A new model of intelligent manufacturing in digital workshops, establishes a complete set of digital enterprise production platforms from R&D to production to products, builds Jinko’s entire industry chain smart photovoltaic industry 4.0 system, and forms an annual production capacity of 6GW high-efficiency batteries and 6GW high-efficiency modules. After completion The estimated annual output value is 17 billion yuan.
Gaoce Co., Ltd. 10GW monocrystalline silicon wafer phase II project
On January 10, the investment in Gaoce 10GW monocrystalline silicon wafer (phase II) project in Jianhu is another important layout of Gaoce in the field of photovoltaic large silicon wafer cutting. The project covers an area of 118 mu, with 55,000 square meters of newly built workshops and supporting facilities. At present, the project has entered the concrete implementation stage, and the civil works have started.
It is estimated that after the project is fully put into production, it will be able to achieve an annual production capacity of 10GW photovoltaic large silicon wafers, an annual billing sales revenue of 4 billion yuan, and a tax revenue of over 100 million yuan.
5GW High Efficiency Heterojunction Cell and Module Project (Phase I) 2GW Project of 35 Interconnection
On January 11, Xiamen 35 Interconnection Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "35 Interconnection"), a listed company on the GEM, held a 5GW high-efficiency heterojunction cell and module intelligent manufacturing project in Danling County Economic Development Zone, Meishan City, Sichuan Province ( Phase I) Construction Commencement Ceremony. This is 35Internet's first photovoltaic new energy project.
It is understood that the high-efficiency solar photovoltaic heterojunction cell (HJT structure) 5G smart factory project has a planned total investment of 2.5 billion yuan and covers an area of 204 mu. The first phase of the project company's 2GW production line construction investment is 1 billion yuan, which is expected to be completed and officially put into operation before December 2023. The construction of the 5GW production line is expected to be completed and officially put into operation before December 2024.
According to the financial pre-evaluation results, after the project is fully completed and put into operation, the average annual sales revenue of the high-efficiency crystalline silicon HJT solar cell products produced will be about 6.19 billion yuan, and the average annual after-tax profit will be about 537 million yuan.
03 Putting into production and offline
Mingyang's 5GWHJT battery and 2GWHJT modules were put into production
On January 10, 2023, Mingyang's 5GW high-efficiency heterojunction photovoltaic cell phase I project and 2GW high-efficiency heterojunction module project went offline and went into production, becoming the first new energy technology in China to form the largest-scale production of high-efficiency heterojunction photovoltaic full capacity company.
Mingyang's 5GW heterojunction photovoltaic cell project and 2GW high-efficiency heterojunction module project are located in Yancheng, Jiangsu and Shaoguan, Guangdong, respectively. Mingyang's intelligent production equipment is produced by domestic first-class manufacturers, realizing the localization of the entire line of equipment, and completely covering the four processes of heterojunction battery production. Through large-sheet, thin-sheet, and half-sheet processes, combined with innovative i-in-p PECVD process routes, and integrated MES intelligent systems for the entire line, the conversion efficiency, yield, and production capacity of solar cells have been further improved, while production costs have been reduced.
Huamin's 10GW high-efficiency N-type monocrystalline silicon ingot and wafer project (Phase I) put into operation
On January 12, the ignition and commissioning ceremony of the "10GW annual high-efficiency N-type monocrystalline silicon ingot and wafer project (Phase I)" of Hongxin New Energy, a subsidiary of Hunan Huamin Holding Group, was successfully held in Xiangyun County, Dali Prefecture, Yunnan Province.
The total planned land area of the project is about 579 mu. After the first phase of the project is put into production, it will form an effective production capacity of 3.5GW high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon wafers. It has a production capacity of 210 large-size silicon wafers and is compatible with various sizes of silicon wafers below 210, which can meet the requirements of HJT, Topcon , IBC and other high-end solar cells.
