The Chinese manufacturer Qn-Solar announced that it sold 4,5 GW em photovoltaic modules em 2023. The company has been looking to expand its global presence, maximizing production capacity in China and selling s abroad.
The company currently operates six manufacturing bases in China, with annual production capacity of 69 GW and 39 GW in cells and modules, respectively.
In 2023, they signed agreements with industry-leading resource and technology experts to deploy their equipment in green hydrogen and storage facilities in the Asian country.
Abroad, Qn-Solar generated more than 100 MW of orders from European developers in July alone, and in August they signed new agreements for 200 MW of module capacity with South American companies.
The manufacturer has also received certifications for its products from several national government bodies, including those in Japan, Brazil, Colombia, Italy and the United Kingdom.
“We are extremely proud of our achievements to date, and have the utmost confidence in our team’s capabilities as we continue to drive Qn-Solar’s growth,” said Stephen Cai, president of the company.
The company's sales in the first half of last year, for example, were 70% higher than sales in the first six months of 2022, and Cai is optimistic about the brand's future work.
“We are committed to responding to the global call for zero carbon emissions and actively contributing to a sustainable future”, highlighted the executive.
About Qn-Solar
The company was founded in 2014 as an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) developer, but transitioned into solar design and manufacturing in 2021.
According to the company, they have started manufacturing work with TOPCon cells, telling PV Tech in July last year that these modules were the most financially viable to produce at scale and that they expect the cells to reach an energy conversion efficiency of 28% by 2027.
However, they also highlighted that they are interested in developing HJT (Heterojunction) cells as they believe it is more financially viable. “Personally, I believe TOPCon technology will be the main trend in the coming years,” Cai told PV Tech in July.
According to him, Qn-Solar plans to produce TOPCon cells for the most part in the next three years and is already developing HJT cells on a small scale.
“We still have some capacity with PERC P-Type technology. We will move from this year's 60% P-Type and 40% N-Type model to the 80-90% N-Type model and expand it across the world.”
