Trina Solar breaks ground for PV Factory in China

Its first phase will be completed by the end-2023.

Trina Solar held a groundbreaking ceremony for its photovoltaic (PV) project in Xining, the provincial capital of Qinghai in China, which covers almost the entire PV manufacturing chain.

In a statement, the company said the factory, which will engage in services from polysilicon production modules based on 210mm and N-Type technology, is expected to have an annual output of 300,000 metric tonnes (mt) of industrial silicon.

It is also expected to produce annually 150,000mt of high-purity polysilicon, 35 gigawatts (GW) of monosilicon, 10GW of wafer slices, 10GW of cells, 10GW of modules, and 15GW of auxiliaries for modules. 

As the industry rapidly moves toward a new stage of N-type in line with the company’s strategic development, Trina Solar is establishing an industrial chain to further improve industrialization of next-generation N-type cell technology, guide the industry toward switching to the N-type and create greater value for customers,” it said.

The plans for the first phase of the project, which will be completed by the end-2023, include an annual output of 100,000mt of industrial silicon, 50,000mt of high-purity polysilicon, 20GW of monosilicon, 5GW of wafer slices, 5GW of cells, 5GW of modules, and 7.5GW of auxiliaries.

Meanwhile, the second phase of the project, which is expected to be completed by end of 2025, includes the yearly output of 200,000mt of industrial silicon, 100,000mt of high-purity polysilicon, 15GW of monosilicon, 5GW of wafer slices, 5GW of cells, 5GW of modules 5GW, and 7.5GW of auxiliaries.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
