Huawei participated in the InternationalGreen Energy Expo 2021 held at EXCO, Daegu from April 28 (Wed) to 30 (Fri) andintroduced its Ks-certified solar power inverter lineup.

Huawei is well-known as a leading Chinesecommunication equipment company, and it is also a global leader in the smartsolar power generation industry. Based on more than 30 years of experience inthe power electronics business, Huawei has developed and launched a solarinverter.

At the Green Energy Expo exhibition hall,AVING News met Huawei staff for an interview.

Q1. Product advantage

Our competitiveness is that we have ahigher number of MPPT than other companies' inverters with single capacity. The50kW and 60kW products are made with the know-how accumulated over manyexperiences, and are inverters that adopt the natural cooling method without afan.

Also, our inverter has been applying2-channel MPPT for a long time. As can be seen from this exhibition, allcompanies are currently using the same two-channel concept in one MPPT. Assuch, you can see that the company is at the forefront in terms of technology.

Q2. Product certification and performance

Products such as 50kW, 60kW, and 100kW,which are exhibited at this time, have already received KS certification inKorea, and KS certification of 185KTL products is in the process in line withthe low voltage standards of KEC regulation DC-1500V and AC1000V newly applied from January 1 of this year.Currently, we have completed the product testing, and only finishing work ofcoordinating with the Korea Energy Agency remains.

The company has offices in more than 170countries around the world, so it is difficult to export from Korea, but lastyear, we had run a 50㎿ project in Vietnam. Currently,we are focusing on the domestic market.

Q3. Warranty period

We provide a 5-year warranty, and evenafter the end of the 5-year period, the service can be extended to 15 to 20years. Partner companies offer technical service and there are staff in Huaweiheadquarters, so service can be provided within 24 hours.

Q4. Purpose of participation in the exhibition

Huawei had negative images from the public. But after people use our product, they are highly satisfied. Through this exhibition, we are hoping to change the company’s image positively.

Also, there are many people who stillrecognize our business field only as telecommunication, so we would also liketo let people know that we are in solar power business as well. I think we weresuccessful in introducing our inverter brand here. Visitors are also showing alot of interest in the product, and we are expecting to see actual results.

Q5. Future plans

The Korean market has already exceeded theGW and now achieves more than 4GW per year, and the market is expandingtremendously. Accordingly, we are also looking at the Korean market and isactively looking for investment. Our goal is to expand market share by focusingon the Korean market.

After releasing 170~185KTL and obtaining KScertification for the 1500V system, we are trying to focus on establishing aposition to lead the market. Also, we will do our best to put positive image onour brand Huawei.

Q6. What do you think is the advantage of solar power generation?

Solar power generation is one way to reducecarbon, which is a problem these days in generating energy.

The 18th International Green Energy Expo isKorea’s largest, one of Asia’s top 3 and the world’s top 10 new and renewableenergy exhibitions, and the only exhibition jointly organized by the four majorassociations. The exhibition covers △Solar power △ESS (energy storage system)& battery △Smart grid technology △Wind power and △New and renewable energy.This exhibition is hosted by Daegu Metropolitan City and Gyeongsangbuk-do andorganized by EXCO, KNREA, KOPIA, KWEIA, and KHIA.
