At 2012 PV Expo Japan, GCL-Poly Energy, a supplier of polysilicon and wafer products, has launched its first residential rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system.
The PV system is ideal for a classic flat concrete rooftop in Japan. It comprises a reliable inverter, high-efficiency crystalline silicon PV modules and matching rack-mount components. GCL-Poly’s renewable energy system also features DC Maximizer solutions from Tigo Energy that help enhance the system’s performance with real time maximum power point tracking (MPPT) and continuous monitoring.
GCL-Poly continues to increase the crystalline silicon wafers’ quality and this creates a strong base to further enhance the efficiency of the PV modules. The installation of the high-efficiency PV modules enables GCL-Poly’s new residential solar system to generate a large amount of power in metropolitan rooftops, where the space is limited. Additionally, the integration of state-of-the-art electronics will reduce the energy loss, which is caused by shades from adjacent buildings. Easy installation is another advantage of the PV system. Thus, GCL-Poly’s rooftop solar system will have a broader application in the residential sector.
GCL-Poly specializes in polysilicon and wafer production as well as in solar farm development and solar system Integration. The company intends to offer advanced integrated PV devices to further improve the performance of the products at system level and to decrease system cost via system standardization and economy of scale.
