At the start of 2026, Chinese photovoltaic companies have, without prior coordination, turned their attention to the same region—Southeast Asia. From a succession of domestic companies making inroads into Malaysia and Vietnam, to the grid connection and operation of a state-owned enterprise's megawatt-scale photovoltaic project in Laos, a clear signal has emerged: Southeast Asia is rapidly becoming the "new home market" for Chinese PV going global.
Why Southeast Asia?
The surge in the Southeast Asian market is the result of three overlapping variables.
First, the concentrated release of policy dividends. Malaysia has set a target of 70% renewable energy in its power mix by 2050. Vietnam, in its latest power development plan, has placed strong emphasis on rooftop PV. Indonesia and Thailand are also increasing their efforts through tariffs and subsidies. This is not an opportunity limited to a single country—it is a region-wide, synchronized release of policy support.
Second, exceptional resource endowments. Most of Southeast Asia enjoys over 2,000 annual sunshine hours. A combination of vast undeveloped land and dense industrial rooftops means the region has both abundant solar resources and ready-to-use application scenarios.
Third, the energy crisis driving transformation. At the beginning of 2026, oil prices in Thailand surged by more than 25%, turning photovoltaics from an environmental choice into an energy necessity.
However, opportunity does not guarantee success for all. Distributed PV in Southeast Asia faces severe challenges: the hot, humid climate causes severe corrosion of color-coated steel roofs; curved domes and lightweight steel structures leave rigid modules nowhere to be installed; and perforated mounting introduces leakage risks. As a result, many rooftops remain "unfit for installation"—and this is precisely where flexible PV finds its breakthrough.
Flexible PV: Breaking the Deadlock of "Wanted but Unable to Install"
Lightweight flexible PV technology offers a different answer.
It is light enough – weighing only about 30% of traditional modules, requiring no racks and using direct adhesive application, making it easy even for aging roofs to bear the load.
It is flexible enough – bendable and conformable, perfectly adapting to curved roofs, cylindrical surfaces, domes, and any other irregular shapes.
It is smart enough – requiring no drilling throughout the entire installation process, leaving the original waterproofing structure intact and completely eliminating the risk of leakage.
From Rooftop to Wall: Idle Vertical Space Can Also Generate Power
In dense Southeast Asian megacities like Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila, rooftop space is limited—but every building has four idle exterior walls. Using high-strength structural adhesive, flexible PV modules can be attached directly to concrete surfaces, metal curtain walls, or even old ceramic tiles, with no need for any penetrating fasteners.
A wall that was originally designed only to shelter the building from wind and rain thus becomes a small-scale power station. The building is no longer just an "electricity consumer" that uses energy, but becomes an "electricity generator" that actively produces power. From the "fifth façade" to the building envelope, flexible photovoltaics are transforming every overlooked urban surface into a source of green electricity.
Proven in Practice: These Projects Have Already Succeeded
In Malaysia, curved solar roof tiles have been installed on high-end villas.
Pitched roofs with tile structures are a standard feature of luxury homes in Southeast Asia—and also a "no-go zone" for traditional photovoltaics. Xingsheng Energy's BIPV curved tiles achieve a design with "no visible brackets, no visible cables," seamlessly integrating photovoltaics with the roof. Homeowners enjoy green electricity, and any surplus power can be sold back to the grid.
At domestic steel plants, curved shed roofs are no longer a no-go zone for photovoltaics.
The curved roofs of raw material sheds were long considered "completely uninstallable" for photovoltaics. Xingsheng's flexible modules adopt a "slope-following" installation approach, conforming to the curved surface like laying a cloth—no penetration, no complex brackets required. Every kilowatt-hour of green electricity captured directly offsets the enterprise's carbon emission allowance.
In China’s old industrial factories, three major problems are solved at once.
Insufficient load-bearing capacity, corroded color-coated steel tiles, and high leakage risk—these are the common pain points shared by countless aging factory buildings. With its lightweight, penetration-free design and the ability to be installed directly over existing steel tiles, Xingsheng's flexible modules grant PV freedom to roofs that had once been written off.
These successfully completed projects prove that it was never the roofs that were inadequate, but rather the old solutions. Flexible photovoltaics offers an answer that works.
Final Words: The Era of Adaptability in PV Going Global
The surge in Southeast Asia's PV market is the result of a convergence among three key drivers: policy, resources, and energy security. However, for Chinese companies, going global is no longer about simply relocating domestic products to new markets. The shift must be from selling standardized goods to providing adaptable, solution-oriented systems.
Whoever can make PV "soft" enough to adapt to a wide variety of building forms, and whoever can make installation "simple" enough to solve practical pain points like leakage and load constraints—that is who will gain a firm foothold in Southeast Asia.
With its lightweight, flexible modules, Xingsheng Energy—rooted in the core capabilities of being light, flexible, and adhesive—enables every idle rooftop and every unused wall to generate green energy value under the Southeast Asian sun.

On April 7, 2026, the Beijing Municipal People's Government released the Outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of Beijing, drawing a clear blueprint for the capital's energy transition and green development over the next five years.
This document is not just Beijing's "homework assignment" — it is also a bellwether for the national energy transition. For the solar photovoltaic (PV) industry, a clear signal has been sent: the PV sector is moving from a phase of "indiscriminate capacity installation" to a new era of "precision adaptation."
Beijing's Green Power Ambition in the 15th Five-Year Plan: Where Is the New Battlefield for Photovoltaics?
The Plan clearly states that Beijing will 'actively promote the expansion and quality improvement of renewable energy,' striving to add 2 million kilowatts of new photovoltaic and wind power generation capacity, and comprehensively promoting the fifth-façade photovoltaic power generation.
On the surface, this is about installed capacity; at a deeper level, it represents a revolution in application scenarios.
As the capital of China, Beijing has extremely precious land resources. The traditional model of large-scale ground-mounted power stations is unsustainable here. Therefore, the "fifth façade" (i.e., building rooftops) mentioned in the Plan, along with "direct green power connection" and "source-grid-load-storage integration," have become the key to breaking the deadlock.
This means that in the future, photovoltaics will no longer be just blue panels spread across flat rooftops; they will need to be integrated like building materials into every inch of the urban fabric.
The 'Forbidden Zone' for Traditional Photovoltaics, the 'Home Turf' for Flexible Modules
However, while the ideal is promising, reality often presents the awkward situation where "you want to install it, but can't."
Existing buildings are complex and diverse: there are胡同瓦房 (hutong tile-roof houses) with historical and cultural significance (insufficient load-bearing capacity, unable to damage the structure), modern curved venues, high-speed rail station domes, and numerous industrial parks built in earlier times with insufficient load capacity.
Traditional rigid modules are often helpless in the face of these scenarios. This is precisely the technological breakthrough point brought by Xingsheng Energy.
Xingsheng Energy's lightweight flexible modules have a thickness of only 2.7mm and weigh 2.9kg/m², approximately 30% of traditional glass modules, with a minimum bending radius of 0.5 meters. This characteristic—"as thin as paper, as flexible as clothing"—endows photovoltaics with unprecedented adaptability.
"Lightweight" — Solving the Load Pain Point:
Addressing the issue of insufficient load-bearing capacity on many old factory rooftops, the flexible modules require no complex penetrating mounting brackets, significantly reducing the load on the building structure. This allows "overburdened" old factories to easily embrace green power.
"Flexibility" — Solving the Form Challenge:
The roofs of university gymnasiums and large convention centers are often curved or irregularly shaped. Xingsheng's flexible modules can conform perfectly to curved surfaces like a piece of clothing, achieving an architectural aesthetic of "no visible brackets, no visible cables."
"Aesthetics" — Integrating into the Urban Landscape:
In historical districts and high-end villa areas, traditional solar panels disrupt the skyline. Xingsheng's BIPV products (such as double-glass curved tiles) not only generate electricity but also serve as building materials. Their three-curve design perfectly conforms to Chinese or European-style roofs, transforming photovoltaics from a "visual patch" into a "green armor."
"Wall" — Unlocking Facade Space:
In Beijing, where land is extremely valuable, relying solely on rooftops is far from enough. Xingsheng's flexible modules can also be directly adhered to building exteriors, turning large amounts of idle vertical wall surfaces into power-generating units. Whether on concrete walls, metal curtain walls, or old ceramic tile surfaces, using high-strength structural adhesive allows building facades to "generate their own electricity for their own use." This is not only a supplement to the "fifth façade" but also a key leap in transforming buildings from "energy consumers" into "energy producers."
The Transformation from 'Equipment Provider' to 'Energy Service Provider'
The Transformation from "Equipment Provider" to "Energy Service Provider"
Beijing's "Plan" specifically emphasizes "improving the carbon emission target evaluation and assessment system" and "striving to exceed the one-trillion-yuan mark in the scale of the green and advanced energy industry."
For photovoltaic practitioners, this means not just selling modules, but selling "carbon solutions."
With the implementation of new regulations such as the "Carbon Emission Accounting Guidelines for Public Institutions," green electricity generated for self-use will have clear carbon asset value.
Against this backdrop, the value of Xingsheng Energy is no longer limited to providing power generation equipment, but rather helping building owners reduce their burden on the "carbon ledger."
Whether it's the BIPV curved tile project for a villa in Malaysia or the curved roof retrofit of a steel plant in Tangshan, Xingsheng's cases prove that only by making photovoltaics "adapt" to buildings—rather than forcing buildings to "accommodate" photovoltaics—can the dormant existing rooftop market be truly activated.
Final Thoughts: The Next Five Years for Photovoltaics
The release of Beijing's 15th Five-Year Plan has sounded the charge for urban energy transformation.
For the photovoltaic industry, the era of simply competing on module wattage is passing. The era of competing on scenario adaptation capabilities has arrived.
Those curved roofs, old factories, and uniquely shaped villas that were once abandoned because they were "unsightly," "uninstallable," or "structurally insufficient to bear the load" are now, with the support of flexible photovoltaic technology, being transformed into valuable carbon assets.
Over the next five years, whoever can make photovoltaics "flexible" will be the one to stand strong in the billion-yuan-level urban green renewal.

On April 1, 2026, the Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting in Public Institutions issued by the National Government Offices Administration officially came into effect. This document is more than just a "bookkeeping manual"—it may trigger a significant shift in the photovoltaic (PV) industry. Lightweight and flexible PV modules, which have long been marginalized in the past, are now facing new market opportunities under the new regulations.
Three Core Benefits of the New Regulations
Self-generated and self-consumed electricity — carbon emissions cleared
The "self-generated and self-consumed electricity" from distributed PV systems in public institutions is not included in carbon emissions accounting. Owning a PV power plant means owning carbon assets.
Direct green power connection — zero-carbon premium
For directly connected green power, the emission factor is counted as "zero," removing barriers for microgrids and power sales across adjacent properties.
On-sold electricity exemption
Electricity on-sold to residents and merchants is not included in the accounting, allowing institutions to focus on their own emission reductions.
Core logic: A shift from "blind capacity installation" to "precise consumption." The value of lightweight, flexible modules — which can be installed on curved, aging, or load-limited rooftops — is being redefined.
Real-World Case: How Flexible Modules "Overcome Rigidity with Flexibility"
Project 1: Villa Project in Malaysia
In Malaysia, many high-end villas feature pitched roofs with tile structures. Traditional PV panels are not only heavy and bulky but also compromise the architectural aesthetics.
This project adopted Xingsheng BIPV curved roof tiles, achieving a visual effect with "no visible mounting structures, no visible cables." While enjoying a low-carbon lifestyle powered by green electricity, the homeowner can also feed surplus power into the local grid.
Implications of the New Regulations: Although this project is overseas, its technical path demonstrates the irreplaceability of Xingsheng BIPV curved roof tiles in scenarios involving complex roofs and high aesthetic demands. In the future, for high-end villas and historical district renovations in China, Xingsheng BIPV curved roof tiles will be the only viable solution.
Project 2: Curved Rooftop of Jinzhou Industrial Steel Plant in Yutian County, Tangshan
The curved raw material sheds and curved factory roofs of steel enterprises have long been considered "off-limits" for PV installation — traditional rigid modules cannot bend, and mounting systems are difficult to secure on curved surfaces.
At the Jinzhou Industrial Steel Plant in Yutian County, Tangshan, technicians adopted a "slope-following installation" approach, allowing Xingsheng lightweight flexible modules to conform perfectly to the curved shed surface like a piece of fabric — no penetration required, no complex mounting structures.
Implications of the New Regulations: After the new regulations take effect, every kilowatt-hour of green electricity captured by flexible modules at such energy-intensive enterprises will directly offset the company's carbon emission quota. The distance from an "energy-guzzling giant" to a "zero-carbon factory" is merely one layer of "flexible armor."
Project 3: Hexiang Expressway Tunnel Entrance Project
The lighting, ventilation, and monitoring systems at expressway tunnel entrances have long relied on grid power, making them major energy consumers in the transportation sector.
At the Hexiang Expressway, Xingsheng flexible PV modules were innovatively installed on the curved dome and slope areas at the tunnel entrance. By utilizing the limited, irregularly shaped idle land around the tunnel portal, the system enables direct green power supply to the tunnel lighting system.
Implications of the New Regulations: Under the new carbon accounting framework, this direct green power connection model for infrastructure will significantly reduce the carbon accounting pressure on the transportation sector, allowing expressways to "sustain themselves."
Project 4: Rooftop Project of an Industrial Park Factory Building in Huqiu, Suzhou
The Huqiu Industrial Area in Suzhou is home to a large number of factory buildings constructed in the early years. These buildings commonly face three major challenges: insufficient roof load-bearing capacity, corroded color-coated steel sheets, and a high risk of water leakage. Traditional PV systems simply cannot be installed under these conditions.
On the rooftop of this aging factory building, Xingsheng lightweight flexible modules were adopted. With three key advantages — weighing only 30% of conventional modules, requiring no penetrating mounting structures, and allowing installation over existing color-coated steel sheets — the system successfully addressed the two major pain points of load capacity and waterproofing.
Implications of the New Regulations: For the vast number of industrial and commercial property owners, although the new regulations primarily target public institutions, the signal they send is national in scope — green electricity is a hard currency. Achieving "PV freedom" on aging factory rooftops can only be realized through flexible modules.
What Will Xingsheng Do Under the New Regulations?
In response to the industry transformation brought about by the Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting in Public Institutions, Xingsheng will take action in three key areas to align with the new regulations and drive its own development:
Focus on "Installable" Scenarios and Amplify the Value of Carbon Assets
The new regulations give every kilowatt-hour of "self-generated and self-consumed" green electricity the attribute of a carbon asset. Xingsheng will continue to深耕 curved roofs, load-deficient rooftops, unconventional buildings, and other scenarios that traditional PV cannot cover — transforming previously "wasted" idle spaces into carbon assets for property owners.
Build "Zero-Carbon" Benchmarks and Seize Policy Dividends
The new regulations recognize "direct green power connection" with an emission factor of zero. Xingsheng will focus on developing a number of "zero-carbon demonstration projects" in areas such as transportation infrastructure (expressway tunnels, service areas) and public institutions (schools, hospitals, government campuses). These efforts will help property owners gain advantages in carbon accounting while also pursuing support from local carbon trading pilots and green finance policies.
Optimize Products and Services to Lower the Barrier for the Existing Building Market
Targeting the vast market of aging factory buildings exemplified by the Suzhou Huqiu project, Xingsheng will continue to improve the weight, waterproof performance, and installation convenience of its lightweight modules. The company will launch a standardized "zero-risk PV retrofit for aging factories" solution, enabling more plants with insufficient load capacity and high leakage risk to access green electricity at low cost and low risk, and to benefit from the carbon advantages brought by the new regulations.
Final Thoughts:
The implementation of the Guidelines for Carbon Emission Accounting in Public Institutions marks a shift in the PV industry from an era of "efficiency competition" to one of "adaptability competition."
Curved shed roofs, aging factory buildings, tunnel slopes, and unconventional villas — places where PV could never be installed before — now have clear carbon asset value under the new regulations.
Xingsheng will continue to take "adaptability" as its core competency, aligning with the new regulations to enable every inch of idle space to generate green electricity value.

Behind seemingly unrelated issues such as delamination at the edges of photovoltaic modules, continuous cracking of glass panels, and battery arrays failing due to shading, all point to the same source - structural issues that were overlooked in the design of photovoltaic power plants.Industry data in recent years shows that the "failure rate of appearance inspection is on the rise", with a considerable proportion of failures stemming from structural issues. Meanwhile, flexible photovoltaic technology has made breakthrough progress, and its unique structural advantages are receiving increasing attention.
Photovoltaic modules frequently exhibit "fundamental flaws"
The frequent occurrence of delamination issues at the edges of photovoltaic modules is no longer a trade secret. Independent industry tests have shown that "such delamination defects are becoming the primary cause of module failure.".This delamination phenomenon typically occurs after testing in a hot and humid environment, especially in the edge areas of glass components. When bubbles form at these edges, it indicates that the adhesive force between the encapsulation material and the component surface has been lost.
The presence of bubbles is not merely an aesthetic issue; it poses a direct threat to the safe operation of the entire photovoltaic system. Air is not an electrical insulator, and delamination directly leads to a reduction in electrical creepage distance. This means that issues such as "inverter electrical insulation failure," "grounding failure, and even module arc fault" are more likely to occur.
The limitations of traditional structural design
The structural issues exposed by rigid photovoltaic modules during long-term service extend beyond delamination. Relevant research indicates that numerous early operational defects exist in many photovoltaic systems.Hot spots are the most prevalent type of defect, which can lead to localized overheating, thereby accelerating material aging and power loss.
At the same time, the study also documented cases of glass cracking and junction box malfunctions. These issues mostly stem from the inherent limitations of traditional rigid structures, which are unable to flexibly adapt to environmental changes and difficult to effectively alleviate stress concentration.
Structural innovation of flexible technology
Unlike traditional rigid photovoltaics, flexible photovoltaics directly address many pain points in traditional designs through innovations in materials and structures. Relevant research has advanced flexible photovoltaic technology from different perspectives.The designed "tight-loose" dual-layer buffer structure can effectively absorb and release the stress generated during the manufacturing process and bending, while ensuring electronic transmission.
This structure enables flexible solar cells to maintain a high initial efficiency even after multiple bending tests and extreme temperature cycling tests.Meanwhile, the study also documented cases of glass cracking and junction box malfunctions. These issues mostly stem from the inherent limitations of traditional rigid structures, which are unable to flexibly adapt to environmental changes and struggle to effectively alleviate stress concentration.
Revolutionary application of flexible stent
Flexible supports are fundamentally changing the construction concept of photovoltaic power plants. Traditional rigid supports rely on large-scale site leveling, while flexible supports adopt a prestressed design that can adapt to various complex terrains and extreme climates.
The flexible support system has successfully undergone rigorous vibration and hidden crack tests, and has demonstrated outstanding performance in strong wind and hail experiments. In various practical application environments, the support has continuously withstood multiple extreme weather challenges.
Ecological advantages of multi-scenario integration
The real advantage of flexible photovoltaics lies not only in its materials and technology, but also in its adaptability to diverse application scenarios. Flexible photovoltaics can be applied to various surfaces, such as curved roofs and other irregular structures.For the "fish-solar complementation" project, flexible supports can provide sufficient clearance to achieve non-interfering coexistence of "generating electricity above and raising fish below".
In composite applications such as "photovoltaic + agriculture" and "photovoltaic + sand control", flexible technology has demonstrated superior adaptability compared to rigid solutions.
Consideration of the entire life cycle of the power station
When choosing flexible photovoltaics, one should not only focus on the initial investment savings, but also consider the comprehensive benefits throughout the entire life cycle of the power station. Structural issues that are overlooked during the design phase often become a huge burden for later operation and maintenance.Flexible photovoltaic systems can significantly reduce maintenance needs caused by structural failures. The flexible design can notably mitigate risks posed by shading, physical impacts, and thermal stress, issues that often lead to hot spots, glass cracking, and delamination in traditional rigid components.The photovoltaic industry is transitioning from "rigid conquest" to "flexible coexistence", with flexible photovoltaic technology addressing structural issues that have long been overlooked in traditional designs. In the future, more and more irregular building surfaces and complex mountainous terrains may be illuminated by flexible photovoltaics.Those sites that were previously deemed "unsuitable" for installing photovoltaic systems are now experiencing new vitality thanks to flexible technology.
