China’s Photovoltaics Expand into Africa — But Fail Due to Corrosion?!

On the vast land of Africa,

Chinese photovoltaics are taking root everywhere.

They're not just energy products — they represent China's most advanced green technology.

But did you know?

In the early days of PV exports, many projects didn’t even make it to installation.

Before reaching the destination, the products were already severely corroded.

Many Chinese companies fell into this trap — especially with PV mounting structures.

Why?

Because they overlooked a key factor:

Sea transportation — lasting several weeks.

Storms, high humidity, extreme UV, and salt spray — that’s CX-level corrosion exposure.

Joints and bolt areas are especially vulnerable.

Once rust sets in, the structure fails!

But in the coating industry, we already have a proven solution.

At Mengneng, we recommend:

Graphene low-surface-tolerance primer + polyurethane topcoat

Strong adhesion, excellent salt spray resistance, UV durability, and anti-aging.

Certified under ISO 12944, offering corrosion protection for over 25 years.

This is what gives us confidence in supporting PV exports worldwide.
