The annual Japan Photovoltaic Exhibition (PV EXPO 2020) opened on February 26, 2020, at the Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo, Japan, and ran for three days. Since entering the Japanese market in 2015, Talesun Solar has built up a substantial network of partners in Japan, making the exhibition an indispensable part of its annual calendar—a longstanding commitment to its Japanese customers. This time, Talesun was once again present as scheduled.

Recently, the COVID‑19 situation in Japan has been evolving rapidly. To safeguard the health and safety of our customers, company employees, and exhibition visitors, Talesun has been distributing gloves and masks at our booth. Though the pandemic is temporary, while the virus may be relentless, humanity remains compassionate. We look forward to the day when this crisis ends, to the warmth of spring and blooming flowers, and to the pleasure of meeting you once again at Mount Fuji. We sincerely thank our customers for their trust in Talesun and the Japanese team for their dedicated efforts.

This exhibition showcases three high-efficiency modules tailored for the Japanese market.

Half-cell monocrystalline PERC bifacial double-glass module

P-type PERC bifacial double-glass modules feature a frameless design that interrupts electrical pathways, effectively resolving the PID issue. Glass replaces the conventional backsheet, blocking moisture ingress and preventing snail‑track formation while enhancing resistance to hidden cracks. They also exhibit excellent mechanical performance, making them well suited for harsh environments such as coastal areas and bodies of water, as well as regions with strong reflected light from surrounding structures and abundant diffuse illumination—such as high‑latitude and snow‑prone areas. This configuration maximizes bifacial power generation, potentially boosting the overall system’s energy yield by up to 25%.

Half-cell monocrystalline PERC transparent-backsheet module

Employing half-cell technology, it delivers lower internal resistance losses and significantly reduces the risk of hot spots. Its proprietary circuit design markedly lowers hotspot temperatures, minimizes power loss, and boosts module output. With a high‑grade waterproof rating, it effectively withstands harsh conditions, making it the optimal solution for demanding environments. Featuring an ultra‑strong frame, it is certified to endure wind loads of 2,400 Pa and snow loads of 5,400 Pa. It has also passed a hail‑impact test using 25‑mm‑diameter ice pellets at 82 km/h, ensuring reliable performance in extreme climates.

Half-cell monocrystalline PERC module

Compared with conventional modules, Talesun monocrystalline half-cell PERC modules deliver outstanding outdoor power generation, boosting output by more than 2% while reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) by 3%. Combining high power and cost-effectiveness, they maximize system capacity, minimize land use, and make optimal use of available space, thereby maximizing economic returns. With superior quality and reliability—backed by double the IEC test standards—they offer higher power output, improved conversion efficiency, and lower balance-of-system (BOS) costs. For grid‑parity solar projects, Talesun monocrystalline half-cell PERC modules are the clear choice.

21.6 MW ground-mounted solar power plant in Aki Takada, Japan

Talesun 21.6 MW photovoltaic project in Aki Takada City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan, is currently under intensive construction. The entire site covers approximately 107,536 square meters, with a total projected investment of 8.5 billion Japanese yen. Throughout the project’s development, Talesun team has provided meticulous and comprehensive services—ranging from site surveys and module selection to on‑site installation and construction—demonstrating the team’s reliability and professionalism, which have earned unanimous praise from the client. The Aki Takada solar plant is expected to achieve full grid connection and begin commercial operation in April 2021.

As an island nation with limited domestic reserves of conventional energy resources, Japan places great emphasis on the development and utilization of renewable energy, with particular focus on the photovoltaic sector. The country’s standards for product quality and efficiency are significantly higher than those in many other markets. Since entering the Japanese market in 2015, Talesun Photovoltaic has been engaged in power‑plant development and module sales. It currently maintains branch offices in Tokyo and Fukuoka, supported by a dedicated sales team, technical expertise, and a comprehensive after‑sales service network, earning widespread recognition from Japanese customers. Today, Talesun Photovoltaic develops approximately 100 MW of solar projects and sells around 100 MW of modules annually in Japan, with cumulative annual participation in PV‑power‑plant construction exceeding 200 MW.

Zhongli is actively responding to the epidemic.

Zhongli Group (stock code 002309), while ensuring comprehensive employee protection upon resuming operations, is fully committed to supporting the fight against the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic. Remaining true to its original mission, the company earnestly fulfills its social responsibilities as a listed enterprise and contributes to the battle against the pandemic. Through the Changshu City Charity Foundation, it has donated RMB 2.7 million to high‑risk areas such as Huangshi in Hubei Province, helping to contain the spread of the virus. At all times, regardless of circumstances, we stand firmly with everyone.

The future will be better.

Today, China is weathering the storms of growth. As the ancient poem goes, “Let no sound of rain beating through the trees trouble me; why not chant and stroll at my leisure?” No matter what trials may come, they cannot halt the Chinese people’s march toward a better life. No winter lasts forever, and no spring fails to arrive. Likewise, after two decades of development, the photovoltaic industry has expanded from the desolate Gobi deserts of Northwest China to countless households. Its competitiveness in the energy market has grown markedly, and in many countries around the world, solar power now achieves grid parity—or even cheaper-than‑grid prices. As a clean energy source, photovoltaics has secured a strategic position in the future national development plans of numerous nations.

This year also marks the 10th anniversary of Talesun Photovoltaic. Currently, Talesun Photovoltaic boasts an 8 GW module production capacity and a 7 GW cell production capacity, and it remains committed to providing customers with the latest, most reliable products. Talesun firmly believes that the future of photovoltaics will be even brighter, and the company will dedicate itself wholeheartedly to creating a better environment for humanity.
