A new "inverter + energy storage" production line has been established to meet the needs of both domestic and international customers.
Signed an MOU with Serbia's Ministry of Energy to invest over €300 million in building a 1 GW solar panel factory and a 200 MW power plant in the city of Paraćin, making it a flagship project showcasing China's photovoltaic technology in Europe.
2023
Awarded as a "Specialized, Fine, and New" SME in Hunan Province (having already earned titles such as National High-Tech Enterprise and Science & Technology-based SME).
With self-developed PVT photovoltaic-thermal integrated technology and an intelligent microgrid management system, the company has achieved a comprehensive energy efficiency improvement of over 40%, creating a unique multi-energy complementary solution combining "photovoltaic + solar thermal + energy storage."
2022
Signed a deal for the 486-million-yuan intelligent manufacturing base in Huanglong, Shaanxi, to build a core photovoltaic module factory in western China.
2021
More than 10 countries—including Niger, Angola, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria—have established branches. These companies have been included in Hunan Province's export whitelist, and their products have repeatedly been designated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the provincial government for key projects such as "Lighting Up Africa."
2019
Year One of Going Global—The Sierra Leone branch was established, launching customized photovoltaic business in Africa and accumulating valuable experience in overseas localization.
2018
A 500 MW Industry 4.0 smart battery workshop has been put into operation, and its products have earned "National Super Leader" certification, showcasing an industry-leading level of manufacturing intelligence.
2016
Strategically transforming into the residential market, we are building a comprehensive "Photovoltaics + Energy Storage + Microgrid" system solution, with the goal of establishing ourselves as "China's No. 1 Residential PV Brand."
2014
We have completed the dual-wheel layout for batteries and components, expanded production capacity to GW-level scale, and taken the lead in launching EPC general contracting services for photovoltaic power plants, seamlessly integrating the entire "manufacturing + engineering" value chain.
2012
The crystalline silicon battery production line has been put into operation, completing the company's high-efficiency mono- and polycrystalline product portfolio and elevating its manufacturing capabilities to a new level.
2010
A highly efficient color solar system made its debut at the China Pavilion of the Shanghai World Expo, marking the world's first large-scale application of colored photovoltaics in the architectural sector.
2008
Investing 580 million yuan to establish Hunan New Energy Engineering Technology Co., Ltd., the company has built the world's first 200 MW color solar cell production line, securing a pioneering advantage in both technology and production capacity.
2005
The company's predecessor, "Changsha High-Tech Development Zone Green Power Automation Equipment Co., Ltd.," was established, officially entering the photovoltaic manufacturing sector and ushering in a new chapter for Hunan's PV industry.
2018
500MW solar photovoltaic module and inverter production base built and put into operation according to industrial 4.0 intelligent manufacturing standards.
2016
On June 15, 2016, in order to further expand market share and improve brand influence, the company officially began to lay out the home market channel network. Through the integration of upstream and downstream industrial chain, from a simple photovoltaic product manufacturer to a large-scale photovoltaic enterprise integrating R & D, production, sales and installation. By opening up business channels, the company's development space is broader. The company then put forward the goal of "building China's leading household photovoltaic brand!
2014
