Phase 1 of Hunan Huamin's 10 GW n-type wafer facility put into operation: New materials and digital technology company Hunan Huamin Holding Group announced via WeChat that its subsidiary Honsun's 10 GW high-efficiency n-type monocrystalline silicon ingots and wafers facility has been put into production. As the first phase of the facility gets completed, it is all set to develop the next phase – a 3.5 GW high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon wafer facility. The facility produces 210 large-size silicon wafers that is compatible with various sizes of silicon wafers below 210 mm. The wafers can meet the needs of various high-end solar cells such as HJT, Topcon, and IBC.

Zhejiang Riyue invests RMB 10 bn in Keqiao solar cell manufacturing facility: Jiangsu Photovoltaic Industry Association announced the signing ceremony of the first batch of major investment projects in Keqiao District, Shaoxing City for 2023. Among them is solar cells and modules producer Zhejiang Riyue Solar's photovoltaic cell factory. With an investment of RMB 10 billion ($1.4 billion), the facility will be built in 2 phases. The first phase will see the construction of 10 GW TOPCon cells, while the second phase will focus on 10 GW TOPCon and HJT cells. Besides this, there will also be distributed power stations, energy storage operation companies and photovoltaic research institutes. Once the facility is completed and put into operation, the annual output value is expected to be about RMB 26 billion ($3.86 billion).
