Billion Electric Expands Investment in VGwatt and Noon Spare Energy Technology to Strategically Develop Taiwan-Made MIT Photovoltaic Inverters and Industrial Energy Storage Solutions

2024 Jun 25

Billion Group officially completed a joint venture with Noon Spare Technology in April of this year. The image showcases Noon Spare Energy Technology’s fully automated battery production facility located in Tanzi, Taichung City, Taiwan.

In the midst of the global energy revolution, the Ministry of Economic Affairs has assessed the increasing electricity demand driven by the AI boom, forecasting an average annual growth rate of 3% over the next 5 to 10 years. The rise in AI's electricity consumption has garnered significant attention from the industry. However, building a traditional power plant takes six years, whereas a solar power plant can be completed in just two years. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has expressed concerns, stating that "power limitations are a challenge." Will Taiwan have enough power to meet demand?

Billion Group (TW: 3027), with over 50 years of experience in power electronics and network communication technology, has made strategic investments in "VGwatt Energy" and "Noon Spare Energy Technology " The company is actively advancing the localization of photovoltaic inverters and Energy Storage Systems (ESS), collaborating on key technologies to strengthen Taiwan's position in the global market. Billion Group aims to expand its reach to international markets, targeting the U.S., Japan, Australia, and beyond for overseas sales.


VGwatt – A Trusted Brand for Safe Innovation and Localized Service in Solar Power Generation and Installation

VGwatt, established in 2019, is the official authorized distributor of GROWATT in Taiwan. With over 10 years of experience in power technology and the solar energy industry, VGwatt has earned a reputation as a reliable partner in the renewable energy sector. GROWATT, a global leader in the new energy equipment industry, selected VGwatt as its key sales partner when entering the Taiwanese market in 2019. In collaboration with Billion Electric, VGwatt introduces the new BNI SERIES string inverters (40-60kW and 100-125kW), which have passed the National Voluntary Product Certification (VPC). These products offer exceptional competitiveness in terms of quality, pricing, and after-sales service.
 

VGwatt's General Manager, Mr. You Guo Zhou, stated that due to continuous technological innovation, ongoing improvements in quality, and the highly competitive industry, the differences in cost-effectiveness among brands have gradually narrowed. As a result, superior service has become the key to winning in the market. VGwatt has always adhered to a customer-centric approach, prioritizing the best service, and working closely with the local technical teams of the original manufacturers. The company strives to provide customers with the highest quality solar equipment options and services, with expectations to achieve remarkable growth this year, potentially doubling their performance.


Noon Spare Energy Technology – Innovating Technology, Smart Manufacturing, and Achieving Efficient Energy Storage Applications

Founded in 2018, Noon Spare Energy Technology boasts 40 years of local experience in the home appliance export supply chain. The company specializes in contract manufacturing of U.S. home energy storage products, as well as small-scale residential and large-scale commercial and industrial solutions. With ISO9001 management and UL production certifications, Noon Spare Energy Technology ensures its products meet local quality standards. The professional team gathers expertise in lithium battery cell material production, battery testing, module design, and packaging, and is equipped with high-standard testing facilities to maintain stringent quality control. The company is capable of flexibly designing and developing solutions tailored to energy storage system applications, and facilitating mass production. In addition, it integrates power conversion systems and energy management systems to optimize battery performance.

Noon Spare Energy Technology's Business Development Manager, Jesse Chen, stated that Noon Spare is focused on developing its own energy storage system production capabilities. In addition to collaborating with National Taiwan University of Science and Technology on industry-academic partnerships, the company is actively advancing Battery Management System (BMS) technology, which is core to energy storage systems. Noon Spare has already established in-house capabilities for the development of software and hardware for the 1,000V high-voltage secondary BMS. The company has also secured distribution rights for a mature, integrated smart energy storage system from a U.S.-based smart home brand, as well as OEM production rights for its battery modules. With these resources and product experience, Noon Spare is well-positioned to provide energy storage solutions for industrial, commercial, and residential users, as well as for microgrids and distributed energy systems.

The 100kW/215kWh industrial charging and energy storage system features a modular design, allowing for flexible scalability up to 500kW/1075kWh. This scalability offers greater flexibility in space utilization.

U.S. Tariff Policy Opens New Export Opportunities for Taiwan's MIT Products

Billion Electric's Chairman, Tim Chen, highlighted that the US announced in May an increase in tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles and batteries, with tariffs on electric vehicles rising from 25% to 100% and batteries from 7.5% to 25%. This move provides a new export opportunity for Taiwan-made MIT (Made in Taiwan) photovoltaic inverters and energy storage equipment. The group's strategic investment in VGwatt Energy and Noon Spare Energy Technology has accelerated its integration efficiency and complete quality supply chain. Since June this year, the group has begun exporting nearly 22 sets of its own Taiwan-manufactured MIT 100kW/215kWh commercial charging and energy storage units to three island nations. Chairman Tim Chen emphasized that energy storage involves complex, interdisciplinary, and location-specific technological integration. The group, along with its partners, is committed to advancing Taiwan-made products globally, offering cutting-edge photovoltaic and energy storage technologies and services.

近期新北市發生疑似因「消費性應用鋰電池」充電意外引起的火災事故,導致有部分民眾因近期建置中的雲林斗六儲能案場使用的鋰電池擔心是否有安全的疑慮,本公司特此澄清與說明如下: 鋰電池為現今市面上應用面最多的儲能設備之一,為目前應用最廣泛且穩定的充電電池,按應用場景分為 「消費性電池」、「動力電池」和「儲能電池」三種。從應用場景來看,「動力電池」主要用於電動汽車、電動自行車以及其它電動工具領域,作為移動電源且採高功率充放電 (1-3C) 供載具車輛使用,對於能量密度則有更高的要求;反觀目前國內外電網級靜置型態儲能系統,絕大多數儲能裝置無需移動屬於慢充慢放 (0.5C-1C) 達到電能轉移之效用,本儲能場依照《經濟部能源署併網型儲能系統設置區域及設置安全規範》、《內政部消防署提升儲能系統消防安全管理指引》,以及《經濟部標檢局戶外併網型鋰電池儲能系統驗證制度》等法規建置,規模跟安全性達到國家最高要求。 本案採用安全性高、全球著名的儲能系統品牌,以整機系統取得國際安全標準UL 9540與IEC 62933-5-2安全證書,並符合UL 9540A燃燒測試之要求與美國消防協會NFPA 855 及國際消防規範IFC的相關規定,無延燒之風險,設備從零組件層級到整機系統層級均符合國際安全認證與台灣在地法規要求。 本案儲能系統採用符合全球最高規格「UL9540A大型防延燒測試」的水冷式電池外,將電池藉由水循環系統來降低溫度;也符合《提升儲能系統消防安全管理指引》明定儲能系統案場之外牆或相當於外牆之設施與鄰近建築物等場所應保持30公尺的安全距離 (所稱「外牆之認定,係以儲能系統燃燒輻射熱或火焰之起點計算,若儲能系統為裝置於貨櫃或箱體內,該貨櫃或箱體得視為相當於外牆之設施,計算與鄰近場所之安全距離),儲能消防規範規定防火牆設置耐燃2小時 (厚度即10公分即可) 本案場施作25公分,高於中央所規範的牆厚2.5倍的鋼筋混凝土防火牆,案場也設置防溢堤、灑水設備、消防蓄水池與鋰電池專用滅火器,皆依照「各類場所消防安全設備設置標準」進行消防設計,使用消防署屬認可安全設備,且設計圖面、計算書應由消防設備師設計及簽證,並提供消防防護計畫、與當地消防單位聯繫提供緊急應變之規劃、每年應定期檢修消防安全裝置。 本起新北市火災事件依目前調查進度顯示之資料為「消費性電池」而非「儲能電池」,而民眾所疑慮斗六儲能案場的部分,所設置的專用滅火器是專為鋰電池火災設計的新型滅火藥劑專用規格,如遇電池過熱情況,依循消防署火災撲滅流程及方式SOP進行操作,更好的滅火方式是不斷噴灑大量的水,以達散熱與降溫,減低和阻斷電池芯產生的熱失控,經消防技師計算,建置80噸消防水池及消防泵浦供消防灑水使用,24小時/365天電池溫度監控,具備故障自動連鎖解聯、多方監控機制、定期巡檢,對於設備的安全性無需顧慮。 盛齊綠能呼籲各界,避免引用容易誤導民眾、或引起不必要恐慌、且與本案場無關之言論,傷害再生能源發展業者之信譽,並能理解與共同支持國家再生能源政策,使人民有更好的用電環境。
