On May 4, 2023, Sany Group's official Weibo posted a post "The Future Has Come!" Sany is steadily entering the photovoltaic industry! "The article shows that in November 2022, the first monocrystalline silicon rod produced by Sany Silicon Energy was successfully released in the Energy Industrial Park, announcing that Sany Silicon Energy has officially entered the stage of production and operation.

In December 2022, the off-line of photovoltaic module products announced that Sany Silicon Energy has successfully opened up the entire photovoltaic industry chain, with independent research and development and production capabilities from crystal pulling, slicing, batteries to modules, and also declared that Sany Silicon Energy has officially Enter the camp of vertical integration of photovoltaic industry. At present, Sany has more than 10GW of silicon wafers, new cell and module factories under construction.

In fact, Sany Group, as the ace player in China's construction machinery industry, has been receiving much attention for its entry into the photovoltaic field. As early as 2016, Sany Group announced its entry into the photovoltaic field, investing 30 billion yuan in five years, covering investment and construction in distributed photovoltaics, and self-sustaining operations and providing post-maintenance services. In 2020, the government website of Lufeng County, Yunnan also reported that: On December 17, 2020, Xia Yimin, assistant president of Sany Heavy Energy, visited the Lufeng Silicon Industrial Park and visited the monocrystalline silicon wafer production enterprises in the park. Both the government and the enterprise exchange and negotiate on the development of photovoltaic energy and wind power energy. On March 22, 2021, some media reported that Sany Group intends to launch a 30GW monocrystalline silicon wafer project in Yunnan. Its production capacity plan is: 5GW in 2021, 15GW in 2022, and 10GW in 2023. A total of 30GW in three years. However, the news has not been officially confirmed by Sany Group.

The active period of Sany Group in the photovoltaic circle is concentrated in 2022. From February 19th to 21st, 2022, Sany Group publicly released 14 photovoltaic equipment bidding announcements on the bidding website. The types of equipment include single crystal furnaces, slicers, Screen printing equipment, etc. It is speculated from the bidding project that the equipment for this bidding by Sany Group will be used in the monocrystalline trial production line of Sany Photovoltaic Project and the trial production line of Sany Photovoltaic TOPCon photovoltaic cells. This bidding action is also regarded by the outside world as the first step in the substantial progress of Sany Group's formal entry into the field of monocrystalline silicon wafers. Since then, Sany Group's photovoltaic layout news has continued. On March 14 of that year, Sany Group announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with China Energy Conservation in Beijing. The two parties agreed to carry out in-depth cooperation in new energy, energy-saving and environmental protection equipment and other fields. Editor/He Yuting
