China’s PV module technology has experienced several iterations and innovations over the past decade, solidifying its dominant position in the industry.
According to The International Energy Agency (IEA), China remains at the forefront of solar PV capacity expansion, having added nearly 100 GW in 2022, representing an impressive growth rate of almost 60% compared to 2021.

Solar Panel Latest Trend 2023
IEA has made a forecast stating that the annual increase in solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity will continue to rise in the coming years.
It is projected that by 2027, solar PV installed capacity will surpass coal and emerge as the leading global source of electricity generation.
Between 2017 and 2021, PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Contact) cells, utilizing P-type silicon, emerged as the prevailing technology, capturing over 90% of the market.
However, PERC cells have now reached their efficiency limits. In contrast, TOPcon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology, based on N-type silicon, offers greater efficiency potential.
Currently, the production costs associated with HJT (Heterojunction) technology are relatively high compared to PERC.
Nevertheless, existing PERC production lines can accommodate approximately 70% of the transition towards TOPcon technology, making it a more sustainable option.
It is anticipated that after 2024, mass-produced TOPcon cells will achieve efficiencies exceeding 28%.
In this article, we present 15 prominent Chinese solar panel manufacturing companies along with their photovoltaic component products.
