Chinese photo voltaic module maker JinkoSolar says it has shipped greater than 100 GW of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) modules in simply 18 months.
JinkoSolar mentioned shipments of its n-type TOPCon photo voltaic modules exceeded 100 GW. Since the launch of the Tiger Neo module collection in late 2022, It mentioned it has achieved this milestone in 18 months, offered to greater than 4,000 company purchasers in 148 international locations and areas. It reported that the manufacturing effectivity of its n-type TOPCon cells elevated from 24.5% to 26.3% and is anticipated to exceed 26.5% by the top of the yr.
LONG mentioned it has opened a brand new world R&D heart for distributed merchandise in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province. The facility within the first section covers 20,000 sq. meters in 4 useful zones for experimental manufacturing traces, supplies and product reliability testing, in addition to the innovation of provide chain companions. Longi mentioned in its annual report that it has allotted CNY 7.721 billion ($1.06 billion) to R&D in 2023, with the analysis division internet hosting a staff of greater than 5,000 researchers.
Xinyi Solar mentioned it expects its web revenue within the first six months of 2024 to be 35% to 45% increased than the HKD 1,391.5 million ($178.1 million) it recorded in the identical interval final yr. It mentioned it posted increased gross sales quantity and an improved gross revenue margin, regardless of decrease common promoting costs for some photo voltaic glass merchandise. The improved margins are as a consequence of decrease uncooked supplies and power prices, in addition to improved manufacturing effectivity.
Shenzhen Guangyuan Intelligent Equipment (Auto One) signed a provide settlement with Shandong Guorun Energy Group for 0BB heterojunction (HJT) string welding tools, offering 20 GW of capability for its HJT manufacturing traces. Shenzhen-based Auto One focuses on photo voltaic cell and PV module tools manufacturing. 0BB stress-free welding know-how can save greater than 30% of silver paste prices and greater than 20% of silicon materials prices in comparison with conventional multi-busbar (MBB) infrared welding. In the second half of 2023, Auto One gained a bid to produce 5 GW of HJT-0BB stress-free string welding tools to an as but unspecified HJT firm, with all tools now operational.
China Energy Overseas Investment achieved full grid connection for Uzbekistan’s largest photo voltaic challenge, a now-operational 1 GW set up. The joint development group and regional subsidiaries are constructing the challenge, which consists of 500 MW in Buxoro and 500 MW in Qashqadaryo. When totally operational, the set up will create round 1,600 native jobs and supply 2.4 TWh of unpolluted electrical energy per yr.
