Once fully complete and at capacity, the project subsidiary will have an annual production capacity of 4 GW.
Guangdong Shenzhilan Dazhu to set up ingot and cell manufacturing facility: Recently, the signing ceremony of the investment agreement for monocrystalline silicon production project was held in Dazhu. Guangdong Shenzhilan Dazhu has signed an investment agreement to build a 10 GW monocrystalline silicon ingots and a 5 GW + 5 GW monocrystalline silicon TOPCon cell facility in the Dazhu Economic Development Zone. To be built in 3 phases, the facility is expected to take in an investment of RMB 10.3 billion ($1.41 billion). At completion, the plant is expected to generate RMB 12 billion ($1.64 billion) in revenues annually.
