Talesun Solar said on Monday that it plans to raise about RMB1.57 billion ($221.7 million) in a private share offering. The PV module manufacturer and EPC contractor said it will use RMB 1.2 billion to build four new production lines for heterojunction solar cells with a combined capacity of 1 GW. The equipment will be operational within 24 months, the Suzhou-based company said. It will also use RMB375 million to upgrade current production lines to annually produce 1 GW of TOPCon cells. The line upgrades should be completed within 18 months.
Akcome Technologies signed a strategic cooperation agreement with S.C New Energy Technology Corp. last week to deploy 2 GW of heterojunction solar cell production lines. The Shenzhen-listed solar rack manufacturer has previously purchased 220 MW of RPD equipment for its heterojunction pilot project. In the future, it will work with S.C New Energy on key processing equipment, particularly plasma-assisted chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) and a new TCO coating line.
