Loading new TOPCon manufacturing capacities in two manufacturing bases simultaneously, the absolute confidence and strength of Astronergy in its TOPCon tech and TOPCon modules are evident.
The capacity leapfrog of TOPCon at Haining Manufacturing Base – Astronergy global headquarters and R&D center makes the base hitting production capacities of over 17GW PV cells and over 24GW PV modules.
Said Haiyan Huang, EVP & CSO at Astronergy, the 8GW TOPCon cell equipment and 12GW TOPCon module equipment are expected to gradually run at full load 60 days later and Haining Base is to fulfil its target of doubling production capacity and production value before 2025.
As a newly exposed and the sixth manufacturing base of Astronergy, Fengyang Manufacturing Base is in China's Anhui province, focusing on TOPCon cell production. Soon after the equipment is in place, the manufacturing base will see the rollout of the first piece TOPCon cell in late May and is expected to run at full capacity in June.
As the pioneer in n-type TOPCon PV modules, Astronergy is aiming to make the TOPCon modules one of its main products. Adding new TOPCon capacities in cells and modules is certainly a firm step forward to being the competitive supplier of PV modules worldwide.
