TCL Zhonghuan ships over 100 GW of 210 silicon wafers: Leading solar wafer supplier TCL Zhonghuan said via WeChat that its cumulative shipments of 210 silicon wafers has exceeded 100 GW. The company had first released 210 large-size silicon wafers in 2019, and now expects to touch 180 GW silicon wafer capacity by the end of 2023. In the recent performance forecast released by the company, the profit is expected to increase of 53.7% to 60.42% yoy (see China Solar PV News Snippets)

Zhengye Technology discloses investment progress: Industrial inspection equipment producer Zhengye Technology announced the progress of its investment in the 5 GW PV modules and 8 GW heterojunction photovoltaic cell facilities. Here are the details:

• First phase of 1 GW photovoltaic module production has been installed, commissioned and officially put into production.
• The remaining 1 GW of photovoltaic modules and 1 GW of heterojunction solar cells, which are in the first phase, are expected to be delivered by the end of September this year.
• Among them, the 1 GW photovoltaic module production line is expected to begin construction within one month after the delivery of the plant, and enter the commissioning period after four months.
• The 1 GW heterojunction solar cell production line will be completed and put into operation within 9 months after the start of construction, and reach production within 3 months after the start of production.

The company had made the announcement of this investment in 2022 (see China Solar PV News Snippets)

Trina 50 GW wafer facility settled in Huai'an: Chinese solar module manufacturer Trina Solar announced that it held the signing ceremony for a 50 GW monocrystalline silicon wafer facility in Huai'an. Once the facility is put into production, the annual output value is expected to be about RMB 30 billion ($4.1 billion). In the month of April, Trina Solar announced via WeChat that its Huai'an 10 GW Vertex 210+n facility has produced the first module (see China Solar PV News Snippets)

Bangjie Shares to invest in 10 GW PV modules and R&D center: Seamless garment design company Bangjie Shares said in an announcement that it will be investing in a 10 GW high-efficiency photovoltaic modules and a R&D center. For this, the company has already signed an agreement with Management Committee of Yangzhou Economic Development Zone. The total investment will be about RMB 1 billion ($0.14 billion). The investment in the first phase will be about RMB 250 million ($34.7 million) and will concentrate on the construction of 4 GW high-efficiency photovoltaic module facility, leased factory buildings, and investment in production equipment. Later, as per the progress of the first phase, subsequent production capacity and R&D center projects will be launched.
