**After just one year, FuturaSun's Taizhou plant has doubled its production capacity of photovoltaic modules. **

One year ago, FuturaSun announced the opening of a new plant in China, in the Taizhou photovoltaic district, near Shanghai. Initially, the new plant ensured a production capacity of 500 MW per year but, as the company highlighted, **the aim was to reach 1 GW**.** **

**Despite the pandemic, after just one year, the GIGA-project is a successful achievement. **

FuturaSun opens a new production plant, next to the previous one, with other two production lines, whose annual capacity is 550 MW.

The new highly automated production lines will process **half-cut cells (166 mm to 210 mm) **for 2120 mm x 1050 mm modules.

The half-cut configuration and the increase in number of busbars - the distinctive feature of FuturaSun's latest top-range modules - improve the panel's efficiency and duration.

FuturaSun's production has always aimed at applying **quality technical improvements** to achieve high efficiency and performance. The Italian team focuses on research and development, allowing FuturaSun's production plants to use **state-of-the-art technologies**, including IBC technology, cylindrical ribbon, glass-glass solutions and modules with independent sections.
