We build the boring parts of the energy transition

Cloubay New Energy has been manufacturing and exporting photovoltaic hardware since 2012. No dealer network of our own, no direct sales into partner territory — our customers are the people who install.

A factory that answers emails

We started in 2012 as a module OEM for European brands. Fourteen years later we run two module lines, an in-house battery pack line and an inverter assembly plant in Ningbo — and we still put the engineer who designed the product on the technical hotline.

Roughly 78% of our revenue comes from partners who have been with us for more than three years. That number is the only KPI on the wall in the sales office.

What happens between your PO and the container seal

Third-party inspection is welcome at any stage, and we film the loading of every full container.

Cell sorting & stringing

Grade-A N-type cells only, sorted by current bin. 16-busbar low-temperature stringing keeps micro-crack risk down.

Lamination & EL

100% electroluminescence inspection before and after lamination — images archived against your serial numbers.

Pack assembly

Cells matched within 20 mV and 2 mΩ, laser welding, and a 72-hour ageing test on every battery module.

Pre-shipment

AQL 2.5 outgoing inspection, container loading video, and the certification pack emailed before the vessel sails.

Cloubay battery cell laboratory

Tested as a system, not as three separate boxes

Our lab in Ningbo runs the whole stack together: module, inverter, battery and EMS on the same bench, against a grid simulator that can reproduce your local grid code.

  • Grid simulator for VDE-AR-N 4105, G98/G99, CEI 0-21, AS/NZS 4777.2, NRS 097 and IEEE 1547
  • Damp-heat, thermal-cycling and PID chambers running IEC 61215 sequences continuously
  • Battery abuse testing: overcharge, short circuit, crush and thermal propagation to UL 9540A method
  • Firmware released on a fixed quarterly cadence, with rollback and staged deployment
  • Every field failure gets an 8D report — sent to the partner who raised it, not filed internally

The paperwork, in advance

Certificates are issued per model and per market. Tell us the destination and we send the exact pack — before you ask your customs broker.
