NAGANO, Japan, April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

After four months installation and test, the first industrial off-grid solar PV

project equipped with MWT light and flexible panels in Japan was taken into

operation and started power generation. With help of the attached power storage

system, this rooftop PV plant will provide the factory beneath with clean

electricity for self-utilization.

"We realized a completely customized project in the process from the

preliminary product design to later onsite installation. The factory's colored

steel tile roof with big gap and low-load bearing, due to the unconventional

project requirements, we established a special R&D team right away and provided

the customer a scheme with mature products and design in short time which

proved a successful plan in following procedure." Said by Dr. Shiliang Wu,

Technical General Manager of Sunport Power. "To fulfill the actual installation

conditions such as low-load bearing of the roof and big gap resulted less mount

points, we decided to use S1, a small-sized light and flexible PV panel, with

back glue application which made the installation easier and cost saving." Dr.

Wu followed.

The S1 panels which utilized on this rooftop are very unique PV module products

developed by Sunport Power. With particular design refer to customer's large

gap on roof, the S1 panels supplied were in a long and narrow shape which can

be inlaid in corrugated steel tile with back glue, and this not only saved

support cost, but also made the installation more stable and reliable. And

based on metal wrap through (MWT) technology, no bus-bar and welding strip

exists on the front side of the panels. Attached special organic flexible

polymer materials as encapsulation base and with particularly designed 2D

encapsulation technology, the panel reduced thickness and weight (1.4mm only

and 1.3 kg per unit) greatly and becomes more flexible. Additionally, because

free of the welding strips by MWT technology, the S1 panel completely

eliminates usage of heavy metal including lead which makes the product

environmentally friendly.

"We have established a very good partnership with Sunport Power. They showed

impressive working efficiency in the whole process from receiving our request

to final installation. They also did great job in the panel production and

delivery, especially in the difficult pandemic time of last year. We are very

satisfied with their products and service." Said by Mr. Maruyama, the general

manager of the rooftop solar park.

"Differentiation is the foundation for the development of Sunport Power. Since

the establishment, Sunport Power is devoted into research and development of

differentiated technology, the MWT technology, to promote industry change with

technology, and insist on providing "exclusive" products and service for our

customers." Said by Dr. Fengming, Zhang, founder and president of Sunport

Power.

The completion and operation of this rooftop solar PV project in Japan not only

highlighted the flexibility and resilience of the S1 PV panel, but also

reflected the advantage of MWT based panel in deep customization in which to

provide customers best solutions with higher efficiency and more applicable

products according to practical application scenarios.
