Copper cable theft has become a growing concern... Aluminium, while offering comparable performance for many applications, presents a much lower incentive for theft—making it a smart and cost-effective alternative for utilities, solar farms, and industrial facilities. GBP K.K. aluminium solutions not only enhance operational security, but also reduce material costs and weight, contributing to more efficient and resilient systems. This theft-mitigation approach has already proven successful in Japan and can be readily adapted to similar risk environments around the world.

One of our utility-scale solar power projects in Japan, approximately 25% of the installation was damaged due to a severe snowstorm. Acting as the EPC prime contractor, GBP K.K. is responsible for providing both materials and labour and is now undertaking a full-scale restoration, aiming to complete all recovery work within a four-month timeframe With our proven track record in Japan and our expertise in delivering tailored, high-quality solar module replacements, GBP K.K. is ready to extend these services to international markets—particularly in regions vulnerable to extreme weather events. Whether it’s snow, wind, or UV degradation, our bespoke solutions and rapid deployment capabilities can help global asset owners protect and prolong the lifecycle of their solar investments. the lifecycle of their solar investments.

In response to customer concerns regarding the risk of theft of PV trunk cables, GBP K.K. implemented Japan’s first JET-certified high-voltage aluminium cables as a proactive security measure. GBP K.K.'s JET-certified aluminium cables not only reduce material costs and weight but also meet stringent safety and quality criteria—making them an ideal choice for utility-scale solar projects and infrastructure in both domestic and international markets.

GBP K.K.'s aluminium cables were selected over several competitors because they are fully certified with both PSE and JET approvals, which qualifies them for insurance coverage under leading insurance providers.

In a project that involved transitioning from a central inverter system to a distributed inverter configuration, GBP K.K. supplied a custom-engineered outdoor unit that integrates a high-voltage transformer and an AC combiner box into a single compact solution. GBP K.K. specialise in developing customised hardware for complex solar upgrades and retrofits with experience across both domestic and international markets and well-positioned to deliver innovative, project-specific solutions to solar developers, EPCs, and O&M providers worldwide.

GBP K.K. provide diagnostic assessments and lifecycle extension services for ageing PV infrastructure. Whether for individual components or full system retrofits, our solutions are designed to maximise asset performance, reduce O&M burden, and enhance long-term return on investment. This approach to preventive renewal isn’t just for Japan—it’s a globally scalable strategy for asset owners seeking to safeguard energy output and reduce operational risks across the lifespan of their solar assets.

GBP K.K. deliver JET- and PSE-certified high-voltage aluminium cables that are fully insurable, performance-tested, and ideal for high-risk regions. By helping this client restore operational reliability and regain insurability, we’ve proven that infrastructure security can be achieved through smart material choices. As theft-related losses increase globally, GBP K.K.'s solutions can be deployed internationally to protect solar assets, maintain investor confidence, and ensure uninterrupted power generation.

Discontinued or damaged panels can create major operational challenges for asset owners—particularly in maintenance, insurance claims, and system compatibility. GBP K.K. specialise in manufacturing custom-fit replacement panels that replicate the original module’s size, output, cell configuration, and connector type, even when the model is no longer available on the market. With over 800 module models supported and a track record of success across Japan and overseas, GBP is ready to help global partners maintain their solar investments—even when the original technology is no longer in production.
