TCL Solar has officially entered the Korean market, making its presence known at the Korea International Green Energy Expo in Daegu. Fresh off a major brand upgrade, the company took over Booth L260 with a full showcase of its cutting-edge solar lineup including its Shingled, TOPCon half-cut, and BC modules, drawing major attention across the three-day event.

TCL Solar brings next-gen solar tech to Korea’s renewable energy market

This move marks TCL Solar’s first official foray into Korea, backed by the combined strengths of TCL Group, TCL Zhonghuan, and the legendary SunPower, which it acquired earlier this year. The timing is strategic because South Korea, the world’s eighth-largest energy consumer, is racing to overhaul its energy mix under its Carbon Neutrality 2050 plan and is aiming for 30 percent renewable generation by 2030.

At the center of TCL’s display was its G11RA72P BC module, built on SunPower’s advanced technology. The module delivers improved real-world performance over mainstream TOPCon products, with better results in partial shading, temperature coefficients, and power degradation over time, all critical advantages for Korea’s dense, rooftop-heavy solar landscape.

TCL’s Shingled modules also stood out, blending aesthetics and efficiency through a unique one-third cut cell design and high-density packing that promises more power and better durability without sacrificing visual uniformity, a growing priority in urban installations.

The debut was not just about showing off hardware. TCL Solar signed supply deals with two established local players, Dabin E&C and Korea Green Power Co. Ltd., signaling immediate traction in a notoriously competitive and certification-heavy market.

As TCL Solar ramps up its research and development efforts and deepens local partnerships, it is clear the brand is not just entering Korea but is betting on becoming a major force in the region’s renewable energy shift.
