In February 2022, Shanghai Tianchen signed an agreement with Chinese module manufacturer Huasun. At the time, the two companies said they were looking to establish a joint venture to develop heterojunction solar modules, with Tianchen getting an 80% stake in the new company and Huasun owning the rest.
In February this year, Huasun started manufacturing panels in Anhui at its HJT solar cell factory in Xuancheng. The new factory has an annual capacity of 2.4 GW and produces exclusively bifacial 182 mm HJT cells based on cell technology with a power conversion efficiency of 25.26%.
