Talesun Photovoltaic has been featured on multiple rankings in the “PVBL 2018 Annual Photovoltaic Brand Rankings.”

On May 10, the “PVBL 2018 China Photovoltaic Brand Rankings” were officially unveiled at the Fourth Century PV Conference. Talesun Photovoltaic was honored with awards for “Power Plant Investment Brand Value,” “EPC Brand Value,” and the “Annual 5A Brand Award,” while its parent company, Zhongli Group, received the “Annual Most Influential Group” award.

More than 400 industry leaders and experts, including Xu Dingming—State Council Counselor, Deputy Director of the National Energy Expert Advisory Committee, Member of the National Climate Expert Committee, and former Director-General of the Energy Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission—attended the forum to discuss hot topics such as the 2019 photovoltaic market outlook and global market analysis, and to explore the future path of China’s photovoltaic development.

The China Photovoltaic Brand Ranking was first launched in 2012 by the Photovoltaic Brand Lab (PVBL) and Century New Energy Network. It has been successfully published for six consecutive years and is widely regarded as a “barometer of the Chinese photovoltaic market.” The ranking is based on the national standards GB/T 31041-2014, “Requirements for Quality Evaluation of Brand Value”; GB/T 31042-2014, “Requirements for Service Evaluation of Brand Value”; and GB/T 31043-2014, “Requirements for Technological Innovation Evaluation of Brand Value,” supported by a multi‑dimensional assessment framework and comprehensive data‑collection efforts. The survey aims to evaluate the brand value and market impact of companies across the photovoltaic industry chain in 2018. Drawing on more than ten thousand authentic questionnaires, logical data comparisons, and multidimensional analytical techniques, the study quantifies key indicators, providing industry players, government agencies, financial institutions, and solar‑power‑plant investors with a professional, authoritative, third‑party annual brand‑evaluation report.

Talesun Photovoltaic has repeatedly ranked on this list over the past few years, and its strong return to the list this year is a testament to the company’s steadily growing strength. With a global outlook, it has deepened its presence in both domestic and international markets, leveraging diversified growth across products, technology, and services to build robust brand influence.

On the path of brand building and technological innovation, Talesun Photovoltaic has embarked on a new journey into the Industry 4.0 era. Through production-line upgrades and technological advancements, the company has enhanced both manufacturing efficiency and product quality, thereby strengthening its competitiveness in domestic and international markets—particularly in key regions such as Europe, the United States, Japan, and Australia. By pursuing continuous innovation, Talesun Photovoltaic will further improve the conversion efficiency of its high‑efficiency solar cells, spearhead the widespread adoption of advanced photovoltaic products, drive down the levelized cost of electricity, and promote the broader application and greater accessibility of solar energy.

In addition to its ongoing innovations in photovoltaic module products, Talesun Photovoltaic has also undertaken a series of innovative initiatives at the downstream power‑plant end‑use stage. By pursuing “PV+” diversified development—integrating photovoltaics with modern agriculture and aquaculture—Talesun has succeeded in reducing overall costs and enhancing returns, thereby providing an effective pathway to achieving grid parity.

Compared with the construction of standalone photovoltaic power plants, Talesun Photovoltaics’ next-generation “Smart PV + Tech‑Driven Agriculture” agricultural PV projects offer numerous advantages. On the one hand, vigorously promoting “PV+” models—such as agrivoltaics and aquavoltaics—can help overcome land‑use constraints in solar power generation, enable the integrated utilization of multiple resources, and enhance land‑use efficiency. On the other hand, by integrating photovoltaics with eco‑tourism, rural revitalization, and the development of distinctive small towns, these projects not only boost incomes for both agriculture and farmers but also contribute to building a Beautiful China and advancing rural revitalization.

Moreover, the “Smart PV + Tech‑Driven Agriculture” model has made it possible for a single plot of land to simultaneously generate multiple streams of value—ranging from electricity‑generation revenue and agricultural income to government tax contributions. Building on this approach, Talesun Photovoltaic’s second‑generation agrivoltaic innovation project, the “Poverty‑Stricken Village PV Farm,” has been rolled out across 73 counties in 21 provinces nationwide, pioneering a targeted poverty‑alleviation strategy that delivers stable, cumulative returns over two decades through the integration of photovoltaics, agriculture, and employment in impoverished areas.

Committed to our brand and forging ahead with determination, Talesun Photovoltaic will continue to strengthen technological innovation, drive high-quality development in the photovoltaic industry, and contribute to the global transition to a clean energy era.
