210 modules are officially put into production, Canadian Solar wants to impact the photovoltaic industry pattern

On December 29, Canadian solar company Canadian Solar held a module project commissioning ceremony in Suqian. This project is an important layout of Canadian Solar’s large-size modules, and it is also the key to Canadian Solar’s impact on the photovoltaic industry.

It is reported that the project will be officially put into production in September 2020, with a planned total investment of 10.2 billion yuan and an area of ​​about 450,000 square meters. It will mainly produce solar photovoltaic modules and photovoltaic cells. The first phase of the project is scheduled to be completed and put into operation in September next year, and the second phase will be completed and put into operation in August 2022. By then, the project will become Canadian Solar’s largest battery and module production base in the world, with an annual production capacity of 10GW photovoltaic modules and 10GW photovoltaic cells.

It is worth noting that the photovoltaic modules produced by this project are 210 modules, which conforms to the current trend of photovoltaic cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. At present, the 158/166 modules are still the mainstream of the market, but the leading companies have already started the layout of larger-sized modules one after another, and there are some differences.

The 182 high-efficiency modules promoted by JinkoSolar have certain advantages in the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour, and their sales have achieved excellent results. However, if they want to become the mainstream of the market, they need the cooperation of supporting manufacturers and user approval. The larger 210 modules are Will face more challenges.

Therefore, many companies strongly recommend 182 modules on the basis of maintaining existing capacity. However, some companies directly bypass the 182 module and go directly to the 210 module, and hope to win the future through forward-looking layout and capacity advantages. Canadian Solar is one of them. Therefore, Canadian Canadian Suqian project is considered to be an impact on the existing photovoltaic industry The performance of the pattern is also an important layout facing the future.
