Huntkey Unleashes Two New Models of PC Power Supply Units

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 29, 2021 — Huntkey, a leading provider of power solutions, unleashes two new models of PC power supply units – the GS700 PRIME and GS800 PRIME.

The GS700 PRIME & GS800 PRIME:
https://en.huntkey.com/product/gs700-prime/
https://en.huntkey.com/product/gs800-prime/

They belong to the same series, but they are designed with different power outputs. The GS700 PRIME’s rated power is 600W and peak power is 700W; the GS800 PRIME is rated 700W, with peak power at 800W.

Both of them are 80 Plus Bronze certified, which means they are more energy efficient compared to other PSUs. Equipped with Active Power Factor Correction (APFC), they are capable of supplying more stable and reliable power with lower ripple and noise. Three main features of them are as follows:

Stable & Reliable Power: Output precision of +5V/+3.3V is well controlled under 3% and even under 1% at typical load, which is far lower than the Industrial Standard 5%, meaning more stable and reliable power will be supplied.

Strong Power Delivery: Output of +12V reaches up to 55A at the maximum. The stronger power +12V can supply, the better CPU/graphic card will perform.

Low Noise: The 12cm thermally sensitive fan intelligently controls its rotating speed to lower the sound and heat generation. The LLC topology structure can eliminate electronic noises.

JA Solar Recognized as “Overall High Achiever” in PV Module Index Report 2020 Released by RETC

BEIJING, Jan. 12, 2021 — JA Solar, a manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic (PV) products, was recognized as an "Overall High Achiever" in the PV Module Index Report 2020 (PVMI) recently released by the Renewable Energy Test Center (RETC) – an authoritative testing agency in the United States – for its modules’ excellent performance in strict testing for quality, reliability and performance. The company is one of the three module manufacturers to win this recognition.

PVMI was first launched by RETC in 2019 in response to market demand. It is the first report in the industry that comprehensively covers the test results on the three aspects of quality, reliability and performance. The report evaluates the modules through tests for damp heat (DH), humidity freeze (HF) and thermal cycle (TC), etc., and through the testing results of module efficiency, light induced degradation (LID) and random sampling, etc. It aims to select the modules with the best performance to provide reference to module manufacturers in product technology innovation, high-quality production, and to downstream manufacturers in module selection.

RETC said in the report that in order to select "the best of the best" among multiple module manufacturers, they scored and ranked the manufacturers based on comprehensive module quality, reliability and performance. "Manufacturers and product lines that achieve high performance according to these three disciplines not only demonstrate a commitment to excellence, but also provide a benchmark – a quantitative measure representing the best that the industry has to offer."
