Risen Energy to supply PV modules to Sinopec's hydrogen demonstration project

The 361 MW project, once completed, is expected to be one of the world's largest PV-based hydrogen production facilities, and is regarded as a breakthrough in promoting the transformation of China's big traditional energy producers.

Given the bid's requirement for PV modules with a power output of at least 650 W, the four companies that produce 210 mm modules or both 210 mm and 182 mm modules were the only ones considered. Risen Energy ranks first by virtue of its 210 mm solar modules, reflecting the increasing popularity of high-power modules amongst customers as well as the dominance of the 210 mm module in the market.

"Large-size PV modules are designed to increase power output and efficiency as a way to reduce the cost and maximise the effectiveness of PV products, delivering additional power generation benefits to customers," an executive at Risen Energy recently said, when explaining the firm's strategy. The selection by Sinopec is a testament to the validity of the company's proactive mindset that focuses on large-size modules.

Sinopec's participation in the building of the world's largest PV-based green hydrogen production project with a designed annual output of 20 000 t demonstrates the firm's ongoing commitment to implementing its green, low-carbon development strategy while supporting the country's carbon peak and neutrality targets. Risen Energy plans to broaden the application of clean energy by collaborating with Sinopec to explore new approaches to PV-based hydrogen production through the utilisation of its integrated competence in products and technologies.
