In recent years, with the rapid transformation of the photovoltaic industry from P-type to N-type technology, new process routes such as TOPCon, HJT, XBC have made significant progress. Among them, the platform technology XBC (also known as “staggered back contact” or “IBC” battery) stands out with its unique advantages of “zero shading” on the front of the module, “zero cost” silver paste printing, higher photoelectric conversion efficiency, and more beautiful module appearance, becoming the mainstream technology for the next generation of photovoltaic cells and modules, and being the first to be applied in distributed photovoltaics and overseas high-end household markets.
As a leader in the global new generation of photovoltaic technology, Pioneer Intelligence has always adhered to customer-centric innovation, focused on industry technological progress, actively laid out XBC component technology, and launched an integrated intelligent manufacturing solution for XBC component string welding equipment from printing, curing, slicing, string welding and other links, helping to efficiently produce XBC batteries, helping global partners build stronger market competitiveness, and welcoming a new future in the photovoltaic industry.

With profound technical accumulation and research and development experience in the field of advanced photovoltaic technology, the leading XBC series welding machine has made significant breakthroughs in the process. The leading XBC string welding machine (LDBC03) solves the problem of mass production of BC battery components through innovative processes, achieving a production capacity of 6800 pieces per hour at the customer’s site, with a fragment rate of less than 0.2%, a string welding yield of 99%, and an overall equipment efficiency (OEE) of over 90%. It helps customers achieve an average battery production efficiency of 27.5% and a component production efficiency of over 24%, and the comprehensive performance of the equipment is at the forefront of the world.
In addition to breaking through the industry’s efficiency limits, the leading XBC series welding machine also performs well in ensuring product aesthetics and reliability. The leading team has developed a customized process carrier to solve the problem of warping of XBC single-sided battery cells after welding, ensuring that the product texture surface is intact and improving the product appearance. This product adopts an innovative thermal contact welding method, which does not require flux and avoids high-temperature welding. While effectively ensuring high quality and reliability, it significantly reduces equipment wear and maintenance costs, saving more than 60% energy.
At present, the leading XBC series connection equipment has been recognized by top customers in the industry, and the full line solution has been highly recognized, becoming the first supplier to provide a complete XBC series connection solution. As of now, Pioneer has received over 25GW of XBC equipment orders. In addition, based on leading technological strength and strong delivery capabilities, the leading series connectors, full process automation, main wet process equipment, printing, testing, and sorting equipment have all achieved large-scale full production at leading customer sites, helping customers break through the efficiency limits of batteries and components and achieve industry leadership.

As a leading domestic enterprise in photovoltaic intelligent equipment, Pioneer Intelligence not only excels in breakthroughs in individual equipment, but also focuses on creating comprehensive and multi scenario photovoltaic intelligent manufacturing solutions, promoting the industry towards green rejuvenation.
Pioneer Group fully upgrades its N-type equipment production line and launches TOPCon XBC、HJT、 A complete set of intelligent manufacturing solutions for perovskite and other photovoltaic cells, as well as intelligent manufacturing solutions for SMBB, 0BB, XBC and other photovoltaic module series connection equipment.
Through continuous exploration in photovoltaic process iteration and product innovation, Pioneer Group continues to improve the production efficiency of photovoltaic cells and module capacity, achieving a customer side battery conversion efficiency breakthrough of 26.5%, a single unit capacity of module equipment breakthrough of 12000 pieces/hour, and continuously reducing the overall operating costs of the line, helping customers achieve efficient production, cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
At the same time, Pioneer Intelligence relies on platform based strategic layout to achieve comprehensive layout in multiple fields such as photovoltaics, lithium batteries, hydrogen energy, and energy storage, creating an integrated industrial layout from photovoltaics to photovoltaic storage integration and photovoltaic hydrogen storage integration, constructing a complete ecosystem of new energy intelligent manufacturing, and driving global energy transformation with equipment strength.
In recent years, in order to accelerate the achievement of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality” as well as sustainable human development, the global promotion of solar photovoltaic power generation has become an important clean energy source for many countries. Behind this is the fundamental driving force behind technological progress in promoting photovoltaic power generation. With the continuous development of global photovoltaic technology, China’s photovoltaic industry may usher in a transformative leap in 2024.
On the one hand, the continuous high growth of photovoltaic installed capacity and diversified application scenarios have released new market opportunities for photovoltaic cells and components. According to data released by the National Energy Administration, in the first quarter of this year, China’s newly installed photovoltaic power generation capacity reached 45.74GW, a year-on-year increase of 35.89%. Among them, 21.93GW of centralized photovoltaic power stations and 23.81GW of distributed photovoltaic power stations (including 6.92GW of household photovoltaic power) were added.
On the other hand, driven by the economic demand of the global photovoltaic market, cost reduction and efficiency improvement remain the core themes of industry development, especially in the context of intensified supply side competition and insufficient high-end production capacity in recent years. The efficiency revolution in the field of photovoltaic cells and modules is becoming the key to determining the cost-effectiveness and market advantages of enterprises.
As an important force driving the development of global photovoltaic technology, Pioneer Intelligence will continue to explore the forefront of photovoltaic technology, promote the high-quality development of the global photovoltaic industry with leading technology layout, shine the bright business card of China’s “smart manufacturing” with excellent quality, work together with more industry partners, and contribute intelligent manufacturing strength to the national dual carbon strategy and global new energy development.
