Chint Energy (also known as Chint Anneng), the residential PV development arm of Chint Group, has announced that its cumulative commissioned household PV installations have exceeded 2 million units. The systems generate about 59.30 billion kWh annually, helping reduce an estimated 48.25 million tonnes of CO2.
The company stated that the projects have delivered nearly RMB 8 billion in income to rural households and supported more than 300,000 rural jobs. Also launching a virtual power plant (VPP) aggregation trading platform, the company said it is making a strategic shift from distributed generation toward smart power system regulation and value aggregation.
Another Chint Group subsidiary, Taizhou New Energy, recently announced plans to set up a residential PV fund through a limited partnership, targeting equity investments in distributed PV projects developed by Chint Energy (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
According to a new report from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), China’s solar cell output from large-scale manufacturers reached 832.7 GW in 2025, up 7.6% year-on-year (YoY). Production of ultra-clear solar glass increased 3.4% YoY to 3.16 billion m².
Clean energy generation, including hydro, nuclear, wind, and solar, rose 14.4% to 4,248.1 billion kWh. Solar generation increased 39.8% to 1,173.24 billion kWh, while wind generation grew 13.1% to 1,127.92 billion kWh. National CO₂ emissions per unit of GDP declined 5.0% YoY.
Manufacturer of carbon-carbon thermal fields and quartz crucibles for the PV industry, Tianyi Shangjia, has announced it has preliminarily selected Beijing Unigroup Communication Technology Group and Quanxun Huiju Network Technology as industrial investors and will proceed to negotiate a formal restructuring agreement. The company initiated pre-restructuring in November 2025, citing insolvency and difficulties with debt repayment.
For 2025, the company forecast revenue of RMB 683 million, down 10.48% YoY, and a net loss attributable to shareholders widening 47.54% to RMB 2.21 billion. Total assets fell 39.09%, and equity declined 60.28% from the beginning of the period. Operations at its quartz crucible subsidiary have been temporarily suspended during the court-led restructuring process.
The Yunnan Provincial Development and Reform Commission, together with other departments, released measures to enhance green power consumption and support industrial upgrading. The policy calls for upgrades in the silicon PV industry, releasing advanced capacity, and aligning new energy-intensive projects with renewable development.
The province plans to deploy shared energy storage at key grid nodes and renewable-rich areas, requiring new projects to primarily adopt grid-forming storage technology. It also encourages SMEs to procure storage services, while promoting virtual power plants and load aggregators, and encourages rural ‘PV-Storage-Charging-Discharging’ service stations.
Earlier this year, Yunnan proposed a market-based ecological protection compensation mechanism under which hydropower and solar photovoltaic enterprises must pay ecological protection compensation funds (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
