HJT Everywhere: Huasun Demonstrates Flexible PV Integration from Balconies to Electric Vehicles at SNEC 2025
SHANGHAI, June 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Huasun Energy, the world's leading heterojunction (HJT) solar technology provider, launched three astonishing new products to push the limits of solar application on the first day of SNEC PV Power Expo 2025 in Shanghai, including aesthetic balcony solar products, vehicle integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) solution and anti-glare PV modules. Urban spaces often present multiple challenges for traditional rooftop solar. Huasun's new colorful balcony solar system meets this need with a compact, plug-and-play design tailored for apartments and high-density housing. It features pre-assembled brackets, vibrant HJT modules, and built-in microinverters—allowing residents to install their own clean power within only 15 minutes. As electric mobility accelerates, so does the need for extended range and off-grid charging options. Huasun's VIPV solution addresses this by integrating HJT solar modules directly into the vehicle surface. Featuring cambered HJT modules with 0BB design and curved glass, the system generates over 1.2 kWh of electricity per day—sufficient to support up to 25 km of additional driving range. Over the course of a year, that translates to approximately 2,000 km of clean, solar-powered travel—ideal for remote, off-grid, or low-infrastructure environments. Where solar installation used to be restricted by glare concerns—particularly near highways, railways and airports—Huasun's anti-glare modules now offer a breakthrough solution. Engineered with specialized optical treatment on the module surface, these HJT modules minimize glare while maintaining high power output—ensuring coexistence of superior safety and performance. As the world's largest HJT manufacturer, Huasun Energy keeps leading in the R&D and large-scale production of high-efficiency n-type silicon-based HJT ingots, wafers, cells, and modules. By continuously adapting advanced HJT technologies to real-world scenarios, Huasun is driving the broader adoption of solar energy across modern life.

So-Young Announces Extension of Plan to Implement ADS Ratio Change
BEIJING, June 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- So-Young International Inc. (Nasdaq: SY) ("So-Young" or the "Company"), the leading aesthetic treatment platform in China connecting consumers with online services and offline treatments, today announced that it is amending the effective date for the previously announced plan for an ADS ratio change. The Company previously planned to change the ratio of the American depositary shares ("ADSs") to its Class A ordinary shares from thirteen (13) ADSs representing ten (10) Class A ordinary shares to one (1) ADS representing fifteen (15) Class A ordinary shares, with the change originally scheduled to take effect at the open of trading on June 30, 2025 (U.S. Eastern Time). Following further consideration, the Company has decided to take additional time to finalize preparations for the ADS ratio change. An updated timeline will be announced once it becomes available. For the Company's ADS holders, the ADS ratio change will result in an effect equivalent to a proportional reverse ADS split. There will be no change to the Company's Class A ordinary shares. ADS holders of record on the effective date will not be required to take any action in connection with the ADS ratio change. The exchange of then-held (old) ADSs for new ADS will occur automatically with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by the depositary bank. The ADSs will continue to be traded on Nasdaq under the symbol "SY." No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the depositary bank and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the depositary bank. As a result of the change in the ADS ratio, the ADS price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS price after the change in the ADS ratio will be equal to or greater than a proportional price based on ADS price before the change. About So-Young International Inc. So-Young International Inc. (Nasdaq: SY) ("So-Young" or the "Company") is the leading aesthetic treatment platform in China connecting consumers with online services and offline treatments. The Company provides access to aesthetic treatments through its online platform and branded aesthetic centers, offering curated treatment information, facilitating online reservations, delivering high-quality treatments, and developing, producing and distributing optoelectronic medical equipment and injectable products.
