North America’s largest international solar energy exhibition, SPI 2019, was held from September 24 to 26 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Talesun Photovoltaic was invited to attend the event, showcasing its latest high-efficiency products.
The United States is among the world’s top three photovoltaic markets and, this year, has recorded its first rebound since the imposition of Section 201 tariffs. With a robust market outlook, projections anticipate capacity reaching 12 GW, a figure expected to continue rising over the next three years. In June, the U.S. announced an exemption from the Section 201 safeguard tariffs—originally imposed in February 2018—for bifacial PV modules, removing the additional 25% duty on these products. This move underscores that the U.S. PV market remains, to some extent, reliant on imports. Since the beginning of the year, Talesun Thai plant has been upgrading its production lines; by year-end, its module capacity is projected to reach 1.5 GW. The facility primarily manufactures half-cell modules with 5BB and 9BB cell configurations for large‑format cells and is fully compatible with bifacial modules. For the tightly contested U.S. PV market, Talesun has thus secured a competitive edge.
Double-sided 9BB half-cell transparent module
At this year’s exhibition, Talesun showcased its BIPRO TP6G72M—a bifacial, half-cell, 9BB module specifically designed for the U.S. market. This module features 158.75 mm bifacial monocrystalline PERC cells, combined with half-cell technology and multi-busbar manufacturing processes, significantly boosting power output. With 72 cells (144 half-cells), the module delivers up to 410 W on the front side and exceeds 510 W when operating in bifacial mode. By sidestepping the U.S. “Section 201” tariffs, this product substantially reduces import costs, while its inherent characteristics help lower the levelized cost of electricity and markedly increase the overall energy yield of solar power plants. To date, Talesun has received a substantial number of orders from the U.S. for this model.
Party Hour
At this year’s SPI show, the Talesun booth once again drew a steady stream of visitors, with both new and longstanding customers arriving in droves. In addition to U.S.-based clients, the event attracted a large number of attendees from North America and other regions around the globe for discussions and business talks. On the afternoon of the second day, Talesun hosted a Party Hour at its booth, drawing numerous new and returning guests. Old friends and new acquaintances gathered to enjoy drinks, creating a lively and festive atmosphere that became a distinctive highlight of the exhibition.
Many years ago, the United States imposed anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese photovoltaic products, effectively barring a large number of domestic PV companies from accessing the U.S. market. As early as 2015, Talesun had already shifted part of its production to Thailand, successfully circumventing both the EU’s MIP and the U.S. “double‑reverse” measures. Today, with the EU’s MIP policy having been lifted, Talesun Thai plant—apart from a portion of its capacity dedicated to meeting France’s carbon‑footprint requirements—will allocate all remaining capacity to serve the U.S. market. Furthermore, Talesun plans to expand the Thai facility’s module‑production capacity to 2 GW by the end of 2020.
According to data from market research firms, the United States currently has only 4 GW of domestic module‑manufacturing capacity, while its 2020 photovoltaic installation target is nearly 15 GW, creating substantial import demand. Recently, a BNEF report indicated that large‑scale ground‑mounted solar projects in the U.S. will exceed 11 GW in 2020, with most of them deploying bifacial modules. For Talesun, which has long been strategically positioned in the U.S. market, this development represents an excellent opportunity—made possible by the company’s keen strategic foresight and well‑timed investments over the years.
