Xia Hesheng, President of Huawei Digital Power Sub-Saharan Africa Region, spoke of the global importance of carbon neutrality, and of countries’ pursuit of energy sovereignty. He outlined the huge commercial value of the PV industry which is driving the accelerated development of clean energy. Xia believes Solar Business is a long-term (more than 30 years) and fast-growing industry.
He however cautioned that although businesses can choose to focus on short-term targets, this is not always a winning strategy. “If you want to do a long-term business, you should consider technology, quality, safety, and service”, he said. Xia added that the selection of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is a strategic decision, noting that an OEM with comprehensive strength that can develop together in a long-term, is a better choice.
Furthermore, the President expanded that, the safety of household product is crucial to the owner, installer and channel. Safer products should be the first choice in product selection. Huawei has made Residential Solar Safety Design by prioritizing technology safety, electrical safety, equipment safety, and system safety. Specifically, the AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter), RSD(Rapid Shut Down) make the above rooftop safety; built-in fire extinguishing package, 0V Port before operation, LiFePO4 (LFP) cell, cell Level monitoring make the Below rooftop safety; while the Triple EMC Protection Design (Power port, Signal port, radiation of system) make the Human safety.
Additionally, Xia asserted that quality is the cornerstone of the rapid development of the industry, pointing out that with the increase in sales and installation, the importance of quality will become more prominent. As such, three aspects of quality should be prioritized namely; product quality, delivery quality, and service quality.
According to him, Huawei achieves product quality through product design and component selection because the company believes that end-to-end high-quality target can only be achieved by building quality on processes.
Finally, Xia restated Huawei’s readiness to work with all partners to be a Long-Distance Runner in Renewable Energy Era.
