DMEGC Solar says that its new cell manufacturing facility in Yibin, Sichuan province, will commence mass production of n-type TOPCon cells this month, with advanced automation, wireless data, and robotics. The module and cell manufacturer operates five production hubs across four Chinese provinces, with a cumulative shipment record exceeding 30 GW, including 14 GW of cells and 12 GW of modules distributed worldwide.
TCL Zhonghuan says it plans to generate CNY 13.8 billion ($1.92 billion) via a private share placement to build a 35 GW super-thin polysilicon wafer factory and a 25 GW n-type TOPCon cell plant in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. All solar cells produced at the factory will be supplied for Zhonghuan's PV module products.
Haitai Solar says it has canceled an investment deal in the city of Yancheng, Jiangsu province, for a 10 GW TOPCon cell factory, citing uncertainty over land-related concerns. Separately, it has signed an agreement with the city of Chuzhou, Anhui province, to construct the same 10 GW TOPCon cell factory, with the investment amount unchanged at CNY 5 billion (equivalent to $695 million).
Fujian Yongfu Power Engineering said it will work with a local partner to build a self-funded PV farm with a capacity of 95 MW in Chittagong, Bangladesh. Yongfu will contribute 87% of the total funding. The project is expected to take approximately one year to build, with a 20-year operational period.
Astronergy has secured TÜV Rheinland certification for its TOPCon modules, which feature zero busbar technology. The Chinese PV manufacturer has also produced the first n-type TOPCon PV cells at its 2 GW facility in China and has launched a 10 GW “third-phase” PV cell production line.
