Investment in Photovoltaic Manufacturing in Gansu

In a recent development, an investment of 14.5 billion yuan has been allocated for photovoltaic manufacturing in a region of Gansu. This includes:

• A 1 billion yuan investment in a 20-ton conductive silver paste production project, which will involve the construction of a 3,000 square meter factory and a new production line, ultimately achieving an annual capacity of 20 tons.
• A 1 billion yuan investment in a project for the recycling and reuse of “retired” photovoltaic modules, with an expected annual revenue of 50 million yuan.
• A 2.2 billion yuan investment in a project that includes 1GW of solar photovoltaic TOPCon modules, projected to generate 800 million yuan in annual output and create over 40 jobs.
• A 5 billion yuan investment in the recycling and utilization of wind and solar equipment, focusing on the detailed disassembly and recycling of retired devices.
• The Tianzhu County Songshantan 200,000 kW photovoltaic power generation project, which has a 300 million yuan investment to establish a solar power plant along with a supporting booster station.

TNC 2.0 Series Launch at Intersolar

On the first day of Intersolar, the TNC 2.0 series was prominently showcased. This series represents a full lifecycle environmental health and safety risk assessment covering materials, manufacturing, installation, recycling, and disposal. The MCS certification reflects the market’s high recognition of the quality of Tongwei modules. Mr. Li stated that the new TNC 2.0 series demonstrates leading performance and quality. The series was presented with the IEC TS 62994:2019 lifecycle environmental certification and MCS certification, with Dr. Xing Guoqiang representing Tongwei to accept the certificate.

GCL-Poly Energy’s 2024 Sustainability Report

GCL-Poly Energy has released its 2024 sustainability report, committing to 25 strategic goals. By the end of the reporting period, the Hefei, Funing, and Wuhu GCL factories had all achieved ISO 50001 energy management system certification, covering 100% of its photovoltaic module production bases. In 2024, GCL-Poly aims to utilize self-built photovoltaic systems to ensure renewable energy power self-consumption and implement energy-saving measures to achieve emission reduction targets.

Distributed Photovoltaic Growth in Guangdong

During the “14th Five-Year Plan,” Guangdong Province is set to add 3GW of distributed solar photovoltaic installations, suitable for various applications including industrial parks and public institutions. The province is promoting innovative storage products for comprehensive applications in energy sources, networks, loads, and storage.

Policy Update in Liaoning

The Liaoning Province is proposing regulations requiring that at least 50% of the electricity generated from commercial and industrial photovoltaic projects be used on-site. These regulations aim to enhance the oversight of distributed photovoltaic project management.

Recycling Initiatives in Jiangsu

In Jiangsu, a unique enterprise has emerged as the only company in China capable of achieving large-scale photovoltaic module resource recycling through a combination of physical and chemical processes. This innovative approach facilitates the recycling of tempered glass, aluminum, copper, and silicon from photovoltaic modules.

Conclusion

The photovoltaic industry is evolving rapidly, and initiatives focusing on recycling and sustainability are crucial for achieving long-term environmental goals. As the demand for clean energy rises, the importance of fully recyclable photovoltaic systems will continue to grow.
