The cells are ALD-AlOx passivated PERC technology with Light Reflecting Film (LRF) ribbon as well hi-spec white EVA and narrow distance between connected cells to reduce cell to module (CTM) losses.

In 2018, Risen Energy claimed to be the first large PV manufacturer to realize volume production at the gigawatt-scale of bifacial ALD-AlOx passivated PERC technology, producing average cell efficiencies of 22.2%, with the maximum production line efficiency of up to 22.51%.
 
The company had supplied 60MW of JÄGER HP high-efficiency bifacial modules to a ‘Top Runner’ program in China in 2018.

According to PV Tech’s annual analysis of upstream PV manufacturers R&D spending trends, Risen Energy has significantly increased activities in recent years. The company spent US$56.45 million in 2017, up from US$14.6 million in the previous year.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 7-8 October 2025 is our third PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The events in 2023 and 2024 were a sell out success and 2025 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
