CHENGDU, China, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TONGWEI, a global leader in renewable energy and one of the world's largest integrated photovoltaic manufacturers, has once again secured a place on the 2026 Fortune Global 500, ranking No. 464 globally. This marks the fourth consecutive year that TONGWEI has been included in the prestigious ranking, recognizing its strong manufacturing capabilities, business resilience, and continued growth in the global clean energy market.

The 2026 Fortune Global 500 ranking reflects the scale and competitiveness of global enterprises. The companies listed this year generated combined revenues of approximately US$43.1 trillion, exceeding one-third of global GDP. The minimum revenue threshold for entry increased from US$32.2 billion to US$33.2 billion, representing a 3% year-on-year rise. Despite a challenging global economic environment, only 122 companies from China made the list, making China the second-largest contributor after the United States.

Against the backdrop of global economic uncertainty and ongoing industrial transformation, TONGWEI's continued presence on the Fortune Global 500 represents international recognition of its comprehensive strength. It also reflects growing confidence in the long-term value and development potential of the renewable energy industry.

Built on advanced manufacturing capabilities and continuous technological innovation, TONGWEI has established a vertically integrated photovoltaic ecosystem covering high-purity polysilicon, solar cells, and PV modules. Through large-scale intelligent manufacturing, strict quality control, and sustained R&D investment, TONGWEI continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in solar technology.

Among its latest innovations, the TNC 3.0 module series represents TONGWEI's next-generation high-efficiency PV solution. Designed with advanced cell and module technologies, TNC 3.0 delivers higher power output, improved conversion efficiency, and enhanced energy yield for diverse application scenarios. The series achieves a maximum power output of 770W and efficiency of up to 24.8%, helping customers further reduce LCOE and maximize project returns.

Building on the TNC platform, TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX further enhances energy generation potential with superior bifacial performance. Certified by TÜV Rheinland, the module achieves a bifaciality of up to 93.07%, making it highly suitable for utility-scale projects and applications with strong rear-side irradiation potential.

From Fortune Global 500 recognition to continuous breakthroughs in photovoltaic technology, TONGWEI is leveraging its manufacturing excellence and innovation capabilities to support the global transition toward a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

MUNICH, July 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tongwei made an impact at Intersolar Europe 2026, launching its premium technology upgrade, TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX, alongside the upgraded residential star module, TNC 2.0 G12R-48. Pairing industry-leading efficiency milestones for utility projects with aesthetic solutions for residential roofs, Tongwei demonstrated its commitment to meeting diverse, global market needs.

The Powerhouse for Utilities: TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX

The exhibition's highlight was the global debut of TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX, representing a major technical breakthrough that delivers maximum energy yield on high-reflection surfaces.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland, TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX achieves a record bifaciality rate of up to 93.07%, alongside power output up to 770W and conversion efficiency up to 24.8%.

• Higher Financial Returns: Higher bifaciality allows the modules to generate much more power from the rear side—delivering a free energy bonus. For a 100MW solar plant in Hamburg, Germany, this configuration generates an extra €180,000 in revenue annually compared to standard modules, unlocking an extra 81.62 million kWh of clean electricity over its lifetime.

• Built for Extremes: Featuring a low temperature coefficient of -0.26%/°C, it remains highly efficient under scorching heat. Its specialized Louvred Interconnection boosts micro-crack resistance by over 100%, protecting the asset from heavy snow and strong winds.

Tailored for Residential Roofs: The Upgraded TNC 2.0 G12R-48

To meet the growing demand for premium home solar, Tongwei also unveiled the upgraded residential star product: the TNC 2.0 G12R-48. This module balances top-tier performance with home aesthetics.

• Maximum Power in Golden Size: The module delivers up to 480W with a 24% conversion efficiency. At a compact size of under 2 m², it maximizes limited roof space and makes installation much easier for local crews.

• Extended "All-Day" Generation: Powered by Tongwei's 360° 3D passivation tech, the module minimizes energy loss and improves performance during low-light hours. This extends daily generation hours—starting earlier at dawn, ending later at dusk.

• Extreme Weather Protection & Sleek Look: Featuring Louvred Interconnection tech, the module ensures better stress distribution. This effectively eliminates micro-crack risks caused by heavy snow and strong winds common in high-latitude European winters. Additionally, its uniform, elegant design blends seamlessly with modern residential architecture.

By delivering both the high-yield TNC 3.0 BIFIMAX for utilities and the aesthetic TNC 2.0 G12R-48 for residential markets, Tongwei continues to provide reliable solar solutions tailored to specific energy needs.
