TIANJIN, China, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL Zhonghuan (“TCL Zhonghuan Renewable Energy Technology Co., Ltd.”) announced the launch of its next-generation BC (back-contact) high-efficiency module at its Tianjin manufacturing base this month, marking a major milestone as the company transitions BC technology from advanced development into large-scale commercial production. Featuring a unique combination of proprietary BC architecture and in-house silicon wafer technology, the new module delivers up to 25.2% module efficiency and 680W power output, offering a high-performance solution for utility-scale and commercial & industrial (C&I) solar applications.

The launch further strengthens TCL Zhonghuan’s position in next-generation PV technology and underscores its commitment to driving higher efficiency, greater reliability, and lower lifecycle energy costs across the solar industry.

Advancing BC Technology Through Integrated Innovation

Unlike conventional BC products available in the market, TCL Zhonghuan’s BC platform is built on a fully integrated technology foundation spanning wafers, cells, and modules. The company’s competitive advantages include a robust portfolio of more than 1,600 foundational BC patents, dedicated BC wafer development, and decades of research and manufacturing expertise.

The newly launched modules are manufactured using TCL Zhonghuan’s proprietary high-efficiency silicon wafers. Based on the company’s advanced low-carbon wafer technology platform, these wafers feature minority carrier lifetimes exceeding 1,000 μs, providing an ideal foundation for high-efficiency BC cell architectures. Combined with an optimized cell design, the technology supports conversion efficiencies exceeding 27% at the cell level while maintaining a temperature coefficient as low as -0.26%/°C.

To further enhance system reliability, TCL Zhonghuan has introduced a next-generation hotspot mitigation design that can reduce hotspot temperatures by up to 50°C compared with conventional modules. The modules also demonstrate excellent low-irradiance performance, with a weak-light response factor exceeding 95%, enabling stable energy generation under diverse operating conditions.

Setting a New Benchmark for High-Efficiency Modules

The new N-type BC modules combine TCL Zhonghuan’s proprietary N-type wafer technology with advanced BC cell architecture, delivering strong performance across multiple dimensions.

With a mass-production efficiency of up to 25.2% and maximum power output reaching 680W, the modules are on par with mainstream BC products in terms of power rating. They incorporate enhanced resistance to fire risk, partial shading, and dust accumulation, while offering a 30-year linear power warranty and a 15-year product warranty.

The modules also achieve a bifaciality factor of 80% ± 5%, enabling higher rear-side energy generation and increased overall energy yield. Long-term reliability has been further strengthened through advanced PID-resistant design, limiting lifecycle power degradation to below 1% under testing conditions. The products have successfully passed rigorous certification and validation processes conducted by internationally recognized testing organizations.

In addition to performance advantages, the modules feature a busbar-free front surface that creates a clean, all-black appearance, making them particularly suitable for BIPV and premium rooftop applications. Their versatility also allows deployment across utility-scale, commercial, and distributed generation projects, helping customers reduce LCOE and maximize long-term project value.

Reinforcing Leadership in BC Technology

As an early pioneer and long-term innovator in BC technology, TCL Zhonghuan has leveraged more than four decades of semiconductor materials expertise and extensive photovoltaic manufacturing experience to establish a distinctive BC technology platform. By combining advanced BC cell architecture with proprietary strengths in large-format wafers, N-type materials, and intelligent manufacturing, the company has created a vertically integrated innovation ecosystem that accelerates technology commercialization and performance improvement.

TCL Zhonghuan possesses one of the industry’s most comprehensive BC intellectual property portfolios. Since achieving the world’s first commercial-scale production of IBC cells in 2004, the company has continued to expand its innovation footprint, securing more than 1,600 globally authorized BC patents covering crystal growth, cell structures, manufacturing processes, and module packaging technologies.

As global demand for high-efficiency solar solutions continues to grow, TCL Zhonghuan remains committed to advancing solar innovation through continuous technology development and manufacturing excellence. Working closely with customers and industry partners worldwide, the company will continue to accelerate the adoption of next-generation PV technologies and contribute to a more sustainable, low-carbon energy future.

PANAMA CITY, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For crypto beginners, the steep learning curve is the biggest hurdle to getting started with margin trading. Capital constraints, mounting interest costs, and the psychological pressure of market volatility often deter curious traders from taking their first steps.

To address these challenges, HTX, a leading global crypto exchange,  officially launched its “$1 Margin Trade” feature on May 20, along with three exclusive events offering a total prize pool of 40,000 USDT. With this launch, HTX aims to dismantle the three biggest barriers — capital, interest, and first-trade risk — in a single move, allowing new users to complete their first real margin trade at the lowest possible trial cost.

Event details: https://www.htx.com/en-us/support/55033233949364

Enter With 1 USDT, Unlock a 10x Position

The “$1 Margin Trade” feature is purpose-built for users who have never traded on margin before. With just 1 USDT as principal, the platform provides a 9 USDT interest-free loan, enabling users to open a 10x isolated margin position worth 10 USDT. The borrowing process incurs zero interest throughout, and if the first order results in a loss, the loss will be fully compensated by the platform.

The process is simple and easy to get started with: 

1. Locate Entry: Margin Trading Page > Top-Right Icon > “$1 Margin Trade”.
2. Configuration: 1 USDT Principal + 9 USDT Interest-Free Loan = 10 USDT Position (10x Isolated Margin). Parameters are preconfigured using a market order, with no manual adjustments required.
3. Select Direction: Choose your direction: buy to go long, sell to go short.
4. Instant Execution: Click “Open a Position” to complete the process in just 3 seconds. A 10 USDT Margin Interest Voucher will be credited to your account immediately.

Closing a position is equally simple. When users close a position at market price on the Positions page, the system automatically handles repayment. Any losses are absorbed by the platform, leaving the user with zero realized loss.

Three Exclusive Events with $40,000+ in Rewards Up for Grabs

To further incentivize new traders, HTX is running three concurrent reward campaigns, offering a total prize pool exceeding $40,000. From May 20 at 07:00 to May 31 at 15:59 (UTC), HTX is providing tiered rewards based on user participation.

• Open a Position to Share 30,000 USDT: During the event, users who open their first margin position via $1 Margin Trade will automatically qualify for rewards. The prize pool unlocks in tiers based on participation levels, scaling up to $30,000. Once the event ends, the final unlocked pool will be split equally among all eligible participants.
• Share $10,000 in $HTX Based on Trading Volume: Users who open a margin position via $1 Margin Trade and reach a cumulative margin trading volume of 100 USDT or more are eligible to participate. The prize pool will be distributed proportionally according to each user’s share of the total margin trading volume among all eligible participants.
• Complete Beginner Tasks to Earn Up to 100 USDT: Participants who complete the full margin trading cycle — including $1 Margin Trade, Margin Loan, Margin Trading, and Margin Loan Repayment — can earn up to 100 USDT in Margin Interest Vouchers.

A Defined Risk Boundary for a Trader’s First Margin Order

For users accustomed to spot trading, this is a near-zero-cost gateway to margin trading. For strategic traders who have been watching from the sidelines, this is an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the platform’s matching and liquidation logic. By shifting onboarding from static documentation and demo accounts to live market environments, HTX’s $1 Margin Trade feature bridges the gap between theory and practice.

Going forward, HTX will continue to adhere to its “user-first” philosophy by continuously driving product innovation and enhancing the user experience. As the crypto market sees an increasingly massive influx of new users, HTX will continue to refine its end-to-end ecosystem — covering beginner onboarding, advanced trading, and asset protection — while steadily lowering the entry barriers for everyday users stepping into the crypto space. The exchange aims not only to be a secure trading platform but also to serve as a premier, frictionless gateway for everyday users exploring the Web3 financial landscape.

Reflecting the evolution of SC’s luxury vision, each flagship residence introduced year after year represents a new benchmark in architectural design, exclusivity, and refined living.

Chinese web fiction IP draws brands across 34 countries as YUEWEN opens global licensing talks ahead of 2026 anime and game launches.

NEW YORK, May 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YUEWEN Group, China’s leading online literature and IP development platform, today announced it is opening global partnership talks for “Lord of Mysteries,” its top-performing intellectual property, after a worldwide fan event drew commercial activity from more than 34 brands across 34 countries.

The company invites brands, retailers, content platforms and investors to participate in licensing, distribution and content deals as it prepares to launch an animation special and two video games tied to the title in 2026.

The announcement follows the annual global birthday celebration for protagonist Klein Moretti, which this year spanned more than 200 cities. The activation included large-screen displays in 16 cities across six countries, among them New York, London, Bangkok and Seoul.

A limited-edition birthday gold banknote sold out within three hours of release and topped Tmall’s weekly merchandise chart. Overall birthday-series merchandise revenue rose 50% year on year.

“Lord of Mysteries” has built a global fanbase of more than 30 million. The original novel, published on YUEWEN’s Qidian platform and the first title there to surpass 300,000 average subscriptions, holds the long-running top spot on WebNovel by votes, sales and reader collections, with a Goodreads rating of 4.5 or above. Physical editions are now available in 14 languages.

The animated adaptation, co-produced with Tencent Video, debuted across more than 190 countries and regions in seven languages. It carries an IMDb score of 9.3, the highest recorded for a Chinese animation overseas. It ranks in the top 100 titles on MyAnimeList and holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating on Crunchyroll.

“Lord of Mysteries,” created by the author known as Cuttlefish That Loves Diving, is set in a Victorian-era steampunk world ruled by a hidden hierarchy of supernatural beings known as “Beyonders,” whose powers are organized through a tarot-inspired system. The story follows Klein Moretti, a young man who enters this world and rises through its ranks.

YUEWEN has signed more than 40 brand partnerships to date, with co-branded products spanning fast-moving consumer goods, consumer electronics, sports and fitness, themed retail spaces, precious metals and accessible luxury. The company says the IP’s core audience skews toward educated, high-income young consumers in major Chinese and overseas cities.

“We have proven the model across fan engagement, merchandise conversion and cross-category adaptability,” said Benjamin Tao, IP Operations Lead for “Lord of Mysteries.” “Now is the right moment to scale globally. We are open to partnerships across brand licensing, content collaboration and channel distribution, and we welcome quality partners from any market.”

YUEWEN plans to release animation “The Marked Hunt” and two games, “Lord of Mysteries” and ” The new LOM mobile game,” later this year, as part of a decade-long content roadmap spanning more than seven planned animation installments.

“‘Lord of Mysteries’ is the core IP of YUEWEN’s global strategy,” said Hou Xiaonan, CEO of YUEWEN Group. “We will deploy the full weight of our platform resources behind its international growth, and we are actively seeking partners who share our long-term vision for building a global IP universe.”
