R&D & Innovation Case
In 2023, with several years of development, the mass production e?ciency of PERC cells increased to 23.6%, and will see limited room andgreat di?culty for further improvement given the theoretical e?ciency limit of 24.5%. By contrast, with a unique production process, TOPConcells enjoy a theoretical e?ciency limit of 28.7%, close to the theoretical e?ciency limit of crystalline silicon cells, and hence a huge potentialfor improvement.Since 2023, EGING PV has closely tracked market demands, and started the R&D and production of N-type solar crystalline silicon modules.As of the end of 2023, the mass production e?ciency of the high-e?ciency TOPCon cells newly developed by EGING PV was up to 26.3%. Themass production e?ciency of enveloped modules was up to 22.8%; the power of the same-type products increased by 25-30W, and the whole-cycle power generation improved by 3%. By far, EGING PV has mass produced and shipped N-TOPCon cell modules (Star Pro series), which arebased on N-type silicon wafers and integrate the SMBB technology, lossless cutting technology, double-sided and double glass technologyand large-size design. Characterized by big power, low cost and high reliability, the modules ?t in a diverse range of scenarios, such as surfacepower stations, industrial and commercial rooftops, complementation between farming and PV power generation, and complementationbetween ?sheries and PV power generation, and are widely received among customers both at home and abroad.
TOPCon series product project caseDirectional re?ective ?lm technology project caseWith the continuous advancement of photovoltaic technology, the efficiencyof PV modules is on the rise, and the development of photovoltaic industry inChina is becoming more mature. "Decreasing costs and increasing e?ciency" hasbecome the mainstream melody for the development of photovoltaic industry.Higher e?ciency, higher power and lower cost have become the common pursuitof the industry.With a view to fully enhancing the power generation of each battery in themodules and maximizing the utilization of PV energy, EGING PV started to developgap ?lm series products in 2023, requiring that the light transmittance and powerof the modules can be e?ectively enhance while maintaining the double-sidedrate and reliability of the modules.Gap directional and reflective film, referred to as gap film, is a type ofmicrostructure aluminum ?lm. The gap ?lm is located between the backglass cellplates or between the strings, and can re?ect the sunlight in the area to the non-light absorption area. In 2023, EGING PV started to work on the gap ?lm project,conducting enveloped research and sample proofing for the gap film. Afterreliability tests, the sample modules met the test requirements. For the same-type products, compared with the white glaze modules, the gap film modulescould enhance the power by 2-3W, and the trial mass production was up to thestandards. So far, the Company has completed the workshop transformation, andintroduced gap ?lm coating equipment to satisfy the gap ?lm needs of Star Proseries and Aurora Pro series products. After the gap ?lm technology is applied,according to the calculation of 1GW PERC module, the annual power generationcapacity can be increased by about 8,000,000kwh, compared with the white glazemodules, which can truly achieve the green and low-carbon development.

"Green products" refer to high-quality products thatmeet the environmental protection requirements inthe whole life cycle, do no harm or little harm to theecological environment and human health, and consumeless resources and energy. Its definition highlights twointernal implications: Firstly, in time of assessing greenproducts, we must adhere to the concept of life cycleand define the system boundary. We can not simplydeal with them in segments, and omit important dataand information related to the process. Secondly, theindex system of green products is a comprehensive indexsystem. In addition to the quality indicators concernedby consumers or buyers, its environmental protection,low-carbon, harmlessness, energy-saving and otherindicators can serve as a necessary supplement. Greenproduct certification is positioned for green and high-end products, and certification project indicators aregenerally higher than the existing relevant industrystandards.

Green Recycling Materials
In the photovoltaic industry, frames are an integral part. Traditional frames are usually made of metal materials such as aluminum alloy or steel,but these materials have some weaknesses such as large weight, difficult installation, poor weather resistance and high recycling difficulty.Therefore, the emergence of polyurethane composite frames provides a new option for the photovoltaic industry.The polyurethane composite frames can realize the recycling of physical composite materials, the recycling of composite materials to compositematerials and the recycling of composite materials to raw materials. In other words, wasted or old GRPU composite pro?les are cut and crushedand then bonded and pressed or formed into required products by directional chemical decomposition method. In addition, the composite framescan also be recycled, which can be processed into primary raw materials of resin and glass ?bers for further use through directional chemicaldecomposition method, thus fully achieving green recycling.In 2023, EGING PV upheld the concept of green and low-carbon development and imported composite materials for module products, whichpassed load test, DH1000 test and other tests after the proo?ng test. According to the single test below 140 ° C, 1M pro?les can withstand the loadof 20Kg, and do not have signi?cant deformation for 8h, with the corner code drawing force of about 150N, and the bonding force of about 90N/cmbetween the frame and silicone, the surface ?lm hardness of 5HW, and the internal hardness of about 8HW. Compared with the steel frames, themodules with the composite frames are featured with lower fragment rate, less power attenuation, and higher recycling rate, which will be put intomass production in the future.

Green Product Design
In the window period of N-type photovoltaic reform, advanced technologies are emergingin an endless stream, and innovative projects are blooming in multiple aspects, amongwhich rectangular silicon wafer has become a new trend and a significant direction oftechnological innovation in the photovoltaic industry. From 2023, the concept of rectangularcell modules started to attract the attention of the photovoltaic industry, and there werevarious exhibits at the SNEC exhibition held in May. Compared with traditional square siliconwafers, rectangular silicon wafers can get rid of the correlation between wafer area and waferthickness, and can achieve super-sized and ultra-thin silicon wafers and design optimization,so as to lead to lower production costs and higher power, and to enhance customer value.EGING PV has carried out the rectangular cell module project simultaneously. The size ofeach rectangular cell has not been uni?ed, ranging from 210mm*182mm, 182mm*186.8mm,182mm*191mm, 182mm*183.75mm and 182mm*185.3mm to 182mm*199mm. Throughmultiple considerations and selections, EGING PV finally determined the three cell sizesselected for its products: 182.2mm*188mm, 182.2mm*191.6mm and 182.2mm*210mm,corresponding to the Star Pro+ series and Aurora Pro+ series products. So far, EGING PV hascompleted the enveloping process research, designed the layout diagram of outputtingrectangular cell modules, purchased the corresponding materials, adjusted the workshoptooling and process parameters, and ?nished the proo?ng test.On the one hand, rectangular cell modules can help achieve the cost optimization of PVmanufacturing integration. On the other hand, they can achieve the maximum utilizationof container space. Therefore, it's predicted that it will become the best choice to replace182mm*182mm cells. Perhaps in the near future, rectangular modules will occupy the 182-type product market and become the mainstream of the market.

Green Product Application
During the annual NPC and CPPCC sessions, General Secretary Xi pointed out that we should activelyadvance the green development and energy revolution. The development of photovoltaic energy hasentered the national action program and the application scenario has been further expanded, and nearlyzero energy buildings and zero energy buildings and even power-generating buildings have become thegeneral trend. In an era when industrial and commercial rooftops are to ?ourish, EGING PV independentlydeveloped the BIPV Star Rooftop Solution, to combine PV modules with buildings, achieve self-generationand supply of power by buildings, and help reduce carbon emissions related to buildings.In 2023, after the R&D completion of Star Rooftop products, EGING PV launched a BIPV demonstrationproject by installing the PV systems on about 100,000 m2 roofs of its own plants. With an installed capacityof 18.3MW, it's a super-large power station on industrial and commercial roofs. At the beginning of 2024,it will be connected to the grid, and it is expected that the annual power generation of 18.3MW BIPV roofproject will be 19.22 million KWH, with the total power generation of more than 400 million KWH. The newtechnology and new products will help to boost green development and low-carbon transformation.
In the BIPV Star Rooftop Solution, the color steel tiles are integrally molded; the galvanized aluminum andmagnesium material adopted features high strength and strong corrosion resistance, and is of the sameservice life as the modules, greatly reducing the cost of replacing metal rooftops. The 360° vertical lockrandfundamentally solves the problem of water leakage. The T-shaped convex features a bigger contact surfaceand safer installation, while sharing the pressure on the module surface and making the structure solider.The double-sided self-locking design provides super-strong load resistance. Moreover, the guiderail-freeand quick assembly design significantly lowers the labor intensity in construction, saves brackets andlabor cost, and improves construction e?ciency. The modules are laid more densely, with the installedcapacity on the same rooftop area increasing by 15%-30%, fully utilizing rooftop resources.After the completion of the project, it's expected that the project will have the average annual powergeneration of 21.067 million KWH, with the carbon dioxide emission reduction of 21,004 tons and sulfurdioxide emission reduction of 202 tons.

Zero carbon factoryIn 2023, EGING PV Chuzhou production base was o?cially put into operation. The project covered a total land area of 1,000 mu and a total construction area of250,000 square meters. The related supporting facilities such as 10-GW battery workshop, raw material warehouse, spare parts warehouse, comprehensive powerstation were built.
In December 2023, Changzhou EGING PV
Technology Co., Ltd. was awarded the first
"Zero Carbon Factory" Certi?cate issued by the
China Quality Certification Center (hereinafter
referred to as "CQC"). In this appraisal, EGING
PV complied with the relevant requirements
of Specification for Evaluation of Zero Carbon
Factory (T/CECA-G 0171 -2022), achieved 80%
o?set of greenhouse gases, and it was appraised
as "Type I four-star zero carbon factory".
Awarded the ?rst "ZeroCarbon Factory" Certi?cate inthe photovoltaic industry
A distributed photovoltaic power generation project is implemented for the building roof, with an installed capacity of approximately 15 MW. After completion,the annual power output of the ?rst year is 19.125 million kWh, and the average power output in 25 years is 17.212 million kWh. In addition to reducing energyconsumption for self-use, the project can achieve saving of 6,883 tons of standard coals, reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 17,160 tons and sulfur dioxideemissions by 165 tons every year. The project's energy conservation and emission reduction e?ects are remarkable, assisting the Company in further achieving itsgreen and low-carbon development goals.
Interpretation: What's a "zerocarbon factory"?The greenhouse gas emissions generated during production andservice within a certain period of time (usually on an annual basis)is calculated by the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2 e) within theboundaries of greenhouse gas emission accounting. On the basis ofvoluntary emission reduction as much as possible, the remainingemissions are removed by emission reduction projects outside theaccounting boundary, and/or offset by a corresponding number ofcarbon credits.

Case: 2023 Carbon Neutrality and Green Development ConferenceProduct carbon footprint
In July 2023, T?V Rheinland Greater China, an international independentthird-party testing, inspection and certification agency, issued productcarbon footprint certi?cates for six crystalline silicon photovoltaic moduleproducts of EGING PV. The T?V Rheinland project team is composed ofexperts in multiple ?elds such as energy management, life cycle analysis,material application, and supply chain management, and the team hasperformed carbon footprint inspection on the EGING PV's crystallinesilicon photovoltaic modules in combination with the domestic andinternational supply chain trends for various stages of the product lifecycle- "from cradle to gate".
"Product carbon footprint"inspection certi?cate
Product carbon footprint refers to the total carbon emissions ofa product or service throughout its life cycle. In each stage of theproduct life cycle, the use of a large amount of energy and thegeneration of pollutants and the emission of greenhouse gases areinvolved. Therefore, the Company should not only focus on the mostdirect and obvious energy consumption and emission links, butalso examine the impact on the environment at each stage from aperspective of product full life cycle, and seize the opportunities forlow-carbon emission reduction in product design, production andsupply, etc.
Product Impact and Life CycleScrapped PV panels generated at the end of the life of photovoltaic productscontain heavy metals such as lead and tin. If they are not disposed of properly,serious environmental pollution problems may be produced. Other materials suchas copper, silver, silicon can be reused in the production of photovoltaic products,thereby saving rare resources and promoting the economic value circulation. TheCompany has signed an agreement with the European PV Cycle Agency. Photovoltaicmodules at the end of the product life will be professionally handled by hundredsof branches in Europe to provide customers with comprehensive collection andrecycling services. The agreement covers countries including Italy, France, Germany,and the United Kingdom, Poland and Spain, etc. In the future, the Company willcontinue to expand the service scope to achieve resource recycling development.
