Wu Di, Chief Quality Officer, Hanergy Thin Film Power Group stated, “Acquiring the group certification essentially is the testimony of the company’s efforts to meet the international standards with finesse and fervor. As a multinational clean energy company and the global leader in thin-film solar power generation, Hanergy has always regarded product quality prodigious importance. We focus on quality, reliability, durability and standardization of products.”
TÜV SÜD is closely aligned with several international chambers of commerce and trade development organizations in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, providing a clearer understanding of market trade and import requirements.

ISO 14001 is the code for Environmental Management System Certification. ISO 45001 is the new standard for Occupational Health and Safety released in 2018.
Hanergy’s solar cells set the world record for conversion efficiency several times, with the newest one being 29.1%. It launched and upgraded handful of consumer products in 2018, including Humbrella, solar-powered umbrella; SolarTank, solar backpack; HanPower, solar power bank, retaining its leading position in mobile energy sector. Subsequently, with the debut of HanTile in April and HanWall in September, Hanergy upped-the-ante in global building-integrated PV segment.
Hanergy recently grabbed the first rank for itself in solar energy sector, while taking up an overall 78th rank (Up from 91st rank last year) among China’s TOP500 Most Valuable Listed Companies released by 21 Data News Laboratories. Lately, the company inked strategic agreements with partners from Australia, Japan, Vietnam, Switzerland, Paraguay, Chile, Oman, Egypt, and so on, marking its entry in the global market. Collaborating with Bollore Group, Boeing Group, TAM and China’s local express delivery companies, Hanergy reached further down for a wider application of thin-film solar power technologies. Its solar modules was chosen by NASA for international space station testing, to evaluate Alta’s technology for future NASA low-Earth orbit missions, including powering CubeSats.
