Years of hard work in the PV industry, and trustworthy, high-quality products helped Seraphim earn its reputation for professionalism. In

2016, Seraphim cautiously set up a joint venture with Changzhou Oriental Urban Construction to develop domestic commercial and

industrial distributed solar projects. In 2017, Seraphim entered residential market to bring reliable solar products and professional

services to residential solar system owners.

Seraphim opened the newest PV module manufacturing factory in East London IDZ, Eastern Cape, South Africa in 2018, with 300MW

standard module and 200MW half-cell module capacity.

Besides, Seraphim also planned to establish a new 500 MW solar cell factory in the Coega Industrial Development Zone of Port Elizabeth,

South Africa. This new cell factory will be the first in the African continent, which can support Seraphim’s manufacturing supply chain.

The new factory equipment plans are a critical element in Seraphim’s globalization strategy to mitigate the uncertain landscape of tariffs

on exports from China.

In BNEF PV module annual bankability results, the ranking of Seraphim has steadily increased.

SHIFTINGGROWIING

Seraphim quality is guaranteed by fully automated systems, fully-

transparent quality management systems, and seamless operation

processes and material flow monitoring.

11

We designed and developed our own production lines based on our market studies and examination of manufacturing processes

around the world. We also developed an in-house ERP system to track the production steps of each module component—from

incoming material quality control to online production, OBA test and delivery status, etc. In the long run, we are building an in-house

database to further improve quality control.

Seraphim’s full-automatic warehouse is specially designed and programmed, which integrates ERP management system, WMS

scheduling system, NDC automatic guidance technology, AGV and automatic transmission lines, etc., all to realize the best remote

and intelligent warehouse management possible.

Smart Warehouse

Instead of having workers drive

around, fork-lift trucks can execute

directions from remote offices

automatically, stacking and picking

pallets of modules.

The process is more efficient, and is

a good example of how automation

can be combined with human labor to

increase productivity.

14

Stringent Quality Control

Seraphim has received certifications for Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2015), Environment

Management System (ISO 14001:2015) and Occupational Health and Safety Management System

(OHSAS 18001:2007) from both DNV GL and GZCC.

15

Stringent quality control is the cornerstone of Seraphim’s manufacturing. Our customers have come to expect uncompromising quality

standards in our products. To meet this expectation of high quality, we continue to invest in state-of-the art equipment and professional

training of our employees. We are proud of our product quality and their reliable performance even in the most extreme conditions.

SHIFTINGPIONEERING

Since innovation is the vital driver, Seraphim can rise to technological

challenges as a second nature. So far, Seraphim’s in-house laboratory has

been accredited by four international third-party testing organizations and

passed five authoritative certifications.

16

Seraphim’s strong capability in R&D has created a product portfolio that keeps up with customer needs. So far, we have over 100

technological patents—and our Eclipse is the first shingled-cell module to pass TUV SUD tests. Innovation is Seraphim's core

competence, and we’re sticking with it so we can keep lowering LCOE more every year.
