2019 Industry Review: Top Ten News Stories from Photovoltaic Companies
In 2019, Sungrow’s cumulative shipments surpassed 100 GW, and LONGi’s market capitalization exceeded RMB 100 billion. That same year, Huawei withdrew its inverters from the U.S. market, while ABB completely exited the inverter business. Meanwhile, JA Solar was set to return to the A-share market, Oriental Rise unveiled its half-cell heterojunction technology, and Zhonghuan introduced large‑size silicon wafers. Clearly, 2019 was far from a quiet year for the photovoltaic industry. Looking back at the major developments of the year, which companies generated the most buzz?

142 GW? – An in-depth look at the booming 2020 photovoltaic market!
[Editor’s Note] The declining installation costs of photovoltaics can no longer dampen market enthusiasm, nor can they curb the optimism of the PV industry as it looks ahead to 2020. Earlier this year, TestPV’s reports “☞☞2020 Global PV Market Forecast” and “☞☞A First Look at the 2020 Overseas PV Market” each garnered nearly ten thousand views. Today, TestPV will present readers with a more comprehensive analysis and forecast of the global PV market for 2020.
The first milestone in the overhaul of Production Line 210! A major breakthrough has been achieved in the retrofit of the Xin monocrystalline wafering machine.
According to the latest encouraging reports, in the early hours of today, GCL‑Poly achieved a breakthrough in the yield of 210‑mm monocrystalline silicon wafers cut on its refurbished slicing machine: after retrofitting the existing equipment, it has successfully sliced 51 batches of 210‑mm monocrystalline wafers without a single wire break.
Analysis of the Competitive Landscape of PERC and HIT in 2020 and Its Impact on the Photovoltaic Industry
Quality requirements are rising, further concentrating silicon‑material production capacity. In 2019, monocrystalline PERC cells became the clear mainstream, while polycrystalline cells rapidly faded, leaving low‑quality silicon‑material producers unable to sustain operations and forcing them to exit the market. As a result, the silicon‑material market has consolidated around five major players—Tongwei, Daqo, Xinte, GCL, and Oriental Hope. The core competitive edge of these five leaders lies in their high share of monocrystalline-grade silicon and their superior cost‑control capabilities. With the industrialization of HIT technology, companies with a larger proportion of N‑type silicon will enjoy a distinct advantage.
