Xing Sheng Energy Debuts at the Tokyo Smart Energy Week: Leading New Trends in Building Photovoltaics

On February 19, 2025, the Tokyo International Smart Energy Week kicked off at the Tokyo Big Sight Exhibition Center. As the most influential renewable energy event in Asia, this year’s exhibition attracted over 1,600 companies from around the world, covering the entire industry chain, including hydrogen energy, photovoltaics, energy storage, and smart grids. Beijing Xing Sheng Energy Co., Ltd. showcased multiple innovative products and participated in an interview with CCTV2, highlighting China’s technological breakthroughs and market insights in the renewable energy sector.

Exhibition Highlights: Lightweight Flexible Modules Capture Attention

At the Xing Sheng Energy booth, a lightweight flexible module measuring just 2.7mm in thickness and weighing 3.3kg/m² drew significant interest from attendees. This product utilizes a polymer composite material base and has a bend radius of up to 0.5m, making it ideal for curved roofs, carports, and mobile energy applications. Equipped with N-TOPCON cells, the module has been certified by TÜV, achieving a maximum conversion efficiency of 23.5%. Its front membrane boasts a light transmittance of 91%, exceeding comparable products, allowing for unobstructed photovoltaic conversion. With exceptional UV resistance, it ensures lasting power generation efficiency for 25 years. The enhanced front plate process guarantees a modulus of 1300MPa, increasing the overall strength of the module and reducing the risk of micro-cracks, effectively withstanding hail impacts.

Engineers demonstrated the “zero penetration” installation method for the lightweight flexible module: using structural adhesive for direct application, eliminating damage to the building’s waterproof layer and improving construction efficiency by 50%. A representative from the Japan Architectural Association remarked, “This design breaks the traditional weight limitations of photovoltaics on rooftops, paving the way for distributed solar energy.” During the event, several Japanese photovoltaic developers engaged in discussions with Xing Sheng Energy, with buyers expressing high praise for the company’s products.

Industry Insights: Energy Storage Market Set for Explosive Growth

Amid the accelerating global energy transition, energy storage technology is becoming a crucial support. According to BNEF data, global energy storage installations are expected to reach 221GWh by 2025, a 36% increase from the previous year. The Japanese government has set a goal of 108GW of solar capacity by 2030 and aims to increase the proportion of energy storage systems to 40%. At the concurrent Smart Grid Forum, experts noted that with renewable energy surpassing 35% of the energy mix, Japan needs to build a diverse system of “solar + storage + hydrogen” to ensure grid stability. Notably, Xing Sheng Energy is set to establish a Japan office in December 2024, marking an important milestone in its global expansion strategy.

Xing Sheng’s Strategy: A Dual Approach of Technology and Service to Deepen Market Penetration in Japan

Xing Sheng Energy adheres to its mission of “using sustainable energy to create a better life,” while maintaining a commitment to quality and performance standards. Its lightweight flexible modules meet multiple TÜV Süd testing requirements, including hail tests (25mm hailstones at 23m/s), flammability/fire tests, load tests, UV/moisture leakage tests, and durability tests such as TC200/DH1000 and HF (wet-freezing tests). In an interview with CCTV, Chairman Gu Yu emphasized, “Xing Sheng Energy is dedicated to providing customers with the highest quality photovoltaic energy solutions to promote global renewable energy development. We aim not only to bring Chinese technology but also to offer comprehensive lifecycle services through our localized teams.”

Conclusion: Driving Technology for a Carbon-Free Future

From the spotlight of the Tokyo exhibition to the focus of CCTV’s cameras, Xing Sheng Energy is deeply engaging in the international market with innovative products and localized services. Amid the dual carbon goals and the wave of global energy transformation, Chinese renewable energy companies are evolving from followers to rule-makers. Looking ahead, Xing Sheng Energy will continue to invest in research and development, providing global customers with safer, more efficient, and intelligent “integrated solar storage and charging” solutions to help society accelerate its transition to a carbon-free era.
