Under recent innovation drives by leading firms, back‐contact (BC) solar modules have seen substantial gains in mass‐production efficiency and application breadth. In 2025, as gigawatt‐scale tenders for BC‐process modules emerge at solar farms, BC technology is set to accelerate, steer market trends and reshape industry dynamics.
Lead Intelligent Equipment (hereafter referred to as LEAD)—through strategic, forward‐looking investments—has amassed over 30 GW of equipment orders from top photovoltaics companies. At the start of 2025, LEAD won yet another gigawatt‐scale order from a premier PV manufacturer, underscoring its technological prowess and market endorsement.
Technical Breakthroughs: Leading BC Industrialisation and Capturing Top‐Tier Orders
LEAD will deliver a gigawatt‐class, high‐efficiency BC module production line, encompassing screen printing, string welding and related equipment. To balance groundbreaking performance with production stability, LEAD has unveiled an industry‑benchmark solution:
Warp Resistance: A proprietary tab‐reshaping process eliminates uncontrollable warping in single‑sided cell welding.
Energy Efficiency: A novel welding technology replaces traditional infrared methods, cutting energy use by over 50%.
High Precision: A unique tab‐pick‑and‑place mechanism guarantees placement accuracy, prevents distortion and averts cell short circuits.
The client lauded LEAD’s deep alignment with its requirements, noting that the end‑to‑end, bespoke solution seamlessly meets corporate standards. They expressed high expectations for ongoing technical support, service optimisation and even larger‐scale collaborations ahead.
Green Mission: Harnessing Equipment Excellence to Accelerate the Energy Transition
LEAD maintains a proactive stance in photovoltaics, having built a robust patent portfolio around BC‑route core equipment. Across TOPCon, HJT and other technology tracks, it has established a “pre‑research generation, mass‑production generation” upgrade advantage.
As its new products gain market acceptance, LEAD will leverage its holistic PV expertise—world‐class equipment R&D, full‐lifecycle service and relentless innovation—to offer ever more efficient, intelligent solutions. This will help clients reinforce their leadership in the global solar market.
Looking forward, LEAD will remain steadfast in its mission “to create value for customers,” forging new partnerships and employing its smart‐manufacturing capabilities to drive the global energy transition, all on the path toward its vision of becoming a world‐class leader in intelligent equipment.
