What Talesun Solar does

Talesun Solar (腾晖光伏), legally Suzhou Talesun Solar Technologies Co., Ltd., is a Chinese vertically integrated photovoltaic module manufacturer and energy solutions provider founded in 2009 and headquartered in Changshu, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. The company designs, produces, and sells crystalline-silicon PV modules across four cell technology platforms — PERC, TOPCon, HJT, and BC — under three branded product lines: BIPRO (bifacial double-glass), BISTAR (single-sided high-efficiency), and FEATHER (lightweight), plus a building-integrated PV (BIPV) PV-W曜 series. It operates manufacturing capacity in China and a 1.5–2 GW facility in Thailand, with a licensed module line in Turkey via Kıvanç Enerji, and ships products to 80+ countries through 45+ offices and subsidiaries across six continents.

Talesun's revenue model spans hardware sales of modules, cables, mounting systems and storage, professional services through EPC and project development (8 GW+ developed globally), and a project financing support layer enabled by its parent C&D Group (建发集团, Fortune 500 #85 in 2025). The go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales to utility-scale developers (RWE, ENGIE, China Power Construction, AKFA Group), channel partners and regional distributors (DSS Solar in Vietnam, Paru in Korea), licensed local manufacturing, and event-led demand generation across major global solar exhibitions. The customer base is split between utility-scale ground-mounted projects, distributed C&I and residential, and government-sponsored agricultural-PV poverty-alleviation programs, with repeat recognition as a BNEF Tier 1 module manufacturer over at least four consecutive quarters through Q2 2026 and a fifth-time Kiwa TOP PERFORMER award.

The company holds a broad certification portfolio — TÜV SÜD TMP, TÜV Rh, CNAS, SA8000, IEC 61215/61730, UL61730, national green-factory status — and a patent base of 110+ effective patents including 30+ invention patents, with particular depth in agricultural-PV (Smart PV + Agricultural Science) integration. Talesun is a private wholly-owned subsidiary of C&D Group, having transitioned from prior ownership by Jiangsu Zhongli Group, and operates as that group's core new-energy enterprise.
