Typhoon “Bebinca” (Severe Typhoon Category), the 13th typhoon of this year, made landfall along the coast of Shanghai on the 16th. At the time of landfall, the maximum wind force near the center reached Category 14 (42 meters per second, Severe Typhoon Category). “Bebinca” is the strongest typhoon to land in Shanghai in 75 years. Affected by Typhoon “Bebinca”, after its passage, uprooted trees, broken signs, deflected street lamps, fallen shared bikes and other scenes were everywhere.
The 4MW distributed photovoltaic power station with membrane roof of Jahwa Shanghai Home Chemicals Co., Ltd. located in Qingpu District, Shanghai, was directly in the path of Typhoon “Bebinca” and near the center of the storm eye, with wind force reaching Category 13 during the passage.

When “Bebinca” passed through Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai with winds of about Category 12, it passed through cities such as Suzhou, Huzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou where photovoltaic power stations with membrane roof bracket solutions provided by Valin New Energy are installed. The iconic Changshu Hormann Door Group 1MW membrane roof photovoltaic power station, Huzhou Honeycomb 35MW membrane roof photovoltaic power station, Wuxi Vandewiele 4.5MW membrane roof photovoltaic power station, Changzhou China Automotive Engineering Research Institute 0.9MW membrane roof photovoltaic power station and Sonnini 0.45MW membrane roof photovoltaic power station all successfully withstood the test of “Bebinca”.
Valin New Energy’s TPO/PVC membrane roof photovoltaic bracket solution directly addresses the waterproofing and construction difficulties in the installation of photovoltaic power stations on membrane roofs. With highly integrated and modular integrated brackets, it empowers the installation and construction of various membrane roof photovoltaic projects. Meanwhile, relying on Valin New Energy’s professional membrane roof construction organization, it ensures the efficient operation of TPO/PVC membrane roof photovoltaic power stations for 25 years, injects vitality and momentum into the development of BIPV (Building-Integrated Photovoltaics), and helps achieve the dual carbon goals.
