Not long ago, Dajiang, BYD, Bull and other enterprises have increased the number of photovoltaic, which has aroused heated discussion in the industry. In January alone, Master Kang, the leading fast-disappearing food company, also quietly entered the market, adding a new point of view to this wave of cross-border overweight.
Recently, Master Kang (Chongqing) Convenient Food Co., Ltd., founded in 2005, changed its business scope, adding power generation business, transmission business, power supply (distribution) business and photovoltaic power generation equipment leasing .
The above company is controlled by Master Kang Instant Noodle Investment (China) Co., Ltd., the legal representative and chairman is Tan Li, and the paid-in capital is 5 million US dollars.
While changing its business scope, Master Kang is also continuing to promote the construction of photovoltaic supporting facilities in the company's factories.
Digital New Energy DataBM. Com noted that Master Kang is speeding up the construction of distributed photovoltaic power plant projects in the near future. Since mid-September, Master Kang's official website has issued a number of tender announcements concerning photovoltaic projects, involving factories in Changchun, Shandong, Tianjin, Fujian, Guangdong and other places.
In fact, as early as 2019, Master Kang's beverage business has installed photovoltaic systems on the roof of workshops in Kangyin factories in Xi'an, Suzhou and Jiangmen.
According to People's Daily Online's "2021 People's Corporate Social Responsibility Annual Recommendation Case-Green Development", Master Kang's beverage factories in Guangzhou, Xi'an and Suzhou use photovoltaic power generation, with an installed capacity of 15.5MW. Among them, Pepsi Beverage Guangzhou Factory invested more than 7 million yuan by itself, laying nearly 4000 photovoltaic modules on the roof, covering 15000 square meters.
Master Kang's instant noodles business is also actively promoting the construction of photovoltaic projects. In 2025, a photovoltaic power generation project with a total installed capacity of 6.58 MW will be completed in Hangzhou Factory of Tingyi Instant Noodle Business.
It is not difficult to see that although Master Kang and the above-mentioned enterprises such as Dajiang have focused on the downstream terminal market of photovoltaic, the layout of enterprises such as Dajiang is the product side, while Master Kang is the application side. In
addition to Master Kang, the digital new energy DataBM. Com found that in recent years, the food industry is carrying out a "light-chasing action".
Nongfu Spring and Wahaha are two enterprises with earlier layout.
In 2013, Nongfu Spring Guangdong Wanlu Lake Co., Ltd. completed a 5MW roof distributed photovoltaic power generation project in the first and first phases of its Wanlu Lake production base. According to Nongfu Spring 2025 ESG report, by the end of 2025, the company has installed and operated photovoltaic power generation facilities in six factories, with a total installed capacity of more than 50 MW. In October
2016, the 2m W distributed photovoltaic project in Wahaha Industrial Park, Hefei High-tech Zone, Anhui Province was officially connected to the grid. According to a report by Xinhuanet in June 2023, 38 branches of Wahaha Group have installed distributed photovoltaic power generation devices with an installed capacity of about 111.58 MW. In
2024, the Henan production base and Guangxi production base of Mixue Ice City launched their own photovoltaic power generation projects. Henan production base has completed the installation of 5.99 MW PV modules; the installed capacity of Guangxi production base is about 5.35 MW. In addition, the company's Hainan production base adopts BIPV building integrated photovoltaic scheme. Yili and Mengniu , the two leading
dairy companies, are also actively developing green and low-carbon layout. By the end of 2025, Yili has promoted the construction of photovoltaic power generation projects in 32 factories and completed grid-connected power generation, with the installed capacity reaching 82.32 MW; the installed capacity of Mengniu solar photovoltaic power generation in 2025 will increase by 52% compared with that in 2023.
In 2026, the distributed photovoltaic power generation project of Qianhe Flavor Industry was successfully connected to the grid in Meishan City, Sichuan Province. The project adopts the "BIPV + BAPV" composite photovoltaic scheme, with a total installed capacity of about 7.2 megawatts (MW) and an average annual power generation of 5.4186 million degrees.
From the above, we can see that in the food industry, enterprises are no longer individual cases of adding photovoltaic, which is actually three economic accounts of the company.
The first, and most obvious, is to save money on electricity. Food production industry has high energy-consuming links such as refrigeration, sterilization and filling, and the production load is concentrated in the daytime, which is highly matched with the peak period of photovoltaic power generation. By configuring distributed photovoltaic power stations and absorbing clean electricity locally, the electricity expenditure of factories can be reduced, thus helping enterprises to reduce costs.
It is worth noting that food production and manufacturing is a typical continuous process industry. Once the production line is shut down unexpectedly, it will not only cause the scrap of raw materials and the loss of production capacity, but also cause the risk of batch quality and the high cost of restarting the clean area. In case of off-peak power limitation, the self-owned photovoltaic power station can continuously provide power for the production line and stabilize the operation of the production line.
In addition, under the background of the current world energy transformation , energy saving and carbon reduction and ESG have gradually become the "necessities" for the development of enterprises.
In addition to the above reasons, Master Kang directly incorporated photovoltaic into the company's business scope, which means that the company is no longer limited to simple self-use and surplus access to the Internet, but converts the roof energy of the factory area into energy assets that can be operated for a long time; At the same time, the practical experience accumulated in the construction, operation and maintenance of photovoltaic projects and carbon management will be able to replicate rapidly in various bases throughout the country, support the large-scale landing, and at the same time, expand the business boundary, laying the groundwork for the subsequent exploration of energy service business.
