Good News! ZKFN Successfully Signed Shanghai Metro Group Flexible PV Power Station Project
Recently, Shandong ZKFN Solar Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "ZKFN SOLAR") with its ultra-strong flexible PV modules, stood out in the industry-wide product technology selection with outstanding performance, successfully winning the bid and signing the Shanghai Metro Group station flexible PV power station project.
National-Level Technical Endorsement, Hardcore Strength Escort
ZKFN SOLAR's core technology originates from the "National Natural Science Second Prize" project of the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Through self-developed flexible thin-film cell encapsulation technology, the team successfully launched the industry's first hail-resistant, micro-crack-free flexible lightweight crystalline silicon module.
Breaking Load Bottlenecks, Awakening Sleeping Roofs
Shanghai Metro is a pioneer in practicing China's "Dual Carbon" strategy. It is one of the earliest metro groups to build distributed PV power stations to achieve energy saving and carbon reduction, and has been praised by China's diplomatic delegation for its outstanding benefits.
▲ Sparsely installed traditional PV modules on the roof of Shanghai Metro Fujin Road Parking and Inspection Depot
Due to the large number of stations in the Metro Group, the roof load-bearing capacity is insufficient. Initially, in order to install PV, under the premise of ensuring safety and not collapsing the roof, only a small number of traditional PV modules could be installed in an extremely sparse manner, resulting in a large amount of roof space being idle. For example, traditional PV modules were sparsely installed on the Fujin Road Parking and Inspection Depot, and the effective utilization rate of the roof was less than 20%.
Nowadays, in order to further save energy and reduce emissions, Shanghai Metro tries to utilize all roof resources for the installation of distributed PV power stations. In the gaps between the roofs sparsely installed with traditional PV modules, extremely lightweight flexible PV modules are installed.
Strict Standard Screening, ZKFN SOLAR Stands Out
Shanghai Metro, as the world's largest passenger transit metro group, has extremely demanding requirements for the safety and reliability of products. This time, Shanghai Metro plans to install flexible PV power stations at stations such as Fujin Road, Chentai Road, and Pujiang Line Base. It requires that the flexible modules must not have any micro-cracks exceeding industry standards in EL tests upon arrival, after installation, and after 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, and 100% infrared testing must show no hot spots.
Shanghai Metro Group conducted an industry-wide product technology selection, and ZKFN SOLAR stood out with its excellent product performance.
The successful signing of this project not only marks that ZKFN SOLAR's product technology and quality competitiveness have been absolutely recognized by the industry but is also a joint effort and strong alliance between the two parties to actively respond to national strategic goals.
ZKFN SOLAR will dedicate itself to scientific and technological innovation to empower high-quality development, actively practice the green energy development path, and contribute to optimizing the energy industry structure and assisting the country in achieving its "Dual Carbon" goals.
Lightweight is where we begin, Reliability is what we deliver!
