Suntech continues Run as 3.5 GW Changzhou Expansion Enters Production

Suntech has placed into production a new 3.5GW high-efficiency solar module manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China, continuing its recent run of expansions.

The solar manufacturer confirmed that its new RMB700 million (US$101 million), 3.5GW line was placed into production earlier this week, featuring compatibility with multi-busbar solar cells of formats from 166mm to 182mm.

The solar facility also has space for the possible additional 210mm large format solar cell compatibility in the future.  

Suntech said the new facility features new technologies allowing for containers and platform trailers to complete shipments 24 hours a day, while solar panel production lines are to be upgraded with intelligent inspection and IV automatic testing technologies in the coming years.

Earlier this month Suntech confirmed that its 1.5GW, first-phase expansion of manufacturing facilities in Wuxi had completed, with the firm targeting an extra 10GW of solar power capacity to come onstream this year.

New facilities in Zhenjiang, Yangzhou and other locations are expected to complete before the year’s end.
