Core offering

Astronergy researches, develops, manufactures, and sells high-efficiency crystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules under the ASTRO N series product line. The company produces n-type TOPCon-based bifacial and monofacial solar modules (ranging from 470W residential to 735W utility-scale) sold globally to utility-scale solar developers, commercial & industrial (C&I) project operators, and residential installers through enterprise sales and a distributor network. Astronergy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CHINT Group and operates 12 intelligent manufacturing bases across China, Thailand, and Turkey.

Product overview

Astronergy offers the ASTRO series of high-efficiency crystalline silicon PV modules under the parent CHINT Group. The product portfolio comprises multiple series targeting different applications: ASTRO N8 (utility-scale, TOPCon 4.0, up to 735W); ASTRO N7 Pro (C&I/utility, TOPCon 5.0+, up to 670W); ASTRO N7 3.0/2.0 (C&I/utility, TOPCon 5.0, up to 655W); ASTRO N7 (C&I/utility, TOPCon 4.0, up to 635W); and ASTRO N7s 2.0/3.0 (residential/C&I, TOPCon 5.0, up to 530W/470W). All products utilize n-type TOPCon cell technology and are designed for utility-scale solar farms, commercial & industrial PV systems, and residential installations. The company also provides module traceability and authenticity verification services.
