Leading PV cell supplier Solarspace plans Hong Kong IPO

On March 13, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange disclosed that Solarspace had submitted an application for listing on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, aiming for an IPO in Hong Kong.

Solarspace had previously applied for an A-share listing on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s ChiNext board in May 2023. After responding to multiple rounds of review feedback, the company successfully passed the listing review in December 2023. However, the company withdrew its A-share listing application while awaiting approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

According to data from Frost & Sullivan, based on external PV cell shipments, Solarspace ranked first among specialised global PV cell manufacturers in 2024, with a market share of 18.3%. The company also ranked second among all global PV cell manufacturers, with a market share of 14.6%.

Another industry research firm, InfoLink, reported that among the top five PV cell suppliers in 2024, Solarspace ranked second, with Tongwei topping the list.
