GBP Wins First Order in Europe for Compatible Products for Old Model Solar Panels ~Accelerating overseas expansion as a leading manufacturer of compatible products for old model panels~

GBP Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as 'GBP'), a comprehensive renewable energy solutions development company, has secured its first order in Europe for its compatible products for old model solar panels. Leveraging this achievement, GBP will continue to contribute to the long-term stable operation of existing solar power plants worldwide as a leading manufacturer of compatible products for old model panels.

<Even if panels degrade, they cannot be replaced with new ones - a growing concern for power plant owners in Europe>

When panels in existing power plants age and degrade, many power producers first consider replacing them with new panels. However, new panels often differ in size and mounting hole positions from existing ones, requiring replacement of each mounting frame and incurring significant costs.

It is common in the product cycle for solar panels that old models are sequentially discontinued, and power plants that have been operating for many years often face the situation where 'the same model is no longer manufactured.' In such cases, the effective solution is compatible products for old models that can replace only the panels while utilizing the existing mounting frames. However, since this assumes individual support for each model, our research indicates that the number of manufacturers capable of supplying these is limited, and it remains an option that many power producers are not yet well aware of.

<Active outreach and sales activities in the European market lead to the first order>

GBP has a cumulative track record of supplying over 420,000 units of compatible products for old model solar panels domestically, and is promoting overseas expansion by leveraging this supply capacity and technical expertise. For the European market, we have been engaged in product outreach and sales activities to deliver the solution of compatible products for old model panels to power producers.

As a result of these efforts, in February 2026, we received an order for 300 units of 260W compatible products for old model panels from a French power producer, aimed at restoring the power generation capacity of their existing solar power plant. This first European order for GBP is a testament to the recognition of the achievements and technical capabilities accumulated domestically in the overseas market, and it will further accelerate our global expansion.

<Expanding demand for compatible products for old model panels - accelerating overseas expansion starting with the first European order>

Regions with many power plants that have been in operation for many years inevitably face the challenge of replacing old model panels. This challenge is not confined to Japan but is common worldwide, and as awareness of compatible products for old model panels as a solution grows, the demand for their supply is expected to expand further in the future.

Starting with this first European order, GBP will accelerate its expansion into overseas markets as a leading manufacturer of compatible products for old model panels. Compatible products for old model panels can be ordered from our EC site "GBP Direct" for domestic customers and "GBP Direct" for overseas customers. We will respond to the long-term stable operation of existing solar power plants worldwide with GBP's technology and supply capability.
