PVTIME – Hunan Huamin Holdings Co (300345.SZ), a leading manufacturer and distributor of wear-resistant cast products, announced on 17 August 2023 that its holding subsidiary, Honsun, has signed a monocrystalline silicon wafer supply agreement with Anhui Huasun Energy Co, Ltd. (Huasun), a company with the world’s leading team in HJT solar cell R&D and mass production.
Under the agreement, Huasun will purchase 15GW of monocrystalline silicon wafers from Honsun for HJT cell production from November 2023 to November 2026, with an estimated contract value of 5.5 billion yuan.
Honsun is mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of solar photovoltaic silicon ingots and wafers, as well as the application of external material recycling technology, and is committed to providing reliable PV products to silicon wafer manufacturers in the upstream of the photovoltaic industry chain.

Its average annual revenue of 2 billion yuan will then be about 10 times higher than that in recent years.
