On August 20, a signing ceremony for a domestic photovoltaic (PV) supply chain cooperation in Indonesia was held in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia. The ceremony was attended by Wu Fei, Chairman of Suntec, Rahmat Kaimuddin, Deputy Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and Transport of the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Investment (Kemenko Malbes), and Shinta Wijaya Kamdani, Vice Chairman for Maritime, Investment and Foreign Affairs of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KADIN Indonesia), and the three representatives participated in the signing of the cooperation agreement.
At the ceremony, Wu Fei highlighted China’s leadership in the global green energy transition, driven by China’s strong manufacturing and technological capabilities. He noted that the cooperation is aligned with Indonesia’s sustainable development goals and will bring new opportunities to China’s photovoltaic industry. By bringing China’s entire photovoltaic industry chain to Indonesia, Suntech aims to combine Chinese technology with the Indonesian market and increase the attractiveness and growth potential of Indonesia’s photovoltaic sector. Indonesian authorities welcomed the cooperation, viewing it as a means to introduce advanced technology and expertise to the country, promote energy transformation and gain policy support.
Wu Fei also reiterated that Suntech is committed to the “globalization + localization” strategy, focusing on optimizing global resource allocation and developing diversified markets. He emphasized that partnering with the Indonesian government is an important aspect of Suntech’s global strategy, given Indonesia’s great development potential and strong demand for renewable energy. As a tier 1 PV module manufacturer, Suntech aims to introduce China’s advanced PV technology and industry expertise to Indonesia, driving the country’s green energy transition and creating cross-border power supply opportunities to neighboring countries such as Singapore.
Suntech was founded in 2001 and was one of the first Chinese solar power companies to expand overseas. Currently, the company has a global presence, operating in over 100 countries and regions, including Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Australia and Japan. Suntech’s cumulative shipments exceed 50GW. The company’s products are highly regarded for their quality; according to a study by the Polish Academy of Sciences, power plants supplied by Suntech experienced less than 3% degradation in power generation after 16 years of operation.
Going forward, Suntech plans to strengthen its collaboration with Indonesia by introducing high-quality Chinese suppliers, strengthening Indonesia’s solar manufacturing supply chain, and accelerating energy transformation and industrial upgrading. Suntech remains committed to standing the test of time as it continues to expand its global footprint.
