Heterojunction (HJT) manufacturer Leascend Technoligy has started mass production at its GW-scale HJT module facility in Meishan, Sichuan Province.
The line is producing 765 W HJT modules incorporating 0BB silver-coated copper cell technology, multi-cut cells, and high-density encapsulation, achieving bifaciality of up to 95% and batch delivery efficiency exceeding 24.63%. The company said the line supports multiple product specifications and enables full-process quality traceability from raw materials to finished products.
Last month, Shenzhen Stock Exchange approved Leascend's 2025 application to raise up to RMB 470 million through a share issuance to its controlling shareholder, Hainan Leascend Technology (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Perovskite manufacturer Huarou PV reported a power conversion efficiency of 31.73% achieved on its all-perovskite tandem solar cell, which has been certified by the National Photovoltaic Industry Measurement and Test Center (NPVM).
The cell demonstrated an open-circuit voltage of 2.224 V. This follows the company’s earlier announcement of 27.98% efficiency for a single-junction perovskite cell under standard illumination (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Major oil and energy group China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) has begun piling work for a 1 GW solar project in Ruoqiang County, Xinjiang.
The project, with total investment exceeding RMB 2.65 billion, includes a 100 MW/200 MWh LFP battery energy storage system (BESS) and is scheduled for grid connection by September 2026. Once operational, it is expected to generate 1.617 TWh of electricity annually.
Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region targets over 100 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 as part of its 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), implying an increase of about 42.68 GW during the period.
The plan includes establishing 3 renewable energy bases of 10 GW each, alongside the expansion of distributed PV. It also focuses on optimizing PV manufacturing capacity, advancing technologies such as perovskites, and developing energy storage manufacturing across the value chain.
Shanxi Province has issued a 2026 major project action plan, targeting total fixed asset investment exceeding RMB 855.5 billion, including over RMB 200 billion in the energy sector.
The province aims to add 20 GW of new renewable capacity in 2026, focusing on utility-scale wind and solar projects of 500 MW or larger. It also plans to advance 4 pumped-hydro projects and add more than 2 GW of new energy storage capacity.
