Yongxiang Silicon Materials, a polysilicon manufacturing subsidiary of Tongwei Group, has been recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise. Research and development projects are the company’s main focus. It claims to have converted over 10 intellectual properties into practical innovations, including the globally pioneering round silicon ingot-pulling technology. The company says this technology has addressed cost challenges associated with square silicon ingot manufacturing, leading to its high-tech certification.
On the financial front, Tongwei Co., Ltd. has forecast a net loss of RMB 70 billion ($9.61 billion) to RMB 75 billion ($10.30 billion) for FY2024 (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Heterojunction (HJT) manufacturer Huasun Energy shared field test data comparing HJT and BC modules at the CTC National Inspection Group Mohe Test Base. Under extreme cold conditions, with average annual temperatures of -3.5°C and relative humidity of 70.3%, HJT modules achieved a normalized power generation of 182.38 kWh/kW from October to December 2024, compared to 170.24 kWh/kW for BC modules, showing a 7.13% higher yield. Even under full snow cover, the maximum daily gain reached 79.8%. Huasun highlighted HJT's superior performance in cold regions due to its high bifaciality and excellent low-light efficiency.
Earlier this month, Huasun was awarded POWERCHINA's module supply contract for the Qinhuangdao Changli 300 MW offshore solar PV pilot project (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
Perovskite manufacturer Microquanta has announced that a 1 MW solar rooftop demonstration project at Qinghai University has been successfully grid connected. The project, consisting of Microquanta’s perovskite modules, is one the first megawatt-scale perovskite rooftop distributed PV projects in Qinghai Province. It is also said to be one of the largest perovskite power plants globally. The electricity generated by this rooftop plant will be utilized by the campus. It is equipped with a smart monitoring platform, which provides real-time visualization of the plant’s power generation, electricity transactions, and equipment performance. Over its 25-year lifecycle, the project is expected to generate a total of 20,327,745.20 kWh, with an average annual output of 813,109.81 kWh.
In December 2024, Microquanta announced the grid-connection of its Songyang agrivoltaic project in Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, said to be the world’s largest perovskite ground-mounted PV project (see China Solar PV News Snippets).
