Zhonghuan (002129) Company Research: Layout IBC Efficient Technology Rapid Manufacturing Transformation
Event: On November 11, 2019, Central Shares announced that the company plans to cooperate with Total. Total expands its global solar business outside Sunpower, which is controlled by the United States and Canada, to MAXEON established in Singapore.
8480% of the shares became the second shareholder of the new company.
Sunpower: Beyond shingles, IBC technology cannot be ignored.
Sunpower is a solar technology provider in the United States, focusing on the development and application of photovoltaic technology.
The shingle technology developed by the company is one of the most distinctive advanced new technologies on the market.
Beyond that, the company has been involved in IBC (Cross Back Contact) battery technology for many years.
In 2016, the company’s IBC battery conversion efficiency exceeded 25%. In the first half of 2019, the company launched a new generation of IBC battery products, MAXEON Gen5, for the company’s A series module sales, and the mass production module conversion efficiency reached 21.

twenty two.
3%, which is much higher than the conversion efficiency of mainstream components in the current market.
The company’s A series of products mainly compete in markets such as household photovoltaics or decentralized photovoltaics, which have high unit cost and resist high conversion efficiency demand.
After the split, MAXEON and Sunpower complement each other. MAXEON focuses on the manufacture and sales of high-end photovoltaic cell modules.
According to the company announcement, the main body of this split MAXEON mainly includes Singapore headquarters and R & D centers, battery factories in Malaysia and the Philippines, factories of Chinese battery and module joint ventures (20% equity of Huansheng PV (Jiangsu) Co., Ltd.), Mexico and FranceModule factories, sales centers in Switzerland and sales companies in more than ten countries.
MAXEON will continue to use the “Sunpower” brand to sell its IBC products to markets other than the United States and Canada, and sell its products to the United States and Canadian markets through a multi-year exclusive supply agreement signed with SunPower.PV sells shingled module products to the international market.
