TW Solar solar panels reviews

China's TW Solar, or Tongwei Solar, is probably the biggest solar manufacturer you've never heard of.

The company's main line of business is solar cell production, and it supplies cells to many of the world's leading panel manufacturers.

As at early 2023, the company had an annual production capacity of 70 GW. By the end of this year, it's shooting for 100 GW capacity. And it's not stopping there, aiming to have 150 GW of production capacity by the end of 2026.

TW Solar is also a huge employer, boasting more than 15,000 staff.

In mid-2022, the company claimed it was the first manufacturer in the industry to complete 100 GW of solar cell shipments.

TW Solar's products are manufactured at a number of facilities in China. One is in Hefei, Anhui province; which has been in operation since late 2013. There are another two in in Chengdu, Sichuan province, and also a factory in Meishan, Sichuan province.

In an example of "co-opetition", TW Solar also teamed up with another Chinese PV manufacturing heavyweight, Trina Solar, on the Tonghe New Energy project. This project involves polysilicon production with an annual output of 40,000 tons, ingot production of 15GW each year, a wafer cutting project (15GW annually), and a solar cell project with an annual output of 15GW.

While its primary focus is on solar cell production, Tongwei also produces a range of solar panels. TW Solar panels available and approved for use in Australia are listed on the Clean Energy Council's approved solar module list under the company name of "Tongwei Solar".
