-GCL TECH presents FBR granular silicon at Intersolar Europe 2023, highlighting a solution that helps decarbonize solar production
MUNICH, June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — GCL TECH (03800.HK), a world-leading R D and smart manufacturer of photovoltaic (PV) materials, is coming to Intersolar Europe 2023 to showcase its revolutionary product designed to significantly reduce the Carbon footprint and energy consumption in the production of solar modules: the fluidized bed reactor (FBR) of granular silicon.
From June 14 to 16, the world’s leading solar expo, where solar technology innovators from around the world gather in Munich, will see GCL TECH present how its granular silicon revolutionizes solar manufacturing and FBR as a new technology that increases the reliability of solar modules while reducing carbon emissions and overall manufacturing costs, driving sustainable growth for the solar industry.
“We are delighted to be at Intersolar Europe to show our commitment to developing high-tech solar solutions for users around the world. The birth of GCL FBR granular silicon represents an important milestone on our journey of empowering the solar industry to establish a greener value chain. Looking ahead, we will continue to expand our business presence abroad by increasing our investments in manufacturing bases around the world, in line with our ambition to help accelerate the global energy transition,” said Lan Tianshi, Joint CEO of GCL TECH.
Cost reduction favors the transition of the solar industry to n-type cells
As a result of 136 wholly-licensed patents, GCL’s FBR granular silicon meets three Chinese national and four international standards, and is recognized and adopted by the industry as a legitimate alternative to conventional rod silicon for its lower unit investment, lower operating costs. cheap and low carbon emissions. With its sights set on the expansion of the granular silicon market, which has captured more than 10% of the market share and is expected to exceed 30% in the coming years, GCL TECH is strategically positioned to meet the growing demand through the increase in its production capacity, establishing a long-term roadmap with the aim of supporting the ecological development of the photovoltaic industry.
GCL TECH also combines the high fluidity of granular silicon with the efficiency of the Continuous Czochralski (CCz) crystal extraction process to achieve simultaneous feeding, melting and extraction within a single crystal furnace, significantly reducing the time spent during the cooling and cooling stages. bar feeding.
Push to decarbonize production
Certified by the China Quality Certification Center (CQC) and the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) as a cleaner and more energy efficient solution, FBR granular silicon emits only 37 kg of CO2 per kilogram produced, which represents a reduction of more than 35% of the carbon footprint.
With an average carbon footprint of 400-450 kg CO2/kW, which is 10-28% lower than its competitors in the market, large PERC modules made of FBR granular silicon have been certified French carbon footprint. In addition, GCL TECH has also taken key steps to become a carbon neutral company by transitioning to 100% renewable electricity in its production: the company’s manufacturing base in Leshan runs entirely on renewable energy.
