Leading solar PV and ESS manufacturer JinkoSolar has announced that it was honored with the inaugural "Belt and Road International Cooperation Award" at the 21st Global Annual Conference of the International Finance Forum (IFF). JinkoSolar says it is the only photovoltaic (PV) company to receive this distinction. The award recognizes institutions and innovative cooperative projects globally that actively engage in initiatives aligned with China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
Additionally, JinkoSolar's project titled "Green Manufacturing in Photovoltaic Companies Promoting Business and Sustainable Development in Harmony" was awarded the "2024 Best Practice Case for Sustainable Development of Listed Companies" by the China Listed Companies Association. This award aims to highlight and guide best practices in sustainable development within listed companies, encouraging mutual learning and enhancing the sustainable value of enterprises.
JinkoSolar has been named to the 2024 Forbes China Top 30 Globalization Flagship Brands list for a second consecutive time (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
At the 20th China Solar-Grade Silicon and Photovoltaic Power Generation Conference (20th CSPV), DAS Solar released several new research findings related to n-type TOPCon platform technology and presented a pathway to achieve 28% conversion efficiency for TOPCon cells. The company’s TOPCon technology, named DBC 3.0, has already reached a cell efficiency of 26.7%. Dr. Dengyuan Song, CTO of DAS Solar, stated that through innovations such as laser-assisted sintering, front and back Poly-finger technology, new metallization methods, and tunneling barrier reconstruction, the efficiency of DBC cells could potentially be boosted to 28%. For next-generation solar cell technologies, Dr. Song predicts that the combination of TOPCon as the bottom cell for tandem cells with perovskite technology has already achieved 33.2% efficiency. Furthermore, TOPCon used as a bottom cell for single-exciton fission layer cells could lead to solar cell technologies surpassing 40% efficiency.
Recently, DAS Solar’s CTO Dr. Dengyuan Song said that TOPCon is set to lead the PV market for the next 3-5 years due to its cost-efficiency, scalability, and superior passivation technology (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
With a score of 78, Tongwei Solar has announced that it has achieved a Gold Medal in the 2024 EcoVadis sustainability certification rating. The company said it has elevated its position from a silver medal last year, placing it among the top 3% of more than 130,000 companies across various industries worldwide. Tongwei claims to be the only PV company globally to receive the EcoVadis Gold Medal for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

Solar encapsulation material manufacturer Tianyang New Materials, operating under the JCC brand name, has announced that its 2 solar PV film manufacturing facilities, with a combined annual capacity of 300 million m2 will be delayed. The company raised RMB 986.5 million ($135.92 million) through a private stock issuance in 2022, part of which was earmarked for investments in a 150 million m2 PV film factory in Kun City of Jiangsu Province, and another 150 million m2 facility in Haian City of Jiangsu Province. In its latest announcement, JCC cited worsening financial losses among solar industry companies in the first half of 2024 as the reason behind the decision to delay these projects to June 2025.
Yuexiu Capital, China’s local financial holding listed platform, has announced that its subsidiary Yuexiu New Energy plans to issue a renewable energy infrastructure asset-backed securities (REITs) project on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The maximum total issuance will be up to RMB 720 million ($99.20 million). Yuexiu Capital stated that the REITs will be backed by new energy projects, expanding financing channels and providing financial support for future investments in the renewable energy sector. Yuexiu New Energy primarily focuses on investing in and managing assets within China's residential distributed solar photovoltaic sector with projects already covering more than 20 provinces and autonomous regions across the country.
