At the recent AIPV2024 Digital PV Conference in Nanjing, the Jiangsu Photovoltaic Industry Association announced the 2024 Smart PV and Energy Storage Awards. GCL Silicon Materials Technology Development Co., Ltd. (GCL Silicon Materials) was honored as a “2024 Intelligent Photovoltaic Manufacturing Demonstration Enterprise”, highlighting its leading role in driving digital transformation across the industry.

As a global leader in high-efficiency photovoltaic materials, GCL Silicon Materials has actively integrated industrial internet, big data, AI, and 5G across its full business chain of R&D, production, supply, sales, and service. By building a digital management system connecting SAP, MES, and BI platforms, the company has created a smart interconnected production network, achieving seamless data flow across processes. The intelligent upgrades have enabled 100% high-purity polysilicon application, reduced manufacturing costs, and set a benchmark for low-carbon, smart PV manufacturing.

GCL Silicon Materials has earned multiple honors in smart manufacturing, including Jiangsu Province’s “Five-Star Cloud Enterprise” and “Intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration Factory”. In August 2024, the company launched a provincial-level industrial internet platform, marking GCL’s first major breakthrough in this field. The platform integrates cloud computing and IoT to enable intelligent management of production scheduling, quality inspection, and equipment maintenance, providing a replicable model for the PV industry’s digital upgrade.

Looking ahead, GCL Silicon Materials plans to further integrate 5G and AI into production scenarios, continuing to lead high-quality, technology-driven growth in the photovoltaic sector.
