en.Wedoany.com Reported - The highly anticipated Intersolar Europe 2026 kicked off in Munich, Germany, with Tongwei making a strong impression by showcasing its photovoltaic (PV) industry chain. The company comprehensively presented its TNC 3.0 series and TNC 2.0 series products, tailored for diverse application scenarios including overseas residential and ground-mounted power stations, attracting numerous exhibitors and visitors.

At the exhibition, Tongwei launched its new-generation TNC 3.0 Light-Gathering Module for the global market. During the launch ceremony, Maximilian Lieberz, Global Business Development Manager for Solar and Commercial Products at TÜV Rheinland; Xue Qingsong, Vice President of Marketing at Tongwei Co., Ltd.; Chen Fangzhou, Overseas Head of Module Marketing at Tongwei Co., Ltd. PV Commerce Department; and Yuan Zhichao, Assistant Director of Module Marketing Technical Support at Tongwei Co., Ltd. PV Commerce Department, jointly unveiled the new product.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland, the bifaciality of Tongwei's TNC 3.0 Light-Gathering Series module can reach up to 93.07%.

Global Launch

Higher Bifaciality, Greater Comprehensive Returns

At the booth, Sun Le, Product Manager for Module Marketing at Tongwei Co., Ltd. PV Commerce Department, provided an in-depth analysis of the new product's advantages. Building upon the TNC 3.0 high-efficiency module, the Tongwei TNC 3.0 Light-Gathering Module features advanced processing, achieving a significant technological breakthrough in mass-production conversion efficiency and bifacial power generation performance, with a bifaciality of up to 93.07%.

Superior comprehensive power generation for extra returns. By applying TNC Light-Gathering technology, the rear-side bifaciality is elevated to an industry-leading 93.07%, enabling efficient synergy between the front and rear sides. This advantage is particularly pronounced in scenarios with high-reflectance ground surfaces. In a 100MW ground-mounted power station scenario in Hamburg, Germany, it can generate an additional 1.41 million yuan in revenue annually compared to conventional modules, translating technological advancements into tangible cash returns.

Low temperature coefficient for enhanced power generation. Thanks to Tongwei's self-developed 360° three-dimensional passivation cell technology, the TNC 3.0 Light-Gathering Module boasts an excellent low temperature coefficient (-0.26%/°C). Even under harsh high-temperature conditions with intense midday sun, the module maintains "cool" and efficient output. Particularly in high-temperature, high-irradiance regions, it can deliver over 40W additional power gain per module compared to conventional ones, confidently meeting heat challenges and ensuring sustained, robust high-yield power generation.

Low degradation for preserved value. A PV power station is a long-term investment spanning 30 years, making the equipment's anti-aging capability crucial. The TNC 3.0 Light-Gathering Module employs quarter-cut technology, effectively reducing the module's operating temperature and slowing the aging of the encapsulation system. This controls the first-year degradation rate to within 1% and optimizes the annual linear degradation rate to 0.35%, ensuring stable power station operation. In the 100MW ground-mounted power station scenario in Hamburg, Germany, it can generate an additional 81.62 million kWh over its entire lifecycle, securely locking in long-term compound returns for thirty years.

High reliability for enhanced safety. The TNC 3.0 Light-Gathering Module utilizes shingled interconnection technology, installing a "suspension airbag" at the cell connection points to effectively reduce the risk of microcracks during outdoor operation. Combined with the smaller cell area from quarter-cutting, the module's resistance to microcracks is directly enhanced by over 100%. Whether facing bumps during transportation and installation or harsh overseas weather conditions like strong winds and heavy snow, it effectively minimizes the risk of hidden damage and failure, robustly safeguarding customers' project assets.

Collaborating with WWF to Fulfill ESG Responsibilities

Building a Climate Protection Ecological Community Together

On the first day of the exhibition, Tongwei jointly held a special cooperation report event with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Richard Scotney, Global Energy Efficiency Lead at WWF International, delivered a speech elaborating on the severe challenges posed by global warming to the world's ecosystems, emphasizing that accelerating the transition to renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions are inevitable choices for protecting fragile ecosystems.

Over the past six months, Tongwei initiated the "A Letter to the Arctic" special campaign, positioning renewable energy as one of the climate adaptation measures to drive action against global climate change, demonstrating how Tongwei closely links clean energy manufacturing with global ecological protection.

Deepening Global Compliance

Exploring Digital Product Passport (DPP) with TÜV Rheinland

Leveraging its foundation of traceability and quality control across the entire industry chain, Tongwei is accelerating its exploration of global green compliance pathways. At the exhibition, Tongwei officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TÜV Rheinland on the "Digital Product Passport (DPP)" for PV modules. Maximilian Lieberz, Global Business Development Manager for Solar and Commercial Products at TÜV Rheinland; Xue Qingsong, Vice President of Marketing at Tongwei Co., Ltd.; Fan Hua, Vice President of Supply Chain at Tongwei Co., Ltd.; and Dr. Zhu Zihan, Chief Sustainability Officer at Tongwei Co., Ltd., attended and witnessed the signing.

Dr. Zhu Zihan, Chief Sustainability Officer at Tongwei Co., Ltd., stated that the PV Digital Product Passport (DPP) is not only a technological extension of the company's capabilities in product carbon footprint accounting and supply chain traceability management but also a deep practice in advancing the digital transformation of the entire product lifecycle across the industry. The company will continue to accumulate digital and low-carbon technological capabilities, providing a replicable and scalable "Tongwei Solution" for data transparency in the global PV industry and the implementation of cross-border ESG compliance.

Deepening Quality Cooperation

Tongwei Cells Awarded TÜV Rheinland Global Strategic Partner Award

The outstanding performance of the TNC 3.0 Light-Gathering Module stems from Tongwei's product quality, technological strength, and global cooperation capabilities. During the exhibition, Carlo Humberg, Vice President of Business Assurance Services Asia Pacific at TÜV Rheinland, presented the "Global Strategic Partner Award" to Tongwei Solar. Pang Sanfeng, Deputy General Manager of Tongwei Solar Co., Ltd., accepted the award on behalf of the company.

Concurrently, Xiao Feng, Senior Engineer for Overseas Customer Service in the Platform Quality Department, shared insights on the application value of the TNC 1.0, TNC 2.0, and TNC 3.0 series cell products.
