What is expiring in January 2027
Risen Energy Co., Ltd. has two product‑specific module EPDs set to expire on January 4, 2027:
- Risen Energy 210 Series Bifacial Dual‑glass Monocrystalline Photovoltaic Modules (cradle‑to‑gate scope under EN 15804, published with EPD International AB).
- Risen Energy 210 Series Single‑glass Monocrystalline Photovoltaic Modules (same scope and operator).
These are mainstream PV module families that frequently appear in utility and C&I shortlists.
Are replacements already live
As of May 21, 2026, no successor EPDs for the 210 Series are visible. Risen does have other module EPDs that remain active well beyond that date, including a 132‑cell High Performance Monocrystalline PERC module valid through May 19, 2028, and a 132‑cell High Performance Monocrystalline HJT module valid through December 8, 2028. Those help, but they are different product families than the 210 Series and may not match every spec.
Will specifiers lose access to data
If renewals for the two 210 Series EPDs are not published before January 4, 2027, sepcifiers working on projects that require product‑specific EPDs will have to choose either another Risen family with a current EPD or a competing module. Many owners and LEED v5 project teams prefer to keep product‑level documentation current to avoid conservative assumptions in carbon accounting.

Likely competitive substitutes with current EPDs
If the 210 Series gap persists, expect buyers to look at familiar PV peers with active declarations:
- LONGi Solar Monocrystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Modules, valid to April 18, 2028. That window spans most 2026 and 2027 bid cycles.
- REC Solar Norway Alpha‑Pure 410 Wp module, valid to March 16, 2028. REC also lists additional mono modules current into 2027.
These are not endorsements. They are the types of product EPDs that keep submittals moving when deadlines get tight.
Why timing matters in bids
Product EPDs typically carry a five‑year validity under ISO 14025 program rules, after which a renewal or new study is expected to keep the claim in play (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025). For teams chasing 2027 deliveries, January expiries land right when procurement ramps, so renewal slippage can block otherwise qualified modules from EPD‑required packages.
Practical renewal playbook Risen can follow
Publish early. Aim for Q3 2026 submission so there is time for review and corrections.
Match the market’s rulebook. Use the same PCR families competitors are using for PV modules so results are comparable in EC3 and submittal portals.
Protect scope and representativeness. Keep site data clean and current for the specific 210 Series variants covered, and document any factory or BOM changes since 2021–2022 reference years.
What we are watching next
Two dates are on the radar. December 2026 brings other Risen module EPDs to term, and January 4, 2027 is the 210 Series milestone. A timely refresh keeps sales in the fast lane and prevents substitution during late‑stage reviews.
