Tokyo, Sept.1– GBP K.K., a Tokyo-based rapidly expanding player in the renewable energy sector, today announced the official launch of its new e-commerce platform, GBP Direct. The platform allows customers to purchase renewable energy components—including discontinued solar panel replacements, copper and aluminium cables, transformers, junction boxes, and terminals—directly online.

By streamlining the procurement process, GBP Direct shortens lead times, reduces costs, and ensures smoother operations for solar projects across Japan and overseas.

Meeting Industry Need

As solar power plants age, operators face common issues such as panel deterioration and reduced energy generation. Solar panel technology evolves quickly, and discontinued models are often no longer available, complicating maintenance and replacement efforts.

Recognizing this gap, GBP pioneered the production of replacement panels replicating the exact output, dimensions, thickness, mounting hole positions, and inner diameter of discontinued models. These have been well received in the market, with cumulative sales exceeding 300,000 panels as of July 2025.

From this success, GBP identified a strong demand for convenient, small-lot procurement. Until now, customers faced time-consuming processes of inquiries, quotations, and manual ordering. GBP Direct solves this challenge by enabling one-stop online ordering, even for a single replacement panel.
