It is worth mentioning that Suntech and an old Polish energy company reached a cooperation agreement on the spot. According to the content of the agreement, the two sides are expected to reach a scale of 200 MW in 2024 during cooperation.
In 2022, Poland’s installed PV capacity already reached 4.9GW, making Poland the third largest solar PV market in Europe. According to a study published by the Polish Institute for Renewable Energy (IEO), Poland will more than double its installed PV capacity between 2023 and the end of 2025. By 2025, the cumulative installed PV capacity in Poland will reach 26.8GW. The company, founded in 1990, is one of the most dynamic gas companies in Poland. It’s engaged in developing the energy and industrial building markets, centered on continuous development, innovation and reliable teams. The signing of this partnership is not only a highlight of the ENEX exhibition in Poland but also undoubtedly a symbol of the strong alliance of two established companies.
The Polish PV market is dominated by distributed microgrids. As of August 2022, 1,131,973 household PV microgrid systems with an installed capacity of less than 50kW had been installed in Poland, making Poland the leading one in growth rate in Europe. At the end of 2021, distributed PV accounted for 74.8% of the total installed PV capacity in Poland, and industrial-scale PV accounted for 25.2%. In response to this market condition, Suntech has provided D66/Pmh+ modules suitable for industrial power station projects and C54/Nshkm+ and C72/Nsh+ modules suitable for distributed PV. D66/Pmh+ glass-glass modules adopt 210mm wafers and multi busbars with high-density encapsulation technology, which greatly increase the power output per unit area of the module in addition to withstanding a dynamic 2400pa wind pressure load and a static 5400pa snow load at maximum. The modules come with a 15-year warranty in the European market. It cooperated with Suntech last year on 28MW D66/Pmh+ modules and was impressed by Suntech’s delivery, installation and module quality, which is believed to be an important factor for them choosing the modules again. The two types of modules suitable for distributed PV utilize the latest N-type TOPCon cell technology with a cell efficiency of over 25.6%, a maximum power output of 585W, and a maximum conversion efficiency of 22.6%, and adopt high-efficiency bifacial technology. The energy production gain of bifacial technology increases with the light received on the rear side, up to 25%, which significantly reduces the products’ life-cycle cost measure (LCOE). At the same time, the TOPCon module’s first-year attenuation rate stands at 1% and its annual attenuation rate is 0.4%, lower than the first-year and annual attenuation rates of conventional modules, increasing the revenue of clients for electricity generation. Last year, according to the latest study by the Polish Academy of Sciences, two rooftop PV systems supplied by Suntech in a small town in southwestern Germany saw their power generation drop by 1.9% and 2.9% respectively over the entire 16-year operation period, far better than the 25-year warranty commitment of less than 20% attenuation.
Suntech has focused on overseas PV markets for many years and has earned a good reputation from clients. This cooperation demonstrates overseas clients’ trust in Suntech and recognition of high-quality modules. It is believed that in the future, the two sides will continue to work hand in hand to develop, deepen cooperation and make greater contributions to the development of renewable energy in Poland and Europe.
