Built for Pakistan: Tongwei’s TNC 2.0 Modules Boost Energy Yield, Lower Costs, and Enhance Reliability

As Pakistan accelerates its transition toward affordable and indigenous energy, the choice of solar technology—and the partner behind it—has become more critical than ever. In a market challenged by rising tariffs, fuel imports, land constraints, and harsh climatic conditions, reliability, efficiency, and bankability are no longer optional; they are essential.

Tongwei Solar, a Fortune Global 500 company and BloombergNEF Tier-1 module supplier, stands out as one of the few manufacturers globally that controls the entire photovoltaic value chain—from polysilicon to cells and modules. As the world’s largest supplier of polysilicon and solar cells and a global Top-5 module shipper, Tongwei brings cost competitiveness, supply security, and long-term bankability—key requirements for Pakistan’s growing utility-scale, C&I, and rooftop solar segments.

Designed with high-temperature, dust-prone, and humid environments in mind, Tongwei’s TNC 2.0 bifacial module series directly addresses Pakistan’s operating realities. Available in both G12 (24BB) and G12R (20BB) formats, the modules feature an ultra-multiple busbar design that improves current collection, minimizes resistive losses, and enhances overall module performance. With front-side efficiencies approaching 25%, TNC 2.0 enables developers to maximize output on limited land and rooftops.

Equally important is rear-side performance. TNC 2.0 modules under R&D have achieved bifaciality exceeding 88%, certified by TÜV Rheinland and CGC, allowing projects to harvest additional energy from reflected light—particularly valuable during Pakistan’s hazy mornings, winter fog, and low-angle sunlight conditions.

Durability remains a cornerstone. In the 2025 Kiwa PVEL PV Module Reliability Scorecard, Tongwei was once again named a Top Performer, achieving maximum ratings across all major stress tests, including Thermal Cycling, Damp Heat, PID, LeTID, and UV exposure—assuring stable performance over decades.

From an economic standpoint, the G12R-66 module can reduce Balance-of-System costs by 1.42%, lower LCoE by 1.65%, and improve land-use efficiency by around 4.6%. Long-term simulations show higher lifetime energy yields, translating into stronger returns and improved project bankability.

For Pakistan’s IPPs, developers, and industrial consumers navigating energy insecurity and cost pressures, Tongwei’s TNC 2.0 series offers a compelling pathway toward resilient, high-performance, and future-ready solar investments.
