Solarlight Co., Ltd. Begins Establishment of Korea's Largest Secondary Battery Specialized Repair Center

As the global ESS and renewable energy industries continue to grow steadily, Solarlight Co., Ltd. (CEO Kim Wol-young) announced that it has begun constructing a specialized repair center for secondary batteries (lithium-ion batteries) to respond to the increasing demand for reuse and recycling of secondary batteries.

The secondary battery specialized repair center that Solarlight has started building is the largest battery repair center in Korea, capable of maintenance and repair down to the battery cell level.

The center provides professional battery repair services such as general fault repairs and diagnostic repairs for lithium-ion batteries and applications, and features an integrated management system from diagnostic intake to repair shipment. This enables rapid response to battery repairs, reduces operating costs, and facilitates battery reuse.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Environmental Corporation forecast that the waste battery market will grow 45.9 times compared to this year by 2030, expecting the market to expand from about 1,400 units in the second half of this year to an annual scale of 67,210 units by 2030. Therefore, Solarlight’s secondary battery specialized repair center is expected to become a growth engine for the secondary battery market in the future.

A Solarlight official stated, "We are making every effort to ensure safety, including establishing appropriate safety facilities for this secondary battery (lithium-ion battery) repair center, and expect to create over 50 direct and indirect jobs as well as economic ripple effects. It is anticipated that the center will contribute to the national industry by reducing environmental pollution and social costs through secondary battery repairs."

Meanwhile, Solarlight Co., Ltd. has led the domestic and international battery markets with its proprietary technology, and is a company that has expanded its business areas diversely, not only in solar power-linked ESS installation and field management, and battery repair, but also in power supply systems and the solar energy industry.

Additionally, Solarlight was selected by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups as a business operator for the Gyeongbuk next-generation battery recycling regulatory free zone project, and is currently promoting the establishment of a secondary battery reuse demonstration complex within the Pohang Blue Valley Industrial Complex. To serve as a domestic and international battery repair hub, it is also establishing centers recently in Gyeongju and Goseong.

Solarlight plans to establish itself as a next-generation growth engine contributing to the activation and popularization of the lithium-ion application market related to the secondary battery market in the future. As a pioneer leading the spread of low-carbon and distributed energy and the construction of an innovative green industry ecosystem, it is expected to demonstrate a path aligned with Korea’s New Deal policy strategy, preparing for change and the future.
