The release of the video comes after the International Energy International (IEA) earlier this month warned of a need to diversify the world’s solar PV supply chain and expand the production of solar modules, suggesting the sector’s heavy reliance on China has led to imbalances that pose risks to its future growth.
The newly commissioned factory has the capacity to produce up to 150 MW of solar panels per annum and is more than three times the size of the company’s previous manufacturing facility.
The considerable increase in power is primarily due to increases in efficiency thanks to many innovations, which we describe later in the article. The main driver for developing larger, more powerful solar panels stems from the desire to decrease the cost of utility-scale solar farms and ultimately reduce electricity prices.
The race for the most powerful panel began in 2020 when Trina Solar revealed the first panel rated at 600W. Not long after, at the SNEC PV Power Expo in China, JinkoSolar unveiled a 610W version of the Tiger Pro panel. Around the same time, Trina Solar announced that a more powerful 660W+ panel was in development.
These huge, well-established companies were the first to manufacture high-power panels with ratings above 600W. However, throughout 2023 and early 2024, Huasun Solar, TW Solar (Tongwei), Jolywood, and the lesser-known company Akcome announced panels rated above 700W using the latest N-type TOPCon or heterojunction (HJT) cell technologies.
Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen has backed the calls for an expansion of Australia’s solar PV manufacturing capacity, saying the nation needs to maximize the benefits of its world-leading research and development.

Large-Scale Solar Siting Resources | Department of Energy
While residential solar is most commonly found on rooftops, utility-scale and other large-scale solar projects have much more flexibility for siting. As the United States works toward decarbonizing the electricity system by 2035, solar capacity will need to reach one terawatt (TW), which will require more diversity of siting configurations. There is approximately
