Yingfa

Yingfa (英发) is the core brand of Yingfa Group, a Chinese enterprise whose flagship operating subsidiary, Yingfa Ruineng (英发睿能), is a specialized manufacturer of solar photovoltaic cells. According to the company's official website, Yingfa Ruineng was established in 2016 and focuses on the research, development, production and sale of photovoltaic cells. It describes itself as a global leading specialized photovoltaic cell manufacturer, with products sold worldwide covering both P-type and N-type cells. The company states that it is the world's second-largest specialized manufacturer of N-type TOPCon cells, based on InfoLink Consulting's 2025 global photovoltaic cell shipment ranking. Yingfa Ruineng operates four manufacturing bases: Tianchang (Anhui), Yibin (Sichuan), Mianyang (Sichuan), and an overseas base in Indonesia. The Yibin base, established in 2022, serves as the headquarters and has an annual capacity of 29 GW of TOPCon cells, 6 GW of BC cells, and 14 GW of monocrystalline silicon rods. The Tianchang base, founded in 2016, mainly produces PERC cells. The Mianyang base, established in 2025, has an annual capacity of 9 GW of TOPCon cells. The Indonesia base, established in 2024 in the Galang Batang Special Economic Zone on Batam Island, has an annual capacity of 7.5 GW of TOPCon cells. The company reports over 6,500 employees globally and an annual output value potential of over 20 billion RMB. The company's product portfolio includes P-type and N-type cells, with a focus on N-type TOPCon technology and next-generation N-type xBC cells. Its TOPCon cells have achieved conversion efficiencies up to 27.02%. Yingfa Ruineng is recognized as a national-level specialized and sophisticated "Little Giant" enterprise and a national high-tech enterprise. It has received a 5A1 highest credit rating from Dun & Bradstreet and has been named an influential photovoltaic cell brand. Its products have obtained French carbon footprint certification and TUV SUD certification. Yingfa Group, the parent, is also associated with the Yingfa brand in other sectors. A Japanese Wikipedia article describes YINGFA as a Chinese private enterprise founded in 1989 in Dongguan, Guangdong, as a swimwear and swimming equipment manufacturer. That entity, Yingfa Industrial Co., Ltd., produces swimwear, swim caps, and goggles, and is known for FINA-approved swimwear. However, the primary evidence from the official website focuses on the photovoltaic business under Yingfa Group. The relationship between the swimwear business and the photovoltaic business is not fully clarified in the provided evidence, but both operate under the Yingfa name. The official website yingfa.com primarily presents the photovoltaic operations of Yingfa Ruineng and Yingfa Group.

Yingfa Ruineng, the core photovoltaic subsidiary of Yingfa Group, was established in 2016 and began producing solar cells. In 2018, the Tianchang production base in Anhui Province was completed, adopting industry-leading monocrystalline PERC technology. In 2019, the company was recognized as a "High-tech Enterprise." In 2020, Anhui Yingfa Desheng Technology Co., Ltd. was established, demonstrating the group's layout in large-scale solar cell production lines. In 2021, it was awarded the national "Specialized and Sophisticated Little Giant" enterprise designation. In April 2022, the company signed a cooperation agreement with the Yibin Municipal People's Government, and in June 2022, Yibin Yingfa Deyao Technology Co., Ltd. was established, becoming the first solar photovoltaic enterprise to settle in Yibin. The first phase of the Yibin production base's 20 GW high-efficiency solar cell project was put into production in November 2022. In 2023, the second phase of the 10 GW N-type TOPCon cell project started construction in April; Yibin Yingfa Dekun Technology Co., Ltd. was established for monocrystalline silicon rod business; the second phase was put into production in July; the fourth phase started construction; and in December 2023, the first monocrystalline silicon rod was produced. Yingfa Desheng was recognized as a "High-tech Enterprise." In 2024, the Indonesia production base was established, marking a solid step in the globalization strategy. In December 2024, a strategic cooperation agreement for a 16 GW HPBC solar cell production project was signed with the Yibin High-tech Industrial Park Management Committee and major customers, and the third phase of the Yibin production base was launched. In 2025, the headquarters moved to Yibin, Sichuan, and the company was renamed Sichuan Yingfa Ruineng Technology Co., Ltd. The Mianyang base was also established in 2025 with an annual capacity of 9 GW of TOPCon cells. As of 2025, Yingfa Ruineng operates four manufacturing bases: Tianchang (Anhui), Yibin (Sichuan), Mianyang (Sichuan), and Indonesia. The company reports a total cell production capacity of 30 GW, with annual output value potential exceeding 20 billion RMB. Its N-type TOPCon cells have achieved conversion efficiencies up to 27.02%, and its 2024 shipment volume ranked third globally. The company is a national-level specialized and sophisticated "Little Giant" enterprise, a national high-tech enterprise, and a GEI China Unicorn enterprise. It has received a 5A1 highest credit rating from Dun & Bradstreet and has been named an influential photovoltaic cell brand. Its products have obtained French carbon footprint certification and TUV SUD certification.
