GCL Tech has been renamed for more than a year. During this time, the company has strengthened its technological base and accelerated its pace in the field of granular silicon. In terms of production capacity, the company's modular granular silicon base has rapidly taken shape. The domestic silicon production capacity that has been established and is under construction has reached 400,000 tons. On the product front, the company's granular silicon technology is continually evolving, rapidly enhancing product quality and leading the way in carbon emission reduction of the industry.

On July 14th, the "100·Investors | Discovering GCL Tech" event, co-hosted by GCL Tech and Cailian Press, took place at the Suzhou GCL Energy Center. Over ten renowned investors, chief analysts, high-profile financial commentators, and company executives engaged in a dialog and exchanged ideas on technological innovation breakthroughs and the logic behind PV investments.

During the interactive session, there was a lively exchange of perspectives, with Zhu Gongshan, Chairman of GCL Group, Zhang Xiuwei, Assistant Vice President and Chief Brand Officer, GCL Tech's Chief Scientist Jiang Limin, Vice President Amy Song, Assistant Vice President Song Hao, and Assistant Vice President of the Silicon Materials Division Xu Zhenyu among the leaders and experts present, addressing each of the investors' concerns. From GCL Tech's strategic planning to the unique advantages of FBR granular silicon, from the market's high recognition of the product to the new ground of industrial advantages in the zero-carbon era, investors proposed a series of hot topics, asked pointed questions, and received reasoned and well-substantiated responses. Granular silicon emerged as the most heatedly discussed keyword between both parties.

"Technology is a company's core competitive advantage," stated Zhu Gongshan, Chairman of GCL Group. "Upholding the principles of high quality, low cost, and low carbon emission throughout the life cycle, GCL Tech has been committed to research over the past decade and has successfully established granular silicon bases in East, West, and North China. This has significantly advanced the diversification of technology and fostered healthy competition in the PV upstream material sector."

In the discussion, another major futuristic product of GCL Tech, the perovskite PV module, was brought up. Kunshan GCL Photoelectric Materials Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of GCL Tech, is currently the world's only tech company that develops and manufactures commercial modules with a consistent single-junction photoelectric conversion efficiency exceeding 16.02%. By the end of this year, this efficiency is predicted to surpass 18%. Zhu Gongshan emphasized that achieving a conversion efficiency of 18% for standard-size perovskite modules is "absolutely unique" on a global scale. The next steps for GCL Tech include increasing production capacity and reducing costs, as well as "nationalizing as swiftly as possible" to maintain control over core technology and raw materials.

Looking towards the future, GCL Tech will continue to showcase its technological vitality. It will focus on the meticulous development of granular silicon technology in eco-friendliness, quality, intelligence, and cost reduction, and lead the silicon-based material development with a green approach.
