Recently, I traveled to China to tour the Renogy solar manufacturing facilites. Wow, it was truly an amazing experience! Wuxi is a small Chinese city of 5 million people (pretty crazy that 5 million people is a small city). There is growth happening at a breakneck pace. While I was there I got to see a recently expanded train station and the construction of a large new metro system that will serve the entire city. It seemed like the majority of downtown Wuxi was under construction with half built sky scrappers and large foundation holes all over the place.
The Renogy plant is located about 20 minutes outside of the city center. The plant is a sprawling campus of warehouse buildings. My tour guide, translator, and head of Renogy marketing Annie did a masterful of taking me every building despite hot and rainy conditions. The moment I entered the compound I noticed that all of the light poles had solar panel AND wind turbines on them. What a great idea! Do both wind and solar energy production right on your light poles.
Each warehouse space had a specific function… from growing the silicon and forming it into ingots, laser cutting the wafers, wiring the wafers, assembling the the panels, and packing and shipping the panels Renogy does it all in house!
Renogy panels are UL listed and CHUB B insured making Renogy panels a bankable product. Check out the full line of Renogy panels. See pictures of the Renogy plant below.
