SY Wins 3.7MW Rooftop Solar Power Construction Contract with Hansol Technics

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] Comprehensive building materials specialist company SY announced on the 10th that it has signed a contract for a 3.7MW-class rooftop solar power construction project with Hansol Technics.

The company emphasized that this rooftop solar project applies the latest technology through collaboration between a solar module manufacturer and a roofing material manufacturer. Using SY's ceramic-coated Solar Roof and Hansol Technics' bifacial power generation modules, it is expected to sustain more than 10% higher efficiency compared to existing systems.

This project is a large-scale rooftop solar power construction involving approximately 42,600㎡ (about 13,000 pyeong) of rooftop area at Hansol Paper's Sintanjin and Janghang factories, with about 10,000 solar modules installed. The annual power generation is 4.8 million kWh, enough to supply 14,000 average households. The eco-friendly solar power generation is also expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to 1.8 million pine trees.

A company official said, "This project is the first case applying SY's ceramic Hyperville Solar Roof," adding, "The ceramic Hyperville steel sheet resists surface contamination and infrared rays, resulting in a long product lifespan and excellent light reflection effects." He further emphasized, "It is an optimized material for bifacial power generation modules that generate additional power through reflected light from the roofing material."

The ceramic Hyperville steel sheet is a product developed in-house by SY. SY has an annual production capacity of 400,000 tons of color steel sheets across five CCL (Continuous Color Coating Line) lines: two in Korea, two in Vietnam, and one in Cambodia. In Vietnam, SY has been registered as a supplier to global home appliance companies with local production plants and is known to supply color steel sheets for home appliances.

The company explained that through continuous in-house research and development (R&D), it has developed technology to shorten the process, enabling the sale of ceramic-coated color steel sheets, Hyperville, at the same price as general steel sheets. Generally, high-function ceramic-coated color steel sheets require additional processes for ceramic coating.

A company representative stated, "Although commercial solar power contracts are for 20 years, the basic lifespan of modules can be up to 50 years, so the durability of roofing materials is important for rooftop solar power." He added, "Using special materials such as ceramic Hyperville roofing materials and bifacial power generation modules will help expand rooftop solar power projects for factories, including those participating in the RE100 campaign by large corporations."

Meanwhile, SY is advancing its business centered on Hyperville color steel sheets and rooftop solar power by continuously launching fire-resistant sandwich panel products requiring advanced technology, such as 2-hour fire-resistant cleanroom panels and 30-minute fire-resistant roofing materials.
