Suntech develops, manufactures, and delivers industry-leading solar energy solutions for every application and market, from off-grid systems, to homes, to the world’s largest solar power plants.
Founded in 2001, the company has supplied more than 30 million photovoltaic panels or 8 GWs of installed capacity to more than a thousand customers in more than 80 countries.
Suntech’s pioneering R&D creates customer-centric innovations that are driving solar to grid parity against fossil fuels. The company’s goal is to provide reliable access, to nature’s cleanest and most abundant energy source.
Under the ownership of Shunfeng Clean Energy (SFCE), Suntech not only has the strongest balance sheet in the industry with nearly zero debt, but was also recently added to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s (BNEF) Tier 1 solar company list. Suntech is pursuing a new business strategy that will make it the largest integrated clean energy company globally – integrated not only in terms of manufacturing but also in terms of owning clean energy producing assets.
Suntech offers clients:
•Higher confidence the product will perform consistently and reliably
•Proven long-term reliability due to continuous monitoring
•Better return on investment due to better reliability and lower power degradation
•Increased bankability
This makes the company to be among few manufactures globally to have received the prestigious VDE Quality-Tested certification, which attests that the quality of Suntech’s modules exceeds existing industry standards.
Company’s products are found in Africa and experts advise clients to go for the quality of product and not the price.
