On July 9, the 2026 Manufacturing "Pilot Scale+" Ecology Conference, themed "Pilot Scale Driving the Integration of Science and Industry, Ecology Activating New Quality Productive Forces," was successfully held in Chengdu. Relevant officials from the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, along with representatives from the industry and information technology departments of Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and other regions, attended the event. The conference brought together more than 200 guests, including industry experts and enterprise representatives, for in-depth discussions on the "Pilot Scale+" innovation model, sharing high-quality practical cases, promoting mature development experience, and jointly exploring new paths for innovative development of the manufacturing pilot-scale ecology.

Conference Venue

As the supporting entity of a national-level manufacturing pilot-scale platform, Tongwei was invited to attend the conference and took the stage first in the "Learning from Best Practices" experience-sharing session to deliver the opening keynote speech. Xie Weiwei, Deputy Director of Tongwei Global Innovation R&D Center, presented a speech titled "From Technology Verification to Industrial Empowerment: Operational Practice and Exploration of the Advanced Photovoltaic Device Manufacturing Pilot-Scale Platform." Grounded in the actual development of the photovoltaic industry, he systematically shared the practical experience of the national-level photovoltaic pilot-scale platform from planning and construction to full-cycle operation, earning high praise and widespread recognition from on-site regulatory authorities, industry experts, and conference attendees.

Building on years of deep cultivation in the photovoltaic industry, Tongwei has established a full-chain closed-loop system encompassing "laboratory R&D — pilot-scale verification — scaled-up mass production." Focusing on key links such as trial production of new photovoltaic materials, equipment trial production and performance testing, mass production process optimization, and reliability assessment and validation, Tongwei continues to explore the commercial operation and sustainable development path of the platform, effectively addressing the industry pain point of disconnection between scientific research innovation and industrialized mass production in the photovoltaic sector. This has formed a virtuous cycle in which industrialization feeds back into scientific research and pilot-scale testing drives innovation.

Xie Weiwei, Deputy Director of Tongwei Global Innovation R&D Center, delivers a special report

At the current stage, Tongwei's Advanced Photovoltaic Device Pilot-Scale Platform has built a full-chain photovoltaic pilot-scale verification system, undertaking multiple national and industry-level key research tasks and accelerating the industrialization of cutting-edge photovoltaic technologies such as perovskite-silicon tandem cells. Looking ahead, Tongwei will closely align with the development requirements of new quality productive forces, leverage science and innovation resources in Southwest China, and facilitate precise supply-demand cooperation and matchmaking. The company will continue to open up pilot-scale demonstration, experimental equipment, and process scenarios to empower upstream and downstream science and innovation enterprises. By collaborating with industrial capital and deepening the "Pilot Scale + R&D + Incubation + Investment + Application Scenarios" model, Tongwei will rely on its leading industrial technologies to continuously consolidate its advantages in the photovoltaic industry and drive high-quality development of the new energy manufacturing sector through the power of pilot-scale innovation.
