Tongwei Group is a large transnational conglomerate engaged in two main industries, i.e., green agriculture and green energy. At present, it owns more than 400 branches or subsidiaries operating both at home and abroad, with nearly 60,000 employees. Tongwei Group is a National Key Leading Enterprise for Agriculture Industrialization and the first Fortune 500 company in the global PV sector.
Currently, guided by its vision of “for a better life” and its purpose of “pursuing excellence and contributing to society”, Tongwei Group has been unswervingly developing green agriculture and green energy. Its listed company, Tongwei Co., Ltd. (stock code: 600438), has a market value of up to over RMB 300 billion. As for the main business of new energy, Tongwei has become a vertically integrated PV enterprise with the production of high-purity crystalline silicon in the upstream, the production of high-efficiency solar cell panels and modules in the midstream, and the construction and operation of PV power stations in the downstream, forming a complete photovoltaic new energy industry chain with independent intellectual property rights.
In the upstream of the new energy industry chain, Yongxiang Co., Ltd. under the brand of Tongwei has four major production bases in Leshan (Sichuan), Baotou (Inner Mongolia), Baoshan (Yunnan), and Guanyuang (Sichuan), and has created one of the world-leading production lines characterized by large cell size, low comprehensive energy consumption, and advanced technology integration, with a world-leading annual production capacity of high-purity crystalline silicon of over 850,000 tons. The company's product quality, comprehensive technical indicators, and production costs are leading the sector. More than 99% of its products meet the stringent requirements for single crystal production, with some even achieving the high standards of electronic-grade semiconductor silicon materials. Currently, its electronic-grade polycrystalline silicon has been exported overseas, marking a milestone in China's intelligent manufacturing sector for high-purity crystalline silicon production.
In the midstream of the new energy industry chain, TW Solar has deeply engaged in the R&D, manufacturing, and promotion of core products in solar power generation. The company has become the largest crystalline silicon solar cell manufacturer with the most advanced process technology and production equipment, the highest degree of automation, and intelligence in the global PV sector. At present,Tongwei Solar has four battery production bases in Shuangliu, Meishan, Jintang, and Pengshan, as well as the Tonghe project, with an annual production capacity of 140GW. Since 2017, Tongwei Solar has consecutively been the solar cell enterprise with the largest production capacity, shipments, and strongest profitability globally for seven years.According to the company's production capacity planning, Tongwei Solar will achieve a production capacity of 130-150GW from 2024 to 2026.Meanwhile, After more than a decade of substantial investment in technology research and development, as well as in-depth cultivation, Tongwei has formed a PV component product matrix with distinctive characteristics, which covers market differentiated demand comprehensively. As for now, the production capacity has reached 85GW, with 2023 shipments placing us among the top five globally. Tongwei products are exported to over 40 countries and regions, which are exported to more than 40 countries and regions and widely used in household rooftop power stations, commercial and industrial distributed power stations, large-scale ground power stations.
In the downstream of the new energy industry chain, Tongwei has organically integrates Tongwei PV power generation with modern fisheries, pioneering the globally unique "Fishery-Solar Integration" development model. and is the first in the world to create an innovative model--"Integration of Fishery and PV". So far, Tongwei has developed and built 55 bases with the model of "Integration of Fishery and PV" in many provinces and cities across the country, with a cumulative installed and grid-connected capacity reaching 4.60GW. This high-quality and clean photovoltaic power is continuously benefiting thousands of households. As the only leading enterprise engaged in both agriculture and PV new energy industry in China and even in the world, Tongwei has genuinely achieved efficient synergy between agriculture and PV and has finally become a world-leading supplier of green agricultural products and green energy.
In the past 42 years, Tongwei has maintained a steady and rapid development, thereby winning wide recognition from all walks of life.
