Risen marks 18 years in Australia and launches two new HJT modules

On 27 October 2026, Risen Energy Australia celebrated 18 years in the Australian market with a dinner at Crown Towers Melbourne, the evening before All-Energy Australia opened. Customers and industry partners joined the Risen team as the company launched two new heterojunction (HJT) modules for Australia, the Hyper-ion Ultra and the RisenSpace 500 Wp.

Eighteen years in Australia

Since arriving in Australia in 2008, Risen has built its presence here step by step. Its modules supply large solar farms, commercial and industrial (C&I) sites, homes and communities across the country.

Risen backs that with advanced manufacturing and strict quality control, so its products stand up over time and in Australia’s demanding climate. As the energy transition gathers pace, Risen now brings together four core capabilities: modules, inverters, energy storage systems and a smart energy management platform. Together they cover the whole chain from generation to grid, load and storage, as one integrated solar-and-storage solution.

Risen has never done this alone. It works to understand the local market and meet local needs, and it relies on the trust of its customers and partners as they tackle the challenges of the energy transition together.

A message from the chairman

Risen Energy Co., Ltd. Chairman Lin Haifeng opened the evening. He looked back on the brand’s 18 years in Australia and thanked the customers, partners and research colleagues who have supported it. He set out Risen’s long-term plans: to deepen its local presence, keep investing in technology and work more closely with universities and research institutes. He also spoke of building a green energy ecosystem in Australia together with partners.

Two new HJT modules for Australia

In his keynote, Dr Yang Bochuan, Vice President and head of Risen’s research institute, explained how Risen’s HJT technology is now flowing into its ground-mount products. He then launched two HJT modules for the Australian market.

Hyper-ion Ultra, for utility-scale solar farms:

• 760 Wp output
• high bifaciality and an excellent −0.24%/°C temperature coefficient
• a low carbon footprint
• designed to lower balance-of-system (BOS) costs and the cost of energy

RisenSpace 500 Wp, for residential and C&I rooftops:

• built on the same cell technology platform as RisenFlex Nova
• up to 500 Wp and 23.5% efficiency, in an all-black design
• ultra-thin HJT cells with zero-busbar (0BB), stress-free interconnection, for strong resistance to micro-cracks and UV ageing, and good low-light performance
• optimised for Australian conditions, with double 40-year warranty cover for the residential market

Research with UNSW

Risen invited Professor Brett Hallam of UNSW Sydney to speak on making PV module manufacturing more sustainable by cutting emissions and reliance on critical materials. As solar heads towards terawatt scale, he said, the industry has to deal with manufacturing emissions and its use of critical materials such as silver and aluminium.

Professor Hallam presented joint research by UNSW and Risen on low-silver metallisation, ultra-thin wafers and low-carbon frames, carried out through an ARENA-supported project. The work aims to cut the silicon, silver and aluminium used per watt and the energy used in manufacturing, without compromising long-term module reliability. It also supports PV products tailored to Australian applications.

On to All-Energy

The evening closed with an anniversary cake and a lucky draw, giving guests time to talk about the opportunities in Australia’s clean energy market.

The next day, Risen opened its stand at All-Energy Australia 2026.

Risen says the 18-year mark is a new starting point. It plans to keep refining its products and solutions for Australia, working with more local partners on the country’s energy transition.
