Mingyang Photovoltaic, a unit of Mingyang Group, said it has started mass production of its first zero-busbar (0BB) HJT solar module at its Shaoguan plant. The 0BB-HJT modules use ultra-fine welding ribbons to reduce surface stress variation caused by changing temperatures, increasing contact points with fine grid lines to minimize micro-cracks and boost production yield. Mingyang Photovoltaic plans to ramp up output based on market demand. The 4 GW Shaoguan facility in Guangdong province required a total investment of CNY 1.9 billion. Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) has upgraded Trina Solar’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) rating from “BB” to “BBB” for 2024, positioning it among the leaders in the PV industry.
