另外组件端产线重点是在半片组件封装技术的改造，由于半片电池片组件功率封装损失更小，未来半片电池应用市场份额将大幅上升，半片技术为目前所有技术中设备、良率、实际产量都相对成熟的技术路线，能够快速有效的满足高功率产品的市场需求。72片多晶半片组件的功率可达350W;72片高效单晶半片组件的功率可达390W。

此次产线的改造，不仅扩大了高效产品的产能，也提升了企业现代化生产水平，降低了生产成本，进一步提升了生产效率和产品质量，将大大提升腾晖光伏在国际市场上的竞争力，尤其是欧美，日本及澳大利亚等重点市场。除此以外，大硅片组件的产线改造计划也已立项，改造将于2019年上半年启动，改造后的72片单晶组件功率将达400 W，切实有效的提高组件的转换效率。腾晖将通过持续投入，不断挖掘高效电池技术的强大潜能，引领高效产品的广泛应用，推动光伏度电成本的进一步降低，实现未来太阳能光伏更广泛的应用和普及。

With the acceleration of grid parity,the photovoltaic (PV) industry has a higher level of requirements for lower LCOE(Levelized Cost of Energy). Therefore, improving product conversion efficiency has become an effective method to achieve the goal of reducing costs for PV industry. Possessing greater performance and cost advantages, highly efficient modules will further expand market share by gaining popularity from the industry and market.

February 5th, 2019 is Lunar New Year's Day, which is the most important traditional festival in China. As a famous Chinese saying goes,the whole year's work depends on a good start in spring. Talesun Solar held aproduction line upgrade and transformation ceremony on the first day of lunar New Year. Chen Bohan, CEO of Talesun Solar, has attended the special event. Meanwhile, Talesun Solar Thailand has begun its cell workshops and module workshops upgrading at the same time.

As for the plan of production line transformation, it is scheduled to take place in two phases. The first phase of the plan is to increase the annual production capacity of PERC Mono cells up to 2GW, with mass production efficiency exceeding 22%, and to equip the factory with a variety of intelligent production and testing equipment. The transformation is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019. According to the annual plan, by the end of 2019, the annual capacity of PERC Mono cells will exceed 3GW.

When it comes to the module production line upgrade, a key point is the improvement of half-cut cell modules packaging technology. Due to its smaller power encapsulation loss of the half-cut cell modules, the market share of half-cutcell applications will increase significantly in the future. The maximum powerof half-cut 72-cell poly module reaches 350W and a half-cut 72-cell PERC mono module reaches 390W. Half-cut cell technology is a relatively mature technical route in terms of equipment, yield and actual output in all module production technologies at present, which can quickly and effectively meet the market demand of high-power products.

The transformation of the production line can not only expand the production capacity of high-efficiency products, reduce the production cost, but also further improve the production efficiency and product quality, which will greatly increase Talesun’s competitiveness in the international market,especially in Europe, the United States, Japan, Australia and other key markets. In addition, the production line transformation plan for new dimension modules (158.75 mm *158.75 mm) has also been approved, which will start in the first half of 2019. After the transformation, the maximum power of 72-cell mono modules is expected to reach 400W, effectively improving the conversion efficiency of modules. Talesun will continue invest in R&D to achieve the potential of high efficiency cells, to reduce LCoE, therefore realizing the wider application and popularization of solar photovoltaic in the future.
