Chinese solar-cell manufacturer headquartered in Chengdu, south-western China. The company was originally a fish-food producer before pivoting to solar in the 2000s. It provided the solar cells for one in seven of the solar panels sold worldwide in 2024. Its Chengdu factory, operated almost entirely by robots, can produce enough photovoltaic cells in a week to build a power plant with a capacity of more than 500 megawatts; two months of output produces more electricity over the course of a year than a large nuclear reactor.
I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone. My wish has come true - I no longer know how to use my telephone. -- Bjarne Stroustrup
