"Zero Carbon China"
Innovative technology

Technology R&D is one of the four core competencies of Tongwei. Tongwei has now carried out R&D projects on TOPCon, HJT, IBC, perovskite, and other technologies, all equipped with excellent test lines, laboratories, and other R&D facilities. In terms of Tongwei TNC, based on the self-developed "TNC" technology, Tongwei has achieved pilot line cell efficiency of 25.8% (the highest industrialized efficiency of M10 silicon wafers) and the mass production cell efficiency of 25.5%. In terms of Tongwei THC, Tongwei broke the world record of mass production cell efficiency with an astonishing figure of 26.18% in March 2023. In 2023, Tongwei has beaten the world record for the power of heterojunction modules three times, marking its entry into the era of 730W.

Tongwei High-efficiency Modules
Design Advantages
