| Work Detail |
In a significant move towards advancing renewable energy solutions in Southern Africa, SOLARWORLD Africa has joined forces with Risen Energy, a leading Chinese solar panel manufacturer renowned for its efficient and durable solar panels.
SOLARWORLD Africa, a key player in the region’s solar energy sector with over 40 years of experience, has identified the exceptional performance of Risen Energy’s Hyper-ion HJT solar modules as an ideal fit for the African climate. These modules are specifically designed to thrive in high-temperature environments and boast a remarkable 5.61% increase in electricity generation annually compared to standard mono PERC modules, particularly evident in locations like Johannesburg.
Gregor Küpper, Managing Director of SOLARWORLD Africa, expressed confidence in the partnership, stating, “We recognize the superior performance of hetero-junction cell technology and the advantages of collaborating with Risen Energy. By formalizing this relationship, we are importing Risen Energy panels into Southern Africa, offering our customers access to top-tier solar solutions that deliver exceptional results.”
A standout product from Risen Energy is the Hyper-ion HJT solar panel, which combines heterojunction cells with a high-efficiency passivated emitter rear cell (PERC) structure, resulting in unparalleled efficiency and performance. With an impressive efficiency rating of up to 22.3%, these solar panels can generate more electricity from the same amount of sunlight compared to conventional panels.
Furthermore, the Hyper-ion HJT solar panel exhibits a high tolerance to shading, ensuring consistent electricity generation even in partially shaded areas, a common occurrence in urban environments. Its extended lifespan, with a degradation rate of only 0.25% per year, guarantees long-term efficiency and durability, surpassing many other solar panels available in the market.
Küpper highlighted the enduring benefits of Risen Energy’s solar panels, stating, “While the product warranty covers 12 years, the exceptional longevity and performance retention of the Hyper-ion HJT panels ensure that customers continue to reap the benefits of solar energy well beyond the warranty period.”
By importing Risen Energy’s cutting-edge solar panels into Southern Africa, SOLARWORLD Africa aims to accelerate the adoption of sustainable and reliable energy solutions across the region. This partnership marks a significant step towards achieving Africa’s goals of a sustainable and energy-efficient future. |
