Who We Are

Driven By Purpose. Powered By Innovation.

TCL Solar is the latest product brand advancing TCL Group’s mission to accelerate the global renewable energy transition. The brand brings together the strengths of two industry leaders: SunPower, with more than 40 years of solar innovation, and TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics and advanced solar manufacturing. Backed by its parent company, TCL Zhonghuan (TZE), the solar technology manufacturing arm of TCL Group, a world-leading manufacturer of consumer electronics and white-goods (#2 in TV Shipments) which reported USD 44.9 billion in revenue in 2024, TCL Solar builds on a deep legacy of technological excellence.

TCL Solar, Shaping the future of energy.

Founded in 1958, TZE has played a foundational role in the development of the photovoltaic industry, pioneering monocrystalline silicon research since 1969. With over 4,600 solar‑specific patents, the world’s leading silicon wafer market share, and advanced 4.0 manufacturing capabilities, TCL Solar is well positioned to set new benchmarks for efficiency, innovation, and scale.

Leveraging vertically integrated manufacturing and large‑scale production, TCL Solar delivers advanced solutions including TOPCon, TOPCon multi‑cut, and Back Contact technologies, serving applications from residential rooftops to large‑scale utility power plants.
