[SMM PV News] AIKO ABC module achieves new breakthrough in the South African market, securing a 773.5 MW order

On October 8, the Guangzhou Municipal Ecology and Environment Bureau approved the environmental impact report form for the high-efficiency PV module renovation project of Gokin Solar (Guangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd.'s 101# module workshop. According to the document, the project is located at No. 2, Hejin Avenue, Automotive Industry Base, Huadu District, Guangzhou. It does not add new land, with a current total site area of 266,532.22 m² and a building area of 213,018.29 m². The facility is primarily engaged in PV module production. This project involves the renovation of the 101# module workshop, and after the renovation, the annual production capacity will be 27.826 million high-efficiency PV modules (12.5217 million N-type TOPCon single-glass 72P, 1.3913 million N-type BC single-glass 72P, 8.3478 million N-type TOPCon dual-glass 72P, and 5.5652 million N-type BC dual-glass 72P). The total project investment is 120 million yuan, of which 1.6 million yuan is allocated for environmental protection.

This week, a leading petrochemical producer raised the settlement price of PV-grade EVA from the previous cycle slightly to 11,300 yuan/mt. Cost side, raw material price fluctuations have narrowed recently but remain at a relatively high level, providing support for EVA costs. Meanwhile, some petrochemical units have successively entered maintenance, further tightening EVA supply. Foaming-grade EVA is also affected by tight supply, with prices continuing to rise, lending some support to the overall market. Overall, PV-grade EVA prices are expected to consolidate on a strong note in the short term.

According to the National Intellectual Property Administration, Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd. has filed a patent application titled "Method for Preparing a Solar Cell," with publication number CN122892299A and an application date of June 2026. The patent abstract shows that the present disclosure relates to the technical field of solar cells and discloses a method for preparing a solar cell. The method for preparing a solar cell includes: forming a first doped semiconductor layer on the light-receiving surface of a base layer, and forming a second doped semiconductor layer on the back surface of the base layer; at least one of the first doped semiconductor layer and the second doped semiconductor layer includes alternately arranged contact regions and non-contact regions, where the surface of the contact regions protrudes relative to the surface of the non-contact regions, and the doping concentration of the contact regions is greater than that of the non-contact regions; or, forming alternately arranged first doped semiconductor layers and second doped semiconductor layers on the back surface of the base layer, where the first doped semiconductor layers and the second doped semiconductor layers are configured as contact regions; and forming a first electrode and a second electrode. The present disclosure achieves regionally differentiated treatment, reduces contact resistance, and improves the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the cell.
