10 years ago, it was still a "cream Xiaosheng" granular silicon, and now it is more and more elegant, not only dominating the major screens, but also frequently appearing on the official platforms at all levels, which is undoubtedly the authoritative recognition and positioning of this high-tech product full of market attributes.
If 2023 is a grand slam in the rolling tide, then entering 2024 is another good start. In less than a month, "People's **" and "People's ** Overseas Edition" have focused on granular silicon from multiple dimensions such as innovation, research and development, cost, quality, and low carbon, and presented its technology, market, green and other attributes to the fullest.
On February 2, "China Electronics News" published a front-page headline titled "The "New Three" Accelerates the Formation of New Quality Productivity", in-depth and authoritative analysis of GCL's "black technology" granular silicon relying on scientific and technological innovation to drive low-cost, high-quality, low-emission reduction, and rising market share, helping China's "new three" to climb high and strong.
On February 4, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's official WeChat platform "Gongxin Weibao"** original text, once again affirmed the scientific and technological support and R&D leadership of leading enterprises, including GCL granular silicon, to China's "new three".
In 2023, GCL Technology's granular silicon will appear on CCTV's "News Network" for 4 times, of which on December 17, 5 ace columns of the news channel will be reported on a rolling basis throughout the day, and 5 original reports will exceed 1 million + ...... hits on Xinhua News Agency and Xinhuanet clients
From a blockbuster to a multi-point bloom and full bloom, GCL Granular Silicon has created its own era of "flowers" by riding the wind and waves.
The "new three" is standard
Back in 2021, in February of this year, the granular silicon production capacity of GCL Technology's Xuzhou base was increased from 6,000 tons to 10,000 tons, officially entering the scale of 10,000 tons.
On April 7 of that year, "Science and Technology**" published an original in-depth article on GCL Technology's granular silicon products written by reporter Zhang Yecai on the headline of the 6th page with the title of "Meeting the Requirements of "Carbon Peak and Carbon Neutrality", and the new process of photovoltaic material granular silicon is coming.
After the article was published, it quickly attracted the attention of the National Energy Administration. In the afternoon of the same day, the official WeChat platform of the National Energy Administration fully text** the above article. GCL granular silicon once became a hot search on the whole network that day.
This is a milestone for GCL granular silicon, which has officially entered the public eye in the form of "official announcement".
All blockbusters are accumulated. Since 2023, GCL granular silicon, which has been grinding a sword for ten years, has attracted high-frequency attention from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the National Energy Administration and other national, provincial, municipal, and county official platforms.
On August 8, 2023, the headline on the front page of "Science and Technology**" once again focused on GCL Technology, in-depth analysis of the company's innovative practice and successful experience in successfully developing FBR granular silicon after ten years of grinding a sword, keeping the original intention unchanged, forging ahead, and successfully developing FBR particle silicon!
At the end of the article, he said, "* During his recent inspection in Jiangsu, the general secretary pointed out that energy security and security are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and they are the 'great things of the country' that cannot be ignored for a while. Zhu Gongshan, chairman of GCL Group, told reporters: "As an energy company, we must adhere to the principle that science and technology are the primary productive forces, talents are the first resources, and innovation is the first driving force. ”
Since then, the CPPCC network and many other authoritative *** full text.
On August 22, "People's ** Overseas Edition" published a special report on the new track of "Made in China", focusing on China's photovoltaic industry, which adopted the production workshop of Ningxia GCL's 5GW granular silicon N-type monocrystalline demonstration project and an interview with Song Hao, assistant vice president of GCL Technology.
Entering 2024, on January 23, "People's ** Overseas Edition" focused on the "new three things" emphasized by the general secretary with the title of "China's New Foreign Trade Engine is Becoming Increasingly Strong", among which GCL's "black technology" granular silicon was once again focused.
Since then, on January 29 and January 31, "People**" has reported on the technological innovation and market performance of GCL granular silicon twice.
According to incomplete statistics, in the past year alone, GCL Technology's granular silicon has become a "new old face" that has become more and more focused on central media, financial media, and industry media such as Xinhua News Agency, CCTV, CCTV, and Science and Technology Economy. Not only that, but it has also become an indispensable standard for the "new three", frequently appearing on behalf of the industry, and up to now, the official micro of the National Energy Administration has been reported 5 times on GCL granular silicon.
4 appearances on CCTV's "News Network" C position
CCTV simulcast made headlines, and GCL granule silicon accounted for the C position.
Following the "debut" on the national screen on August 26 last year, on November 29 of that year, the **TV station** column "News Network" once again unveiled the mystery of granular silicon, and the headline of the column was titled "New Ideas Lead a New Journey丨The Modernization Level of China's Industrial Chain Continues to Improve", revealing that the new energy industry chain including granular silicon is full of tenacity and the modernization level of the industrial chain continues to improve.
In the picture, when introducing the modern photovoltaic industry system with global competitiveness that has been formed in China, GCL Technology has built the world's largest granular silicon industry matrix with independent intellectual property rights, with a market share of 20% and an annual energy saving of 16 billion kWh, becoming a subversive of traditional Siemens technology upgrading.
This year, GCL Technology's granular silicon appeared on "News Network" for 4 times.
During the exchange, the reporter of "News Network" said frankly that this fully reflects the recognition of the new quality productivity of GCL Technology by the **authority**, and also reflects the hard core power of granular silicon to lead the direction of technological change in the wave of involution in the industry.
December 17, 2023, this day is enough to write the history of GCL granular silicon.
From "Morning News of the World" in the early morning, to "News 30 Minutes" at noon, and then to "News Network" and "News Live Room" in the evening, "* Continue to swipe the screen in one day.
CCTV's 5 columns jointly pay attention to the production of GCL Technology's Inner Mongolia Hohhot granular silicon project, the market benefits of Jiangsu Zhongneng's booming production and sales in Xuzhou base, and the innovative practice of GCL Technology's Xuzhou 5GW granular silicon application demonstration project.
A few days later, the "Economic Half Hour" column of CCTV Financial Channel (CCTV-2) broadcast "Photovoltaic Industry: Intensified Competition Promotes Technology Upgrading", and made a special report on the R&D and innovation of GCL Technology's granular silicon.
In May 2023, "Shanghai ** News" published an article titled "How does the granular silicon industry "embrace technology as king"? Focusing on GCL Technology's differentiated competition. Including this report, the number of hits on the Xinhua News Agency and Xinhuanet clients exceeded 1 million+.
Why does granular silicon lead the industry into the era of "flowers"?
*C-position, why GCL granular silicon? What is GCL granular silicon?
There is such a background - compared with the traditional process, the unit power consumption per kilogram of granular silicon produced is only 1 4 of that of rod silicon, and the carbon emission is only 37 kilograms equivalent, both of which have set new records in the world and have obtained the industry's only authoritative certification of carbon footprint in China and France.
Moreover, at the beginning of 2024, the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association officially included granular silicon in the same scope as rod silicon, and all n-type granular silicon ** were made public.
In fact, as early as 2021, the title of the manuscript of "Science and Technology**" answered this question - "To meet the requirements of "carbon peak and carbon neutrality", the new process of photovoltaic material particle silicon is coming".
A few days ago, an article in "China Electronics News" said, "Compared with traditional rod silicon, granular silicon has the characteristics of small size, strong fluidity, no need to crush, and simple preparation process, which can completely avoid the risk of adulteration of impurities, and has obvious advantages in quality, cost, and carbon reduction." In recent years, our granular silicon products have been continuously iterated with metal impurities below 0The proportion of products with 5ppbw (parts per billion) has exceeded 90%, and the overall power consumption has been significantly reduced. ”
At present, photovoltaic cell technology is in the transition period from p-type to n-type, which puts forward higher requirements for metal content impurities. In 2024, GCL Technology will continue to increase R&D investment to achieve a total metal impurity content of 05ppbw, or even lower, and strive to achieve 100% coverage of N-type polysilicon to downstream leading enterprises.
Just last Friday (February 2), CCTV Financial Channel (CCTV-2) "Economic Information Network, Punctual Finance" broadcast a reporter's investigation - "Photovoltaic Industry Survey, Polysilicon Stops Falling and Stabilizes, and High-quality Silicon Appears Structurally Shortage", which once again focused on GCL granular silicon, and straightened the above question mark head-on.
As Lan Tianshi, co-CEO of GCL Technology, said in an interview with a reporter from Shanghai ** News: "Enterprises attach importance to scientific and technological research and development and take the road of differentiation, and the final output will be different." Enterprises have innovation every year in order to continue to maintain their youth. ”
