Shinsung ENG participated in theInternational Green Energy Expo 2021 held at EXCO, Daegu from April 28 (Wed) to30 (Fri) and introduced its high-output solar power module and zero energybuildings.

Founded in 1977, Shinsung ENG is theleading contributor to the ultra-precise, high-value-added technology-intensiveindustry. Shinsung ENG's products are manufactured in flawless air-conditioningtechnology, thoroughly removing foreign substances that can cause reduction inpower generation, and manufactures them directly in Korea based on continuousR&D and provides proven solar cells and solar modules through rigorousquality inspection.

At the Green Energy Expo exhibition hall,AVING News met Shinsung ENG’s Module Sales Team Leader Lee Min-young tointerview on the solar power module and zero energy building.

Q1. Company introduction

A. Lee: Shinsung ENG is thefirst-generation solar power company in Korea that celebrates its 44thanniversary this year. Recently, we have made aggressive investments in solarpower modules. As a result, in November 2020, the company built a new moduleline in Gimje, Jeollabuk-do to have a 1GW-class production line.

Q2. Product introduction and outstanding points

A. Lee: We are planning to launch thedouble-sided module with by the second half of this year. It is a module thatboasts 535~555W-class output by using M10 cell, and all of these products arehigh-power, high-efficiency models that show more than 20% efficiency. Inaddition, the 110kW and 250kW-class stream inverters that can be applied to theproduct are about to be released soon.

As high-durability eco-friendlycertification has recently been spread in Korea, Shinsung ENG has also prepareda highly durable eco-friendly certification module that meets the requirements.The highly durable, eco-friendly 455W product can be used in farms and forwater-type solar power. Especially, to prove the excellence of our products,the quality period is set to 12 years, and it boasts excellent durability thatguarantees 98% performance guarantee for one year and 85% for 25 years. Also, asalt mist test was conducted, and we obtained the highest cycle with thehighest grade.

Also, Solar Skin, which was jointlydeveloped with Kolon Global to go one step ahead of the mandatory zero-energybuilding, is a color BIPV (building integrated solar power system) that canreplace architectural exterior materials. Currently, there are three colors ondisplay: white, light gray, and terracotta. It can also be used in regularbuildings, and goes well with the exterior design. Last year, it installed a4.8kW solar skin on the test bed of the KIER, successfully delivering it.

Q3. Future plans

A. Lee: Most of the products released inKorea have improved the output by increasing the wafer size. But in the future,the method of improving output by increasing cell efficiency rather than amodule will be commercialized. In line with this, I will focus on releasinghigh-efficiency modules by participating in cell development with perovskitematerials.

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.
