Editor's note: recently, the China solar energy network, longji to establish cooperation with yunnan chuxiong, solar power network, the two sides will build a 20 gw fabs, solar energy, estimated investment amount of 2. 8. 6 billion dollars.
the world's largest producer of monocrystalline silicon wafer longji solar ( LonGi Solar) Has signed an agreement to chuxiong in yunnan province to build a new 20 gw fabs, the future could be extended to 40 gigawatts (gw). The project plans to invest 2. 8. 6 billion dollars. Recently, the company announced in 2020 and later silicon ingot production capacity expansion plans, wafer to new statement consistent with these plans.
the energy demand of the new factory will meet by hydroelectric power. The company is important to chuxiong wafer manufacturing center, solar panels, has built in 2016 and 2018 two 10 gw factory.
longji measures taken seems to suggest that it is ready to wafer production capacity increase to more than 100 gigawatts (gw), solar energy, because the company plans to expand production capacity of 65 gw by 2021.
