Having undergone five years of dedicated technological advancement and market validation, Gokin Solar reached the significant milestone of its fifth anniversary in 2025. In celebration of this milestone, Gokin hosted a global BC Ecosystem Summit, demonstrating to the world its belief and foresight in continuously exploring the boundless possibilities of photovoltaic technology.
True strength lies not in rushing ahead
At the summit, Chairman Xu Zhiqun delivered a keynote speech titled “True Strength Lies Not In Rushing Ahead,” profoundly elucidating the developmental philosophy of Gokin Solar—not competing for momentary pace, but striving to become a river that is “deep-flowing, resilient, clear-sourced, and supremely good.” This philosophy embodies a commitment to creating lasting value that transcends industry cycles and nourishes the entire ecosystem.
Over the past five years, Gokin has steadfastly adhered to this approach. In product strategy, it has upheld fundamentals while embracing innovation, decisively entering cutting-edge fields like N-type and BC technologies to strengthen its competitive edge. In technological advancement, it has deepened its roots, transforming industry-wide challenges into R&D momentum to forge a solid technological moat. In quality management, it has remained true to its founding mission, consistently prioritizing customer value and maintaining the highest standards. In ecosystem development, it has fostered co-creation and shared success, walking hand-in-hand with customers, partners, and employees to cultivate a synergistic industrial ecosystem that drives a virtuous cycle of sustainable development.
It is this guiding principle of “True strength lies not in rushing ahead” that has propelled Gokin from its humble beginnings in a “shipping container” to become an industry cornerstone, with operations spanning four regions and a global workforce exceeding 6,000.
Today, Gokin Solar has steadily advanced into the top tier of the global photovoltaic industry. Its cumulative PV wafer shipments solidly rank among the top three globally. In technological innovation, Gokin has become the world's third enterprise to achieve mass production of BC modules. It has been consecutively selected for the PVBL Global Top 20 PV Brands ranking for three years, rising to 10th place globally in 2025. This trajectory represents a significant leap from striving to catch up to walking shoulder-to-shoulder with global leaders.
Next-Generation GBC Modules Redefine Value Boundaries and Set New Standards in Precision Engineering
At this summit, Gokin Solar officially launched its next-generation GBC full-screen and high-power modules based on Back Contact (BC) technology, and established its new brand positioning in the module sector: Gokin, the Definitive Maker of Precision-Engineered Modules.
Compared to conventional modules, the new GBC series delivers the “Four Full” values—Full Screen, Full Efficiency, Full Protection, and Full Warranty—integrating high efficiency, aesthetics, reliability, and scenario adaptability.
This achievement is made possible through the synergistic support of five core technologies:
- Gokin Premier Silicon Wafers: Drawing on extensive expertise in wafer processing, Gokin's self-developed ultra-high-resistivity, lightly doped N-type wafers achieve more than a twofold increase in minority carrier lifetime, laying the foundation for superior cell conversion efficiency.
- BC Cells: Feature a grid-free front for full-area light absorption, increasing the light-receiving area by over 3%.
- 0BB Technology: Employs a high-density, refined finger grid network to minimize electrical losses.
- Precision Cell Layout: Eliminates gaps between cells, increasing the light-receiving area by 0.4%.
- Hidden Busbars: Interconnection circuits are smartly integrated on the cell backside, gaining an additional 1.4% in light-receiving area.
The next-generation GBC modules are more than a product upgrade; they fully embody Gokin’s philosophy of “Precision Engineering.” This philosophy entails precise control across the entire chain—from materials and structure to craftsmanship—delivering quality that exceeds universal standards and meets the stringent demands of residential, commercial & industrial, and large-scale solar farm applications.
This new product launch represents a decisive step for Gokin towards high-efficiency modules and formally initiates a new chapter in leading the industry's value competition with “Precision-Engineered” standards.
Building the Ecosystem Together: Open Collaboration, Converging Industry Streams
The summit's pivotal dialogue session, “Exploring BC, Shaping a Shared Future,” convened leaders from across the photovoltaic value chain. They engaged in in-depth discussions on the BC technology pathway, focusing on five core areas: Technology Roadmap Decisions, Mass Production Breakthroughs, Ecosystem Co-creation, Technological Synergy, and the Future of the Industry. Together, they outlined a new blueprint for the industry's collaborative advancement.
One of the summit's most significant outcomes was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on BC Technology Cooperation between Gokin and TÜV Rheinland Group. This partnership will deepen collaboration in joint R&D, testing & certification, and standard-setting, solidifying the BC ecosystem's collaborative foundation to deliver more reliable and efficient solutions for the entire industry.
Confronting the high-barrier and intricate BC technology path, Gokin steadfastly maintains an open and inclusive approach, dedicated to fostering an open innovation system. By collaborating closely with upstream and downstream partners, Gokin strives to accelerate technological integration and commercialization, advance the industrialization of BC, and provide systemic momentum for continuously improving PV efficiency while reducing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE).
Gokin holds a fundamental belief in the virtuous cycle of water, where all tributaries converge into the ocean. True success is achieved by empowering the success of others. Gokin deeply acknowledges that every partner who journeys with us provides the essential foundation for Gokin's resilience and the trusted relationships that sustain us in a competitive landscape.
From Net-Zero Commitment to a Sustainable Future
At the summit, Gokin officially became a Gold Member of the RE100 initiative, jointly initiated by The Climate Group and Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). The company committed to powering all its global operational sites with 100% renewable electricity by 2030, clearly outlining a steadfast path to transition from a “manufacturer of green energy” to an “exemplar of green operations.”
Beyond its technical depth and manufacturing scale, Gokin has consistently embraced sustainable development as a core corporate strategy.
To achieve its RE100 goal, Gokin has already planned and initiated a systematic roadmap to integrate green principles across its production and operations:
- Building Zero-Carbon Factories: Deploying large-scale PV system across key production sites, integrated with energy storage and smart energy management, to create self-sufficient, green manufacturing models.
- Diversifying Green Power Procurement: Securing 100% renewable power and a fully green global operational footprint through a combined strategy of direct green electricity procurement and Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) purchases.
- Deepening ESG Management: Committing to the regular publication of ESG reports for transparent progress disclosure, and integrating these commitments into long-term governance.
Gokin's vision extends beyond green manufacturing itself, aiming for a more profound mission—”Bringing greater benefits to humanity through solar energy.” The company is committed to empowering all industries with photovoltaic technology, striving to become a key driver in accelerating the global green transition.
Forward Together: Becoming the Unstoppable Current
With an open mindset and a commitment to shared success, Gokin stands alongside global customers, governments at all levels, partners, and industry peers. We are dedicated to transforming each act of trust and every collaborative effort into a sustained force that drives the global energy transition.
At this five-year milestone, Gokin's vision remains firmly fixed on the horizon. Our strategy is clear and steadfast: to deepen our expertise in N-type and BC technologies, while relentlessly pursuing peak performance and process excellence. At the same time, we remain forward-looking, continuously scanning the horizon of technological innovation to identify and invest in the next strategic frontier—one that, like N-type and BC, is challenging yet correct.
As Chairman Xu Zhiqun remarked, “True strength lies not in rushing ahead, but in enduring persistence.”
