The Fifth Century Photovoltaic Conference, co-organized by Century New Energy 
Network and Photovoltaic Brand Lab (PVBL), was recently held online. At the 
conference, the PVBL Annual Photovoltaic Brand Rankings List, which is 
generally recognized across the industry as the benchmark of the Chinese 
photovoltaic market, was announced. Risen Energy garnered four awards including 
being named as one of the Global Top Photovoltaic Brands and receiving the 
Technological Innovation Award. The other two awards include ranking fifth 
among the Top Ten Module Brands and ninth among the Top Ten Power Station 
Investor Brands. 

Risen Energy has been included in the list of the Top Ten Module Brands for 
several consecutive years. Coming in fifth this year fully demonstrates the 
degree to which the firm is among China's top performers in terms of 
comprehensive strength. Listed as an A-share on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and 
a leader among the world's publicly traded makers of photovoltaic equipment, 
Risen Energy has moved beyond its preeminent position in the domestic market to 
create a significant presence worldwide, all while maintaining an ability to 
have keen insight into the market. The company has always been committed to the 
research and development of low-cost, high-efficiency products, resulting in 
the ownership of a number of independent IP technologies alongside its many 
technical achievements.

The firm's many years of R&D and innovation efforts have yielded many useful 
technologies, among them the heterojunction with intrinsic thin-layer (HIT) 
module, the PERC module, the TOPCON cell and the first large-size wafer 
deploying the 210 mm 50-cell module. This is on top of a number of new module 
technologies, namely, half-cells, patchwork patterns, bifacial shingle cells, 
ultra-thin double-sided glass and highly reflective back panels. Risen Energy 
is not only the world's first photovoltaic manufacturer to have successfully 
produced 500W high-efficiency modules, they are also the first to receive an 
order for these modules and have shipped the world's first batch. Despite the 
challenges presented by COVID-19, the highly demanded initial batch was shipped 
on the eve of this year's May Day holiday in China, saving a good week that 
would have been lost due to the length of the holiday. 

In addition to the outstanding achievements in technology-driven research and 
development, Risen Energy has been aggressively engaged in the construction and 
management of power stations. The company has now developed and operates a 
significant number of photovoltaic power stations in multiple countries and 
regions targeted by the Chinese government's One Belt, One Road initiative, 
including Australia, India, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nepal and Vietnam. 

Leon Chuang, the global marketing director at Risen Energy, said, "The winning 
of the four awards represents not only high recognition from the industry, but 
also serves as an encouragement to our future development. Risen Energy will 
keep improving its technological prowess in R&D, enhancing its brand influence, 
and collaborating with industry partners to drive the photovoltaic industry's 
efforts in developing high-efficiency products."
