Zhuhai ushered in heavy progress in building a 100-billion-level new energy industrial cluster. On the 19th, Guangdong Gaojing Solar Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Gaojing Solar") held the first phase of the 50GW large-size silicon wafer project in Jinwan District, Zhuhai. The commencement ceremony of the second phase marked that this key industrial project of photovoltaic new energy with a total investment of 17 billion yuan (RMB, the same below) has officially entered a new milestone in production and operation.
Gaojing Solar focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of photovoltaic silicon wafers, and has mastered a number of core technologies in the R&D and manufacturing of large-size silicon wafers. There are two production bases of Zhuhai Jinwan 50GW large-size monocrystalline silicon wafers and Qinghai Xining 50GW monocrystalline pull rods. .

"In just 140 days, the project went from 0 to 1, scratching it, breaking the industry record." Xu Zhiqun, chairman of Gaojing Solar, said that at present, the daily production capacity of the first phase of the project has reached more than 3 million pieces, and the second phase of the plant has also begun. Start construction. The first batch of silicon wafer products put into trial production in the first phase of the project are widely welcomed by the market. The orders have been locked in 70% of the production capacity this year and next year, and the output value next year will exceed 14 billion yuan.
Xu Zhiqun said that according to the plan, the second phase of the project is expected to be put into operation at the end of 2021, and the third phase will also be put into operation in the fourth quarter of 2022, forming a cumulative 50GW advanced solar large-size silicon wafer manufacturing base. After all the production capacity is reached, the annual output value will be about 27 billion yuan, creating 6,000 jobs for Zhuhai.
It is understood that at present, Zhuhai is accelerating the cultivation of five hundred billion-level industrial clusters focusing on integrated circuits, biomedicine, new materials, new energy, and high-end printing equipment. Among them, the new energy industry cluster is showing a momentum of rapid development.
In addition to Gaojing Solar, on April 23 this year, the 26GW new high-efficiency solar cell project of Aixu, which was introduced by Zhuhai Huafa Group Co., Ltd. with a total investment of 18 billion yuan, was also successfully signed and settled in Zhuhai, successfully building a new energy industrial cluster in Zhuhai The leading position of the upstream and downstream "double leading" will continue to drive industry chain enterprises and top technologies such as silicon materials in the upstream of silicon wafers and battery components in the downstream of cells to gather in Zhuhai.
