Goman Thin Film Solar Energy Technology (Zibo) Co Ltd has made significant contributions to the 2024 Paris Olympics, as the company's flexible thin-film solar panels are powering the bus stops in the Olympic Village in Saint-Denis, France. These ultra-thin panels, just 1.5 mm thick, generate approximately 350 kWh of electricity daily, providing power to the reception and information centers for various national delegations.

Crafted with copper indium gallium selenide (CIGS) technology, these flexible solar panels are lightweight, durable, and highly efficient, perfectly aligning with the Paris Olympics' commitment to sustainability. The product has been exported to over 40 countries across Europe, America, and the Middle East, and the company has forged strategic partnerships with numerous large-scale overseas renewable energy groups.

Goman's products have also found extensive applications domestically, powering streetlights and rooftop solar installations. The rapid growth of the solar energy industry, as exemplified by the company's involvement in the Paris Olympics and local projects, reflects Zibo's commitment to industrial transformation, green development, and high-quality growth.

Zibo has been actively developing its new energy sector, with a focus on electric vehicles, energy storage, photovoltaics, and hydrogen energy. In the first half of 2024, exports of "new trio" products - solar cells, lithium-ion batteries, and electric passenger cars - reached 139 million yuan ($19 million), a significant year-on-year increase of 724.4 percent.

The success of Goman's solar panels at the Paris Olympics highlights Zibo's manufacturing capabilities and demonstrates its contributions to the global renewable energy market.
