Third Quarter 2023 Business Highlights
- Leveraging our outstanding N-type technology, extensive global operation network, and advanced integrated capacity structure, module shipments in the third quarter increased
20.4% sequentially and107.9% year-over-year. - At the end of the third quarter, we became the first module manufacturer in the world to have delivered a total of 190 GW solar modules, covering over 190 countries and regions.
- Demand for N-type products continued to grow globally. N-type module shipments accounted for more than
60% of all module shipments globally in the third quarter. N-type modules retained their competitive premium over P-type modules and the premium continued to exceed the market average. - The mass production efficiency of N-type TOPCon cells reached
25.6% and the power output of N-type modules was 25-30wp higher than that of similar P-type modules. - We continued to make progress in sustainability and, recently, scored high in the Ecovadis Ratings, leading the mainstream PV companies.
