REC Corp., a European supplier of solar panels worldwide, will present its high-quality product portfolio at PV EXPO in Tokyo from February 26-28 at Booth
E36-18.
Executives and regional representatives will be on hand at Japan’s largest solar exhibition to discuss their insights and expectations on the important Japanese market.
REC will also be showcasing a bi-facial solar panel concept study. By using the diffuse and reflected light at the rear side of a bi-facial solar panel, the power output can be increased compared to a conventional mono facial solar panel. Bi-facial solar panels are interesting in combination with highly reflective roof membranes, which features various design and application options.
According to REC, Japan is one of the key markets for the company, where high-quality products are greatly appreciated.
In 2014, REC expects 25% of REC solar panels to be shipped to Japan, and it sees significant further growth potential, especially in the commercial segment.
Japan’s cumulative installed solar capacity in 2013 surpassed 14 GW, with 75% of new capacities being non-residential systems. For 2014 and 2015, REC forecasts a stabilizing growth of 9 to 10 GW of additional solar capacity each year. The commercial segment with system sizes of 10 to 1,000 kW continues to be the main segment of the solar market, growing from between 3 to 4 GW in 2013 to between 4 to 5 GW in 2014.
