GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd. (GCLSI) successfully gained French 
carbon footprint certification recently, for its 182 series and 210 series of 
high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) modules. To date, GCLSI's full series of 
products have obtained the French carbon footprint certificate, bolstering a 
richer product ecosystem in the French market.

The French carbon footprint certification provided by Certisolis, a third-party 
organization appointed through the French Energy Regulatory Commission, is the 
basis for PV projects with products over 100kWp to enter the French market.

The maximum power of GCLSI's certified products has reached 675W, which covers 
all application scenarios such as residential level, commercial and industrial 
(C&I) level and at utility-scale. This product adopts advanced low-carbon 
manufacturing technologies to provide the full lifecycle of clean energy, 
applying multi-busbar (MBB), non-destructive cutting, and half-cell 
technologies to enable a comprehensive upgrade of module performance. GCLSI 
provides long-term, highly efficient and stable green benefits for its 
customers' decarbonization process.

"Our vision is to 'bring green power to life' with a longstanding commitment to 
better serve the client, and create more environmentally-friendly, 
energy-saving products for the global market to contribute to the goal of zero 
carbon emissions," said Thomas Kun Zhang, Executive President of GCLSI. "The 
achievement of the French carbon footprint certification, as well as matching 
the demand for green energy in the French market, has strengthened our 
confidence to make more positive contributions to sustainability issues in the 
future," Zhang added."

At the end of 2017, GCLSI started the French carbon footprint certification 
project for the first time and obtained the first certification for the whole 
industrial chain of polycrystalline products in 2019, with product sales 
entering the French market. In 2020, the first monocrystalline product 
certificate was obtained, then achieved carbon footprint certification for the 
182 and 210 whole series products at the end of July 2022.

The French carbon footprint certification has proven GCLSI's market advantages 
in low-carbon products, especially against the backdrop of peak carbon and 
carbon neutrality goals. At the same time, it builds a solid foundation for 
GCLSI to obtain carbon emission certification in China and promote the carbon 
footprint certification project in Europe.
