BenQ Solar has been actively developing the Japanese solar market. Besides gaining JET certification, in order to fulfill specific local needs in Japan, BenQ solar has not only provided a small-sized high-efficiency solar module (GreenTriplex PM200M00) tailored to residential users, but also offered an all-black design high-efficiency solar module (GreenTriplex PM250M00) and an anti-salt mist corrosion solar module (EcoDuo PM240P00) for the commercial rooftop and utility market.
JET is an officially authorized laboratory institution in Japan and has been in charge of performing factory inspection and product testing for electronic products. It takes much time and is difficult to acquire JET certification due to the greater concern of Japanese consumers about electronic product safety and the huge demands in the Japanese domestic market. BenQ Solar's obtaining JET's solar module certification denotes BenQ Solar's products meet the highest standard of safety and are equipped with the capability to respond to world trends. In July, Japan is going to implement a new Feed-in-Tariff policy for renewable energy. The subsidies for renewable energy will be at higher rates than the subsidies in the other countries, and for BenQ Solar, which makes Japan one of the promising markets in Asia-Pacific area.
For Japanese residential user preferences for lightweight and rooftop design, BenQ Solar provides a flexible small-sized solar module (GreenTriplex PM200M00) which matches building rooftop sizes in order to be designed for optimized solar power systems and is also convenient for installation and maintenance. Considering Japan is surrounded by sea, BenQ Solar also provides a EcoDuo PM240P00 solar module which has passed the salt mist corrosion tests of IEC 61701. The module is able to maintain high-efficiency power output for even large solar power plants located in coastal regions. For Japanese who regard architecture as an aesthetic pursuit, BenQ Solar has customized an all-black high-efficiency solar module (GreenTriplex PM250M00) with elegant appearance, three bus-bar design, and higher efficiency power output.
BenQ Solar entered the Japanese solar market in 2009 and has cooperated with M.Setek, a leading polysilicon provider in Japan, and jointly invested in AUO SunPower and SunPower, an American leading solar cell company. With high-quality materials and cells, BenQ Solar's modules are able to maximize power conversion efficiency. Our vertically integrated solar value chain altogether better provides customers with world-class products and technologies.
BenQ Solar has successfully accomplished many large solar power plants projects in Europe, Asia and Africa. After obtaining JET certification, BenQ Solar will cooperate with more partners to provide Japanese customers with reliable, high-efficiency and eco-friendly solar products, and is continuing to expand its solar business in the Asian market.
