Keynote Speeches

Pooling Global Wisdom to Discuss High-Quality Development Pathways

Jerry Stokes, Senior Advisor to the Global Solar Council, delivered a keynote speech titled "European and Global Markets: New Opportunities and Emerging Trends." He stated that solar energy is no longer just a "clean energy solution" but a key force driving substantial growth in the global economy. By 2035, solar power is expected to become the world's largest source of electricity. As the global manufacturing system continues to improve and the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) continues to decline, more countries are incorporating photovoltaics into their energy security strategies, and the market is shifting from being "policy-driven" to "value-driven."

Jerry Stokes, Senior Advisor to the Global Solar Council, delivering a keynote speech

Yuan Zhichao, Assistant Manager of the Module Marketing Technical Support Division in the PV Business Department of Tongwei Co., Ltd., systematically elaborated on the systemic cost advantages of Tongwei's G12-size TNC 2.0 & 3.0 products in conventional scenarios worldwide. He also presented Tongwei's solution for scenarios that might adopt a four-string module system design on a single tracker. This solution breaks away from the conventional mindset of maximizing the total power per string, innovatively proposing that system design should consider the global optimum. By reducing the number of modules per string, the total number of modules and the total power per tracker are increased, achieving higher system cost savings on trackers and effectively reducing the initial investment cost and the lifecycle LCOE for power plant owners.

According to statistics, global tracker shipments reached 110 GW in 2024. If Tongwei's G12-Tracker solution were adopted, it is estimated that it could save global plant owners approximately RMB 4.4 billion annually in power plant investment costs.

Focusing on the systematic construction of large-scale ground power plants, ecosystem partners shared practical experience and technical insights from different segments. Li Xiao, Senior Solutions Manager of Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd.; Wang Zhengjun, Solutions Engineer & MKT of the Utility-Scale Business Division, GoodWe Technologies Co., Ltd.; Song Wei, Senior Product Manager of the Solutions Competitiveness Management Department, Jiangsu Arctech Solar Holding Co., Ltd.; Yang Shuibu, R&D Director of Fujian Antai New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.; and Sun Bingzhen, Global Senior Solutions Manager of Renjie Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., shared technical insights centered around a collaborative ecosystem built on G12 large-format modules—covering topics from tracker systems and highly efficient inverter technology to module installation and intelligent O&M solutions for cleaning. This aims to build a comprehensive industry ecosystem chain and help overcome the "last meter" challenges in applying tracker systems for large-scale ground power plants.

Ecosystem partners sharing technical insights

Through the introductions from various segment experts, a mature and perfectly adapted ecosystem chain built around G12-size modules was gradually unveiled for the clients. With this, the Tongwei G12 System Ecosystem White Paper was officially released, declaring that the "last meter" for the application of G12 modules in centralized power plants has been successfully addressed.
