From June 14 to June 16, Intersolar Europe 2023, a solar and PV technology exhibition, was held in Munich, Germany. GCL Tech's core innovation, the FBR granular silicon, made a spectacular European debut, joining global partners at the industry event.

As the largest and most influential exhibition in the solar industry, Intersolar 2023 encompassed almost all leading PV companies worldwide. Nearly 300 Chinese PV companies, including GCL, were present to explore innovation possibilities and discuss industry development trends.

GCL Tech is a global leader in the production of PV polysilicon and silicon wafers, boasting the largest granular silicon production capacity worldwide. Since 2019, the company has officially initiated its modular construction of 20,000-ton FBR granular silicon. The current production capacity is estimated to reach 700,000 tons, with operations advancing concurrently in Xuzhou, Leshan, Baotou, Hohhot, and Wuhai. Moreover, the market share has steadily increased, surpassing 10% in 2022.

Compared with the rod silicon produced using the Siemens method, every 10,000 tons of FBR granular silicon produced can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 389,000 tons. From the perspective of the entire industry chain, the production of 1 GW modules using granular silicon can reduce carbon by 95,200 tons, and 100,000 tons of FBR granular silicon used during the entire life cycle can reduce carbon emissions by 1.117 billion tons.

FBR granular silicon has obtained carbon footprint certificates in both China and France in the field of PV raw materials, setting a new world record for the lowest carbon footprint of silicon materials. With the advent of the n-type era and the breakthrough of CCz technology, GCL Tech is poised to bring a revolutionary upgrade to the PV industry.

Worth mentioning is that at this exhibition, GCL System Integration debuted a range of flagship products such as n-type high-efficiency PV modules and energy storage solutions. For the first time in Europe, the n-type TOPCon bifacial monocrystalline module product was launched, along with the BIPV TOPCon module, Evolution series, and Honor series energy storage systems.
