Huasun signs up for 5 GW HJT cell and module facility in Hefei: Chinese solar panel manufacturer Huasun Energy said via WeChat that it has got into a deal with the Feixi County Government for a 5 GW high-efficiency heterojunction cell and module facility. Spread across 410 mu, the investment on this facility is about RMB 5 billion ($0.74 billion). The facility will be producing bifacial microcrystalline high-efficiency HJT cells and modules. Once the facility is completed and starts producing, the annual output is expected to reach RMB 7 billion ($1.03 billion). In early January 2023, Huasun said its G12-132 Himalaya HJT modules have now a certified power output of 715W (see Huasun's G12 Heterojunction Solar Module Now 715 W Strong)
Construction begins for CNBM·Shangqiu PV glass production line: China National Building Material Group (CNBM) – Shangqiu (Suiyang)'s photovoltaic rolling glass production line just began construction, local media reports said. With an investment of RMB 5.2 billion ($0.77 billion), about four 1200t/d photovoltaic rolling glass production lines will be built. Once it is completed, about 262 million square meters of photovoltaic cell packaging materials will be produced annually. This will drive an output value of RMB 45 billion ($6.6 billion) from upstream and downstream.
