LSIS Co. has set its sights on overseas markets, with its water treatment equipment combined with IT. The company developed Aquasol, an IT-developed smart water treatment system, and has launched a marketing strategy to explore the market for the company’s unique product, said President Koo Cha-kyun on April 12.
The company has chosen a number of countries in southeast Asia, specifically Indonesia and Vietnam, which have piped water systems that are too old and should be replaced or upgraded to be able to supply healthy potable water to the people of those countries.
LSIS officials said they developed Aquasol with a pool of technologies accumulated over the past 30 years, in fusion with IT, to improve the existing water treatment facilities.
LSIS Co.’s modern water treatment equipment can estimate water needs according to weather conditions and water management information by region, and manage all water from piped water to waste water with minimum costs.
Korea’s waster systems are already developed — as around 98 percent of the country has those systems. However in regions like the Middle East and the S.E. Asia, there is an acute need for modern water treatment facilities, and demand has been growing very fast every year, LSIS Co. said.
The global need for new water treatment facilities has been projected to be $600 billion this year, an increase from last year, according to a global survey firm.
At South Korea’s largest photovoltaic exposition — the International Green Energy Expo & Conference (IGEEC) — LSIS unveiled a single-crystal 265W high-efficiency salt-resistant module to advance into the global water-surface photovoltaic markets.
At the 12th IGEEC 2015 held at the Daegu EXCO from April 1 to April 3, LSIS unveiled exclusive marine high-efficiency salt-resistant photovoltaic modules and other solar solutions.?
The exclusive marine single-crystal 265W salt-resistance module is specially plated to be protected against corrosion from salt, and also boasts a high 16.45 percent module efficiency.
The product passed IEC’s Salt Mist Level 6 tests and earned TUV (Technischer Uberwachungsverein) certification, proving its high salt-resistance performance, enabling it to produce a high output in waste salt farms and areas near the sea without worrying about the equipment suffering corrosion.
“The new marine module boasts drastically reinforced salt resistance and high efficiency, thereby reducing the installation cost and size compared with the other modules of the same output,” LSIS explained. “In addition to high-performance and high-efficiency modules, we will massively launch modules specialized for various environments to advance into and revive the recessed domestic photovoltaic markets.”
In its nine booths covering 81square meters, the largest among Korean participants, LSIS showsaced new photovoltaic modules and generation solutions, optimized for the domestic solar installation environments, such as water-surface, rooftop, home and generation modules.
The Water-Surface Solution Zone featured water-surface-exclusive multi-crystal 310W modules and marine-exclusive single-crystal 265W salt-resistance modules, for the first time for any Korean company. These modules can use dams and reservoirs without creating solar parks and minimizing forest damage, and increase power generation quantity by 10 percent with natural cooling effects, and target the fast-growing water-surface photovoltaic markets thanks to the high economic efficiency of such modules.
The Rooftop Solution Zone featured solar roofs designed to simultaneously construct photovoltaic facilities and improve the roofs, thereby reducing the cost. The Home Solution Zone featured home solar package systems, including modules optimized for furniture, inverters and electrical energy storage.
The Power Generation Solution Zone featured the new 40kW, 100kW, 250kW, and 500kW photovoltaic inverters, single-crystal 275W and 280W modules, power devices optimized for large-capacity power stations, transmission and transformation equipment, and energy storage systems. These are solutions for power generation operators, and they are designed to be interconnected with LSIS’s power systems such as circuit breakers, switches, and transformers, thereby not only boosting their reliability and optimizing power output, but also making it convenient to maintain and repair.
In addition, LSIS unveiled the 53W-class photovoltaic module, which has been operating for 23 years since it was installed in 1992 on Pyeongsado Island, Sinan-gun, South Jeolla Province. This module still boasts over 80 percent excellent output efficiency, attesting to the stability and reliability of LSIS’s photovoltaic products and winning big acclaims from visitors.
“We are focusing on developing high-efficiency and high-reliability products, and on enhancing the competitiveness of solutions tailored to diverse markets and of solutions interfacing with the existing power systems,” said an LSIS official. “Through this occasion, we will positively penetrate specialized markets such as the domestic water-surface and marine photovoltaic markets.”
