The Xiamen Xiang’an International Airport concourse and cargo-area PV project has successfully been connected to the grid. The project has an installed capacity of 22.80 MW and was delivered by LONGi Center, the BIPV brand jointly established by LONGi and Center International Group.
LONGi Center states that the PV modules were installed across approximately 170,000 m², making this the largest PV project to date in China’s airport terminal concourse areas. The project adopts anti-glare high-efficiency PV modules from LONGi, effectively mitigating potential glare-related risks to flight safety. The modules were specifically optimized for coastal typhoon conditions and high-salinity environments, while meeting stringent roof load and wind-resistance requirements.
In September 2025, LONGi Center signed a strategic cooperation agreement with CP Group to provide the latter with one-stop services, including BIPV construction (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Drinda, the parent company of Jietai Solar (JTPV), announced plans to invest RMB 30 million in cash to subscribe to the newly issued registered capital of Xingyi Xinneng, acquiring a 16.6667% equity stake. The move is intended to support Drinda’s strategic expansion from terrestrial PV into space-based solar applications.
Xingyi Xinneng, formerly known as Shangyi Optoelectronics, focuses on the R&D and commercialization of satellite perovskite solar cell technologies. Under the agreement, Drinda and Xingyi Xinneng have also signed an exclusive cooperation agreement and plan to establish joint ventures to manufacture CPI films and CPI-crystalline silicon hybrid products.
In November 2025, Drinda had previously entered into a strategic cooperation agreement with Shangyi Optoelectronics, laying the groundwork for the current equity investment.
On the financial side, Drinda expects its adjusted net loss to widen, according to its recently released FY2025 financial results forecast (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
The Inner Mongolia Energy Administration has recently granted preliminary approval to a 1.5 GW wind-solar hydrogen integration plant located in Otog Banner, Inner Mongolia. The project will be developed by a local subsidiary of CGN New Energy, with a total investment of RMB 7.5 billion.
The plan includes 500 MW of solar PV, 1 GW of wind power, and a supporting 225 MW / 900 MWh energy storage system. It has a designed annual hydrogen production capacity of 49,900 tonnes.
PV encapsulation film manufacturer HIUV New Materials released its FY2025 earnings guidance, forecasting an adjusted net loss of RMB 4.30 billion to RMB 5.10 billion, an improvement compared with an adjusted net loss of RMB 5.19 billion in 2024.
The company attributes the loss mainly to intense competition in the PV encapsulation film market, which has led to low gross margins, persistently weak capacity utilization that necessitated additional asset impairment provisions, and the continued R&D and market investment in new business areas, particularly automotive materials, which has placed further pressure on overall profitability.
Solar cell and module manufacturer Zhongli Group expects its FY2025 adjusted net loss to range between RMB 240 million and RMB 350 million, a significant improvement from the RMB 2.252 billion loss recorded in 2024.
Management noted that increased competition in the PV industry in 2025 limited profitability in the company’s solar business. It added that the company substantially reduced losses through operational efficiencies, cost-reduction and efficiency initiatives, divestment of low-efficiency assets, and improvements in overall asset quality.
