Key Facts:
- GBP, a renewable energy solutions company, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Gokin Solar on 28 October 2026 to explore strategic cooperation across Asian markets.
- The proposed cooperation aims to introduce Gokin’s back-contact (BC) solar panels into GBP’s product offerings, broadening the high-efficiency options available to customers.
- BC technology places solar cell contacts on the rear surface, reducing shading and enabling higher conversion efficiency, which is particularly beneficial where installation space is limited.
- The collaboration will support customers – including EPC contractors and project owners – in selecting panels suited to their specific installation conditions, system configurations, and business plans.
- GBP intends to continue combining solar panels with related components in its proposals, supporting procurement with the overall system in mind as discussions with Gokin progress.
The proposed cooperation aims to broaden high-efficiency solar panel options and strengthen product proposals tailored to customers’ installation conditions and project requirements.
GBP, a renewable energy solutions company, signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on strategic cooperation with Gokin Solar on 28 October 2026. Under the MOU, GBP will advance discussions on introducing Gokin’s back-contact (BC) solar panels across Asian markets.
The proposed cooperation will combine Gokin’s solar panel offerings with GBP’s sales and project proposal activities. The aim is to expand the high-efficiency products GBP can offer and support customers in selecting panels suited to their installation conditions and business plans.
Broadening high-efficiency panel options
Established in 2019, Gokin Solar operates across the photovoltaic sector, including monocrystalline silicon ingots and wafers, solar modules and solar power projects. It supplies products and solutions to global markets, with a module portfolio that includes BC technology.
GBP supports customers through proposals for products and components used in new solar installations, equipment replacement and ongoing operations. The MOU provides a basis for discussions on adding Gokin’s high-efficiency panels to the options available through these activities.
Addressing output needs where space is limited
BC technology places solar cell contacts on the rear surface. By reducing shading from front-side contacts, the technology enables more effective use of incoming sunlight and supports higher conversion efficiency.
For solar project owners and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors, available installation space and equipment conditions can constrain panel selection. High-efficiency panels can help address the need for greater output within a limited area.
GBP will discuss the potential introduction of Gokin’s BC panels with these requirements in mind.
Supporting selection across the wider system
Solar panel selection requires consideration of more than rated output and conversion efficiency. Available space, system configuration, installation requirements and cost also influence which products are suitable for a particular project.
GBP aims to strengthen its proposals by broadening its high-efficiency product options and considering these factors alongside customers’ business plans. It will also continue combining solar panels with related components in its proposals, supporting product selection and procurement with the overall system in mind.
Discussions with Gokin will continue as GBP works to expand the products and solutions it can offer customers across the relevant Asian markets.
