SHANGHAI, June 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amid the PV industry’s shift toward high-quality
sustainable growth showcased at SNEC 2026, BC pioneer TCL Solar has transformed 
from a top global wafer producer into a Tier 1 module supplier.

**Leading the New Era: A Dual-Engine Transformation Foundation**

The PV sector enters high-quality development, prompting TCL Solar’s dual layout
across wafers and modules underpinned by three pillars: dominant wafer position,
full industrial chain synergy and high-value product lineup.

Upstream, it consolidates silicon wafer advantages to solidify industrial fundamentals;
downstream, it expands into high-efficiency modules centered on self-owned BC tech
and builds a complete in-house wafer-to-module production system, capable of mass
producing both BC and TOPCon products.

**Silicon-Core Strength: Six Product Series Reconstructing the Value System**

Wafers form TCL Solar’s core business foundation. Its six customized wafer product
lines set new industry benchmarks via premium quality and differentiated positioning,
covering all mainstream technologies and market demands ranging from extreme performance
and overseas high-end markets to cost-effectiveness and low-carbon requirements.

Guided by efficiency, intelligence and value upgrading, the firm leverages semiconductor-
grade production and AI smart manufacturing to deepen cross-chain cooperation, empowering
its high-reliability module development and Tier 1 development path.

**Proprietary BC Leadership: Three Advantages Building a Technological Moat**

Proprietary BC technology is TCL Solar’s core driver for module business upgrading.
As an early BC developer and mass producer, the company owns complete core patent
layout across cell design, production and encapsulation.

Its BC competitiveness lies in three unique strengths: fully autonomous core IP,
customized high-quality silicon wafers optimizing cell performance, and end-to-end
self-controlled production enabling cost control and stable bulk delivery. Supported
by these merits, the brand secures global BC leading status and paves the way for
Tier 1 module supplier qualification.

**Industry First: TOPCon Multi-Segment White Paper Redefines High-Efficiency Standards**

Co-launched with TÜV Rheinland, TCL Solar’s pioneering multi-segment module technology
white paper defines new efficiency criteria. Its matching T5 PRO product obtains
authoritative certification with notable power generation improvements, and the 
technology is poised for rapid market penetration in the coming years.

**Scenario-Driven Strategy: Full Matrix Delivery for Tier 1 Strength**

To qualify as a Tier 1 supplier, TCL Solar develops four core product families based
on BC and TOPCon routes, covering ground power station, offshore, desert, commercial
and residential scenarios with internationally recognized certification.

 ◦ Flagship BC Module: Built on advanced C3 BC processes with optimized packaging
   for global large-scale power projects.
 ◦ Smart Triple-Protection BC Module: Integrated multi-functional design for anti-
   shading, fire prevention and anti-dust to fit complex environments.
 ◦ Premium Residential BC Modules: Compact all-black and oversized shingled variants
   focus on rooftop aesthetics and higher power output for villas and distributed
   PV.
 ◦ Scenario Customized Products: T5 Pro for C&I and utility projects; salt-resistant
   marine module, self-clean desert module and lightweight rooftop module for respective
   harsh application environments.

**Value Leap: Full-Chain Strength Establishes a Tier 1 Benchmark**

TCL Solar’s upgrade to Tier 1 module maker results from long-term tech accumulation
and full-chain integration.

Going forward, the company will keep upgrading BC and TOPCon technologies, boost
industrial synergy and global layout to jointly advance low-carbon PV development
alongside worldwide partners.
