A SolarSpace, a Chinese manufacturer of photovoltaic cells and modules, is expanding its operations and announced its arrival on the Brazilian market. Recognized for technological innovation and high-efficiency products, the company, which is Top 3 in the global cell market according to InfoLink, it aims to meet the growing demand for clean and renewable energy in the country. 

With a combination of global expertise and adaptation to local needs, the company intends to establish strategic partnerships and contribute significantly to the advancement of solar.

According to a José Fernando Mendes, regional sales director for Latin America at the company, SolarSpace is concentrating its investments in the region due to the significant growth of the Brazilian photovoltaic sector, which already represents the third largest market in the world of solar energy last year, behind China and the United States. 

Over 60 GW in photovoltaic equipment supplied, the company wants to make modules with PERC and TOPCon technologies available to partner distributors and large projects, with certifications “Top performer” 2024 by Kiwa PVEL, “2024 Overall Highest Achiever” from RETC, “Five-Star Rating” from PV Magazine, among others, with competitive commercial conditions.

With a solid engineering structure, supply chain, support and after-sales, Ea ESG strategy already implemented in the organization, SolarSpace wants to ensure personalized, reliable and agile service to customers.

SolarSpace Portfolio

Among the company's highlights is the Lumina II module family, developed with TOPCon N-Type technology, which provides greater cell conversion efficiency, greater generation capacity in low light conditions and better temperature coefficient, for example.

The company's line has less than 1% degradation in the first year and 0,4% from the second year onwards, 15 years of product warranty and 30 years of linear power.
