On September 12, 2025, the RE+ 2025 International Renewable Energy Exhibition successfully concluded in Las Vegas, USA. As one of the world’s most influential gatherings in the renewable energy sector, the exhibition brought together leading enterprises, technology experts, and industry pioneers from across the globe to explore cutting-edge pathways and innovative solutions for the green energy transition. HORAD Group showcased its newly developed flat-plate lamination press, drawing significant attention with its breakthrough technologies and comprehensive service capabilities.
Overseas Debut: A Groundbreaking Technology Leading a New Era of Hard-Press Lamination
At this year’s exhibition, HORAD unveiled its latest innovation—the world’s first flat-plate lamination press technology—setting a new industry benchmark and ushering in the era of hard-press lamination in photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing.
Unlike traditional “soft-press” processes, HORAD’s lamination press adopts a rigid pressure system in place of flexible cushioning, delivering highly precise and uniform pressure across PV modules. This innovation effectively eliminates internal bubbles and micro-cracks during the lamination process, raising the yield rate to an unprecedented 99.9%, far surpassing the industry average. This breakthrough not only enhances module reliability but also provides customers with significant improvements in product quality assurance and production efficiency.
Cost Reduction and Efficiency Gains: Saving CNY 5 Million per GW Annually
The new technology demonstrates exceptional performance in cost reduction and efficiency. On a per-gigawatt production scale, it enables annual savings of up to CNY 5 million, while improving equipment throughput by 30% and reducing energy consumption by 20%. These advantages empower global customers to substantially increase production efficiency and strengthen market competitiveness, driving PV manufacturing toward higher precision, lower energy use, and greater profitability.
Comprehensive Technology Coverage Across the Entire Value Chain
As a global leader in intelligent PV manufacturing equipment, HORAD is committed to delivering high-end machinery and turnkey solutions across the full solar manufacturing value chain. The company’s product portfolio is fully compatible with both mainstream and next-generation cell technologies. It offers outstanding adaptability for BC, HJT, TOPCon, and perovskite cell feeding systems, while also providing complete support for module encapsulation processes across PERC, TOPCon, HJT, perovskite, and BIPV technologies.
The launch of the flat-plate lamination press at RE+ 2025 once again demonstrates HORAD’s technological leadership and forward-looking vision in high-end PV equipment.
Hard-Press Innovation · Global Empowerment
With over a decade of deep expertise in PV equipment, HORAD has established 7 overseas sales subsidiaries, 5 manufacturing bases, 5 R&D centers, and 4 international service hubs, with business operations spanning 25 countries. Leveraging its in-depth understanding of market standards, regulations, and cultural practices in Europe and North America, the company provides customers with end-to-end services—from project planning, line delivery, and installation to long-term operation and maintenance—achieving true “global technology + localized delivery.”
RE+ 2025 not only served as a global stage for HORAD to present its cutting-edge innovations to the North American and international markets, but also as a valuable opportunity to collaborate with partners in advancing green development and creating a low-carbon future. Looking ahead, HORAD will continue to embrace its philosophy of “innovation-driven, global win-win”, intensify R&D investment, expand localized services, and work hand in hand with partners worldwide. Together, the company is committed to driving the high-quality development of the photovoltaic industry and contributing more Chinese wisdom and strength to global energy transition and carbon neutrality goals.
