Hanwha Japan Co., Ltd. (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Hee-Jae Chang, hereinafter "the Company") will begin providing a low-voltage repowering solution for low-voltage solar power generation operators.
By minimizing the burden on operators with zero initial costs and a monthly fee system, the manufacturer will lead the support for long-term stable operation of the power generation business. We will revitalize power plants into sustainable facilities that coexist with local communities and continue to create value into the future.
**■ Deploying approx. 1,400MW of solar power facilities nationwide, confronting the expiration of their warranties firsthand**
While renewable energy is increasingly becoming the main power source, low-voltage solar power facilities installed during the popularization of the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) system are successively facing the expiration of power conditioner (PCS) warranties, disaster compensation, and remote monitoring contracts. Systems sold by the Company from 2014 to 2025 amount to approximately 1,400MW, of which an equivalent of about 219MW is sequentially reaching the end of its warranty, and this target is expected to expand further.
The withdrawal of distributors and the burden of replacement costs have led to an increasing number of cases nationwide where operators face the risk of corrective recommendations from the government and the cancellation of FIT certification. Furthermore, due to legal revisions, cases where the non-installation or inadequacy of fences and nameplates are judged as legal violations are also increasing, requiring an even greater response to the maintenance and management of power plants.
The Company is committed to evolving from a panel manufacturer into a total energy solutions company. As part of this, we are consolidating the operations and aggregation functions of the Special Sales Business Department newly established in December 2025 and our group company Q.ENEST Holdings (hereinafter Q.ENEST). Believing it is our responsibility to build a system where operators can continue generating power with peace of mind while maintaining equipment health and coexisting with local communities, we have launched this solution.
**■ 4 Security Packages**
This solution provides not just simple equipment renewal, but end-to-end service from diagnosis to warranty and maintenance management.
**1. Manufacturer-led collaboration system (Diagnosis, Construction, Warranty)**
The Company serves as the contact point, with diagnosis and construction handled by manufacturer-designated contractors. O&M and disaster compensation are provided by Energy Solutions Inc. In addition to our products, other companies' systems are also supported*1. We support long-term stable operation looking ahead even after the FIT period ends (available nationwide excluding Hokkaido, Okinawa, and remote islands).
*1 Regarding application to other companies' systems, existing system warranties and disaster compensation may expire, so please check in advance.
**2. Renewal to a new PCS with zero initial cost and a monthly fee**
Installment payment in cooperation with Energy Solutions Inc...
