China-based GCL Exhibits at Renewable Energy Asia 2016
The four-day Renewable Energy Asia 2016 officially kicked off in Bangkok on June 1. On the first day of the event, Minister of Energy Thailand, General Anantaporn Kanjanarat, and his delegation visited the booth of GCL System Integration Technology Co. Ltd, and engaged in a discussion with GCL vice president Mr. Hu Huiming. Anantaporn praised GCL for its efforts in offering clean energy over the last several decades, and expressed his willingness to aggressively support GCL's cooperative efforts in Thailand's clean energy sector.
Mr. Hu Huiming also expressed the company's sincere intentions in making contribution to Thailand's solar energy development, and further revealed that the company is setting up a local team in Thailand and its plan to invest in the country's manufacturing sector. In addition, the company emphasized the interest in partnering up with Thai parties on the development and utilization of clean energy.
GCL brought its flagship products, including the highly-efficient solar modules and system packages, to Thailand. GCL patented Sapphire high-density module features a power output exceeding 350W and a module efficiency of 17.3%. Sapphire's technology provides a power output 11% higher than standard modules with the same cells and reduces the gap between module efficiency and cell efficiency from 2% to 0.3%.
GCL has, since inception, valued its growth outside of its home market and has achieved several growth and expansion breakthroughs. Mr. Hu said at the exhibition that GCL has received high recognition for its technology, brand and products. The company expects to increase its sales significantly from 2015 as it expands distribution channels globally, especially in the US, Southeast Asia, Australia, Japan, Africa, South America and other key markets.
