Global solar manufacturing leader LONGi and zero-carbon community solution provider Deeprock Group have jointly launched the Open-Source Green Ecology Alliance. The alliance aims to bring together leading forces in the global zero-carbon sector to promote deep decarbonization through model projects, scenario-based innovation, and knowledge sharing. Executives from both companies outlined their vision: LONGi will contribute its expertise in photovoltaics, BIPV, and green hydrogen, while Deeprock will leverage its international integration capabilities to co-develop green solutions for diverse applications. The partnership will utilize Deeprock’s “1+3+N” global action plan to scale China's zero-carbon community experience to over 160 countries and regions. As an open platform, the alliance will continuously welcome global partners to accelerate the realization of green energy value.
Recently, LONGi signed a cooperation agreement with 2 China Three Gorges Energy subsidiaries to jointly establish the National Key Laboratory for Perovskite Technology (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Leading solar and energy storage manufacturer Canadian Solar plans to expand its solar module production capacity at its facility in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. According to the environmental impact assessment submitted to the local ecological and environmental bureau, the plant currently has a 6 GW annual module capacity across 16 production lines. To meet growing market demand, Canadian Solar plans to purchase, retrofit, and upgrade equipment, including solar cell stringers, layout machines, and busbar soldering machines. This equipment will be used to enhance existing lines within the current plant. Upon completion, the expansion will add 5.2 GW of new module capacity, bringing the facility’s total capacity to 11.2 GW.
Last month, Canadian Solar reported a 10% dip in its FY2024 annual revenues of RMB 46.16 billion ($6.32 billion) (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Huawei Digital Power, a subsidiary of Huawei, has officially launched the ‘Clean Energy Mega-Base Joint Innovation Center’ in Chengdu, in collaboration with industry partners. The center focuses on cutting-edge technologies such as PV-wind-storage-grid integration, multi-energy complementary dispatch, and digitalization of power plants. It aims to jointly incubate innovative solutions for next-generation power systems and drive high-quality development of large-scale clean energy bases. Backed by Huawei’s expertise, laboratories, and computing power, and combined with customer scenarios, data, and partner technologies, the center operates on a 5-phase innovation model: project initiation, system design, integrated development, system testing, and demonstration validation. Future initiatives will cover areas such as multi-energy complementarity, PV-storage integration, and microgrids.
Solar module manufacturer and renewable project developer Qingdian Group has signed an agreement with local authorities to invest in a new solar module manufacturing facility in Habahe County, Altay, Xinjiang. The project will include a 3 GW solar module production base and a 500 MW wind power project, with a total investment of approximately RMB 2.5 billion ($342.47 million). The initiative will be developed in 2 phases, with the first phase targeting large-scale production of solar modules.
Solar cell and module manufacturer BAJ Solar has revised its 2024 earnings forecast, projecting a significantly larger net loss. In January 2025, the company estimated a full-year net loss attributable to shareholders of RMB 300 million ($41.10 million) to RMB 450 million ($61.64 million), compared to a loss of RMB 88.43 million ($12.11 million) in 2023. However, BAJ Solar now projects its loss to widen further to RMB 500 million ($68.50 million) to RMB 750 million ($102.74 million). The company attributed the increase to factors including the suspension of production at its solar manufacturing facilities and share buyback activities.
