合。这家加利福尼亚州的初创公司在被收购之前，就开创了专有电池架构和大尺寸晶体硅晶圆的制造工艺。如果发现侵权行为，我们将对潜在侵权者合法制造、组装和销售侵权TOPCon技术的能力提出质疑，途径包括执法行动、许可和/或其他措施，以便维护我们的权利。”
First Solar在其马来西亚工厂采用TetraSun的技术生产光伏组件，直到2016年才停产晶体硅太阳能电池板。
