On June 8, 2025, integrated solar manufacturer Sunrev held a commissioning ceremony for its 10 GW new high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) cell facility in Yizheng Economic Development Zone. The facility, covering 200,000 sq. m., has been built with a total investment of RMB 5 billion ($698.6 million). It will serve the purposes of R&D, production and sales of TOPCon cells totaling 10 GW annually. Once fully operational, it is expected to generate RMB 5 billion ($698.6 million) in revenues.
In December 2024, Yangzhou Xinpeng – a JV between Shuangliang Eco-Energy and Sunrev Group – commenced production at its 35 GW n-type solar wafer project (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Solar cell, module and backsheet manufacturer Jolywood has announced that the TOPCon cell developed in-house has achieved a maximum power temperature coefficient certification of -0.2557%/°C. The cell was tested and certified by the National Photovoltaic Industry Measurement and Testing Center (NPVM). The company said that its TOPCon cell’s temperature coefficient is better than the industry average and is comparable to HJT cells’ -0.24%/°C, and ‘significantly better’ than traditional TOPCon (-0.29%/°C) and PERC cells (-0.34%/°C). In real-world conditions, it translates into reduced power attenuation, especially in high-temperature environments.
In March, Jolywood, along with multiple industry enterprises and research institutions, officially implemented the group standard "Weather Resistance Testing Method for Steel Frame Materials Used in Solar PV Modules" (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
China has grid-connected Phase I of the Jiangsu Lianyungang Dongshang Fishery-Photovoltaic Complementary Project. It is touted as the largest single-unit fishery-PV project in the country, constructed by PowerChina. The project uses over 1.9 million Infinity series n-type modules produced in DMEGC Solar’s carbon-neutral Lianyungang factory (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Located in Dunshang Town, Ganyu District, Lianyungang City, the project spans 16 administrative villages, covering 464 aquaculture ponds, with a total installed capacity of 360 MW. Its 3-dimensional development model of ‘aquatic photovoltaic matrix + underwater ecological aquaculture,’ with scientifically arranged 138 standardized PV power generation units on 6.67 million sq. m. of tidal flats, is expected to serve as a benchmark for similar projects in China.
Guangzhou Power Exchange Center and Beijing Power Exchange Center have carried out China’s first cross-operating-region green electricity transactions from North China, Northeast China and Northwest China to Guangdong. As part of these transactions, wind and solar energy from Gansu, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia and North China will be supplied to Guangdong through Kunyu DC, Changnan I Line, Jiangcheng DC and other transmission channels from June 13 to June 30. This is said to be China's first multi-channel, large-scale, cross-operating-region green electricity transaction. It involved the cooperation of China Southern Power Grid, State Grid and other power grid companies, with the guidance of NDRC and NEA.
A total of 410 entities participated in this transaction, including power sales companies and wholesale users in Guangdong Province. It saw final participation from a total of 47 power sales companies, with an estimated transaction volume of 78 million kWh. Of the total, wind power accounts for 27.8% and solar power accounts for 72.2%.
