Recently, Qinghai Huahui New Energy Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of core tower CSP equipment, became a council member of the CSTA. This will help drive collaborative innovation in the domestic tower CSP industry chain and improve the self-contained industrial system.
The company was established in 2009 in the Qaidam Basin of Qinghai, focusing on steel structures and pressure vessel manufacturing, building solid expertise in precision machining and engineering construction. From 2015 to 2017, it entered the tower CSP sector, developing heliostats and smart tracking brackets, making it one of the earliest domestic enterprises to promote the localization of CSP equipment. In 2022, the company rebranded and upgraded, divesting its traditional business to focus on wind, solar, thermal, and energy storage equipment. It was recognized as a national-level "Little Giant" specialized and innovative enterprise, holding over 50 core patents, and completing its transformation into a technology-driven precision manufacturing company.
Currently, the company has built an automated production line with an annual capacity of 150,000 sets of CSP and PV smart brackets, integrating the full chain of R&D, production, installation, and O&M. It provides one-stop power station supporting services, with products adapted to extreme environments including severe cold, high altitude, strong sandstorms, and intense UV radiation. It is a benchmark enterprise for tower CSP equipment in northwest China.
Heliostats and tracking brackets are key energy-harvesting components of CSP plants, directly affecting power generation efficiency and service life. Relying on years of technical and project experience, Qinghai Huahui's products lead the industry in environmental adaptability and firmly rank in the first tier of domestic manufacturers. The company holds outstanding market advantages, with a domestic heliostat market share of nearly 40% for years. It is the only domestic supplier of tower CSP tracking heliostat frames with cumulative project performance exceeding 1 GW, with a total supporting project scale of 1.06 GW, covering benchmark power stations in Qinghai, Xinjiang, Jilin, and other regions, accounting for nearly 40% of the total domestic installed CSP capacity.
After joining the alliance, Qinghai Huahui will leverage the alliance's industry-university-research platform to tackle core technologies addressing industry pain points such as adaptation to extreme operating conditions, precision manufacturing, and long-term corrosion protection. It will accelerate the commercialization of research achievements, coordinate with upstream and downstream partners to improve the industry chain, participate in the formulation of industry standards, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the domestic CSP industry.
