Flat Photovoltaic Glass Project with Annual Output of 2 Million Tons Settled in Gongxian County, Sichuan Province

On April 23, Sichuan Gongxian and Flat Glass Group Co., Ltd. held the signing ceremony of "Manufacturing Project of Ultra-thin and Ultra-high Transparent Panel and Backplane for Solar Energy Equipment with Annual Output of 2 Million Tons" in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province. Vice Mayor Xue Qing attended the signing ceremony, and Liu Yi, Deputy Secretary of the County Party Committee and County Governor, signed the contract with Flat Glass Group Co., Ltd. on behalf of the People's Government of Gong County. At the

ceremony, Xue Qing congratulated the signing of the project, saying that the project of "manufacturing ultra-thin and ultra-high transparent panels and backplanes for solar energy equipment with an annual output of 2 million tons" invested in Gongxian County will surely promote the rapid expansion of the superior production capacity of Flat Glass Group, consolidate its leading position in the industry, and promote the development of the industry. It will certainly promote Yibin to further improve the photovoltaic industry ecosphere, make up for the shortcomings of the photovoltaic industry, and accelerate the building of a national photovoltaic industry cluster. Ruan Hongliang, chairman of

Flat Glass Group Co., Ltd., thanked the leaders of Yibin Municipal Committee, Municipal Government and relevant departments for their concern and support for the development of the company, and expressed that Flat Glass Group would accelerate the implementation of investment projects, while realizing the development strategy of enterprises, be brave in assuming corporate social responsibility, and invest in Yibin. Continue to contribute.

It is understood that as a leading global photovoltaic glass enterprise, Flat Glass Group Co., Ltd. currently ranks first in the world in the market share of photovoltaic glass, with glass production capacity exceeding 130GW in 2022. Following the signing of Lihao on January 6 with an annual output of 100000 tons of photovoltaic grade high-purity silicon and 2000 tons of electronic grade high-purity silicon, another billion-grade photovoltaic project has landed in Gongxian County. The contracted project, with a total investment of 6 billion yuan, plans to build four continuous regenerative horizontal flame furnaces with an annual output of 2 million tons of high-performance photovoltaic panels and backplane products with a daily melting capacity of 1600 tons. It is estimated that the annual output value will be 6.5 billion yuan, the annual tax revenue will be about 380 million yuan, and more than 1500 people will be employed. The signing of the

project means that the construction of the photovoltaic industry ecosphere in Gongxian County has initially taken shape, and the industry influence and driving force of the landing enterprises will lay a solid foundation for the further extension of the crystalline silicon photovoltaic industry chain in Gongxian County.
