Innovate along the photovoltaic industry chain and build a national high-tech cluster

The 20000 ton modular project was successfully put into operation, the 5GW application demonstration project was mass produced, and the first carbon footprint certificate was obtained from China and France… The reporter learned from poly GCL on February 21 that the company has an original process, and the total production capacity of FBR granular silicon has reached 30000 tons, realizing the “systematization, standardization, digitization, integration, intelligence and modularization” of granular silicon production, Provide strong support for energy conservation and carbon reduction of photovoltaic materials in China.

Since its establishment, GCL Poly has worked intensively along the photovoltaic industry chain, achieved major scientific research breakthroughs in GCL rod silicon process, FBR granular silicon technology and CCZ technology, injected strong momentum into the high-quality development of enterprises and emerged a national high-tech enterprise cluster under the background of national “double carbon” strategy and global energy transformation and industrial transformation and upgrading.

At present, five enterprises of the company, including Ningxia GCL, Suzhou GCL, Jiangsu Zhongneng, Xuzhou Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) and Funing GCL, have once again been listed on the list of national high-tech enterprises. Previously, GCL silicon materials, Henan GCL, Xinjiang GCL and Yangzhou GCL have passed the re recognition of national high-tech enterprises. So far, all nine enterprises under poly GCL have joined the “national team” of high-tech enterprises.

“High tech enterprises are assessed every three years, mainly from two dimensions: one is growth, including operating profit and business growth; the other is scientific research, including intellectual property rights and scientific research transformation.” Liu Tao, chief engineer and office director of poly GCL Central Research Institute, introduced that these two aspects have always been the unique advantages of poly GCL.

Taking Ningxia GCL as an example, it was incorporated in 2015 and was selected as a national high-tech enterprise for the first time in 2018. Now it has been “plum blossom twice”. Zhong Ren, deputy chief engineer, was particularly impressed. Since its inception, the company has adhered to the concept of “innovation is the first energy level, science and technology is the first energy, and talent is the first capital”. It has continuously increased R & D investment, strengthened industry university research cooperation, deepened project cooperation and new technology development with Tongji University, Xi’an Jiaotong University and other institutions, and has undertaken 18 provincial and municipal key and major R & D projects, It enhances the core competitiveness for the sustainable development of the company.

“Single crystal process is a highly competitive technical field in Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) battery industry in recent years. Adhering to the concept of ‘using generation, reserving generation and developing generation’, Ningxia GCL has always been in the forefront of the industry with new products in the changing market.” Zhongren introduction.

In October 2021, on the basis of obtaining China’s first carbon footprint certification certificate of granular silicon, GCL obtained the GCL carbon footprint certificate of granular silicon products issued by the French environmental and energy control agency, which proved that the carbon footprint value of the company for each kilogram of granular silicon produced by the company was 37.000 kg carbon dioxide equivalent, It has greatly set a new record of 57.559 kg of carbon dioxide equivalent per functional unit, the “lowest” in the world previously created by Wacker company of Germany. This certificate is the first “carbon footprint ID card” certified by foreign authorities in terms of granular silicon obtained by China so far, which indicates that China’s granular silicon has excellent carbon emission performance and has the absolute advantage of leading the global Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) industry.

Scientific and technological innovation is the core competitiveness. It has won two international and Chinese granular silicon carbon footprint certification certificates, allowing GCL poly to obtain the “ticket” of the “double carbon” track ahead of industry enterprises.

In the field of photovoltaic material manufacturing, Xuzhou Cecep Solar Energy Co.Ltd(000591) material technology company has been committed to the R & D and manufacturing of quartz crucibles since its establishment. It has made a number of technical achievements in quartz crucible forming process, large-size quartz crucible R & D, high-efficiency crucible and crucible high-purity coating technology, and obtained 9 provincial high-tech products.

GCL silicon material 5GW granular silicon application project realizes 100% granular silicon feeding, with excellent technical indexes; At present, Henan GCL is the leading R & D and production base of polysilicon spare square silicon core in China; The industry university research cooperation between Suzhou GCL and Jiangsu University has formed a strong scientific research transformation ability; Funing GCL has successively obtained honorary qualifications such as national green factory, Jiangsu technology center, Jiangsu intelligent demonstration workshop, Yancheng gazelle enterprise and so on

Zhu Gongshan, chairman of GCL group, said that in the future, we should make every effort to build “GCL in science and technology, digital GCL and green GCL”. New products and technologies account for a prominent proportion in sales, and enterprises with high investment, high innovation, high growth and high profitability.
