On the news front, on January 5, 2025, the Pingmei Longi BC battery technical transformation project officially started.

It is reported that the Pingmei Longi BC battery technical transformation project started this time has a total investment of 1.23 billion yuan, and will upgrade the technology of the original 7 production lines, add auxiliary equipment such as power systems, and have a designed annual production capacity of 4.72GW.

After the project is completed, the conversion efficiency of solar cells can be improved, further consolidating Pingmei Longi's core leading position in the national solar cell industry, building a provincial photovoltaic new energy industry base for Xiangcheng, and accelerating the formation of a 100 billion-level industrial cluster to increase momentum and add momentum.

At the same time, the first module of AIKO Jinan Phase I 10GW high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cell module project was successfully rolled off the production line recently, marking that AIKO Jinan Base, which has industry-leading production technology, has officially started to produce high-efficiency N-type ABC modules.

According to reports, as AIKO's most advanced production base, the Jinan base has a 30GW N-type ABC battery and module production capacity, and the first phase project scale is 10GW.

At present, the module workshop of the first phase project of AIKO Jinan base has been officially put into production, and the battery workshop has been capped. It is expected that the first phase of the project will be fully put into production in the second half of 2025.

By the end of 2025, the combined production capacity of Longi's BC generation 1 and BC generation 2 products will reach about 70GW. It is reported that in terms of sales, BC generation 2 will account for one-third of Longi's sales this year. It is expected that by the end of 2026, Longi's domestic battery production capacity will be fully switched to BC batteries, and BC product sales will account for more than 70% of Longi's sales.
