On July 14, Phurbu Dondrub, Member of the Standing Committee and Head of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee, and Chairman of Sichuan Provincial Federation of Trade Unions, and his colleagues visited Tongwei for research. They were warmly welcomed by Liu Shuqi, Chairwoman and CEO of Tongwei Co., Ltd.

Delegation visits the Experience Center of Tongwei Group

Chairwoman Liu Shuqi extended a warm welcome to the visiting delegation led by Phurbu Dondrub and provided a detailed introduction to Tongwei's PV industry development. She stated that Tongwei has been deeply involved in the PV industry for many years and has established itself as a global leader in both high-purity crystalline silicon and high-efficiency solar cells. Through continuous technological innovation, Tongwei has achieved an annual production capacity of over 900,000 tons of high-purity polysilicon, with industry-leading performance metrics and cost efficiency, realizing the "Intelligent Manufacturing of China" in this field. The company has maintained its position as the global leader in cell shipments for eight consecutive years and became the first enterprise in the sector to surpass a cumulative shipment volume of 300GW. In advancing the "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" goals, Tongwei will steadfastly follow national strategies to promote PV sector growth, contributing significantly to Sichuan's green low-carbon advantage industries and China's energy structure transition.

Phurbu Dondrub noted that developing green low-carbon industries represented by PV is not only essential for accelerating the new quality productive force but also a powerful measure to fully support the national "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality" strategy. As a global leader in the PV sector, Tongwei has carried on intelligent and green development, and actively promoted the high-quality development of China's PV industry, especially the world's first "Integration of Fishery and PV" development model, which provides a "Tongwei model" for local green development and innovative development. He hopes that Tongwei will continue to maintain strategic focus, leverage its leading advantages, continuously focus on cultivating core technologies and building advantages, and accelerate the transformation of technological advantages into new quality productive forces, injecting more robust momentum for promoting the green energy transition and the high-quality development of the regional economy.

Since the beginning of this year, a series of policies and measures to support enterprises and benefit businesses have been intensively introduced from the central to the local levels, releasing an important signal of support for the development and growth of the private economy, and the warmth of the policies has boosted the confidence of enterprises. On the afternoon of the same day, the Sichuan Federation of Industry and Commerce also held a symposium for private enterprises. Liu Shuqi attended the symposium and spoke as a representative of Sichuan's private entrepreneurs.

She stated that from a macro perspective, the fundamentals of China's long-term economic growth has remained unchanged, and the country's support for the private economy continues to increase. The introduction of a series of policies and measures has created a favorable environment for the development of private enterprises. Against the backdrop of global energy transition, with the reduction in photovoltaic power generation costs, the growth potential of the PV industry remains promising.

Addressing challenges including rising globalization barriers, insufficient domestic demand, and intensifying "involution-style" competition, Liu Shuqi emphasized that technological innovation is Tongwei's "sharp tool" to navigate sector cycles. "Involution" is never the solution; only innovation can break through this period of sector downturn. Currently, Tongwei has established R&D teams across all business units led by experts receiving special State Council allowances. The company continues to increase R&D investment, exceeding RMB 11 billion cumulatively over the past three years. Having fully operationalized its Global Innovation R&D Center, Tongwei is committed to developing high-efficiency crystalline silicon cells and highly reliable modules, with research directions comprehensively covering future-critical PV technologies to provide technical assurance and traction for its industrial development over the next five years and beyond.
