[Solar: Tandem PV brings critical coating technology in-house]

On August 19, the winning bid result for Guangdong Energy Group’s 2026 second batch centralized tender procurement project for PV modules was announced. The winning enterprises were Hongyuan Green Energy Co., Ltd. and Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd. The unit price range was 0.654 yuan/W–0.73 yuan/W. This tender project was Guangdong Energy Group’s 2026 second batch centralized tender procurement for PV modules, covering two PV projects invested in and constructed by Guangdong Energy Group’s subordinate units and their subsidiaries. This module tender was divided into two sections, of which: Section 1 was tentatively 139 MWp, and Section 2 was tentatively 31 MWp. The final procurement quantity was subject to the actual needs of the projects.

Today, module market prices were basically stable. At the end of the week, enterprise guidance prices saw few changes. Currently, upstream and downstream enterprises were still negotiating over module prices, and price game sentiment increased. However, the rise in module prices indeed led to an increase in inventory for module enterprises, and subsequent expectations for production cuts intensified.

On August 18, 2026, the production line for crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem thin-film cells at Zhongshan Guangji Lvneng New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Guangji Lvneng") officially commenced production, marking a significant step for the enterprise in the industrialisation of next-generation high-efficiency PV technology. The production line focuses on the large-scale manufacturing of crystalline silicon-perovskite tandem thin-film cells, advancing the transition of advanced tandem cell technology from laboratory R&D to mass production.
