SUZHOU, China, July 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd. (GCL-SI), a world's leading solar manufacturer, announced that its solar cell plant of 600MW production capacity in Vietnam has started operation on 27th July.

The facility will be a powerhouse in the production volume of GCL-SI for the global market, sharpening the solar energy group's competitive edge in the world, especially US and European markets.

Shu Hua, the president of GCL-SI, said that the Vietnam plant's launch is the latest step for the company's development requirement and entire strategy. GCL is now hammering at promoting its global competitiveness and building an international brand image. "GCL's high-efficiency PERC production line in Vietnam, based on the localized management, will offer a strong support to the high-efficient cell supply and contribute to cost-down as well as voiding anti-dumping issues," Shu noted.

The cooperation between GCL-SI and Vina Cell could be considered as a customization for GCL-SI, especially the PERC production.

By the beginning of 2017, it has achieved an average efficiency of 20.3% for Black Silicon PERC products. The result is estimated to surpass 20.5% by the end of 2017.

Exports to India, Turkey, Chili, Pakistan and other emerging markets has expanded, while 30% reduction to Europe and US markets, which has further impacted the anti-dumping issue.
