  1. Jun 2025
    GCL Kunshan GW tandem line starts (claimed first)
  2. Dec 2025
    2 m² tandem steady 27.06%; IEC safety cert
  3. Mar 2026
    Small-batch production, 98%+ yield, early deliveries
  4. Jun 2026
    Large-area tandem certified 30.23%, first through 30%
  5. Constraint
    ~80% after 1000h light; area scaling tax; shipments still ~100 MW class

Production tandem efficiencies 26.5–28%, certified through 30%. Company cost still ~RMB 1/W above c-Si. 20-year depreciation vs 3–5-year tech life—terminal value untrustworthy, hence low PB.
