CHANGZHOU, China — Based on TrendForce, by the primary quarter of this 12 months, cumulative shipments of 210mm modules (together with 210R) had surpassed 260 gigawatts (GW). It’s clear that the 210mm n-type modules are rising because the predominant alternative available in the market, with seven of the highest 10 module makers producing 210mm n-type modules

TrendForce says that by the tip of this 12 months the enlargement of manufacturing capability for large-format wafers will proceed to speed up, with capability projected to achieve 1,174GW, accounting for practically 99% market share, dominating the market. Notably, the manufacturing capability for 210mm (together with 210R) wafers has reached 457 GW, accounting for 38.46% of the whole.

Rectangular wafers, initiated by Trinasolar in 2022, have change into a key innovation for corporations aiming to enhance module effectivity. Market penetration of 210R rectangular wafers is anticipated to speed up from the second half of 2024.

Based on TrendForce, the share of manufacturing capability for large-format cells will method 99% by this 12 months, with large-format cell manufacturing capability reaching 1,549 GW. Inside this, the general manufacturing capability for 210mm cells shall be 1,296 GW, representing market share of 82.66%.

TrendForce forecasts that the manufacturing capability for n-type cells will attain about 1,078 GW, or 68.8%, by the tip of this 12 months. Of this, the manufacturing capability for TOPCon cells shall be about 909 GW, accounting for 58% of the n-type cell market. TrendForce forecasts that the worldwide market share of n-type modules will rise markedly, from 26.22% final 12 months to 68.93% this 12 months.

Manufacturing capability for large-format modules will attain 1,365 GW this 12 months, with market share of 96.7%, stated TrendForce. Particularly, manufacturing capability for 210mm modules shall be 1,105 GW, accounting for 78.3%. By way of shipments, large-format modules are anticipated to speed up, accounting for over 85% of the market. By the primary quarter of this 12 months cumulative shipments of 210mm (together with 210R) modules have exceeded 260 GW.

Seven of the highest 10 corporations are producing 210mm n-type modules, stepping as much as obtain energy exceeding 700W. Amongst them, Trinasolar was the primary to mass produce TOPCon modules over 700W and initiated the 700W+ PV Open Innovation Ecological Alliance to drive this advance. Trinasolar introduced that cumulative shipments of 210mm modules surpassed 120GW by the primary quarter of 2024, sustaining its place as international chief.
