The global shift towards renewable energy is creating unprecedented opportunities for professionals on the front lines. In a significant gathering for the solar industry, more than 1,200 partners and installers from across the globe recently convened to explore the future of photovoltaic and energy storage systems, focusing on the tools and strategies needed for success in a rapidly expanding market.
The event, hosted by Huawei FusionSolar, served as a crucial platform for knowledge exchange, highlighting the installer’s evolving role as a cornerstone of the green energy transition.
Empowering the Last-Mile Value Creators
Kicking off the summit, leadership from Huawei Digital Power set a clear tone: installers are far more than just technicians. They are the “last-mile value creators and deliverers,” directly responsible for the safety, quality, and ultimate success of residential and commercial solar projects.
“The transformation from energy consumers to energy prosumers is one of the most significant shifts for homes and businesses,” said Jack Tong, President of Global Residential and C&I Smart PV & ESS Business. He emphasized Huawei‘s commitment to building a simple and efficient business journey for installers, fostering a collaborative ecosystem for shared success.
Navigating Market Trends with Smart Tools and Support
With the energy storage system (ESS) market experiencing record-high growth and safety requirements becoming stricter, the summit focused heavily on practical support for installers. Allen Zeng, President of Technical Service & Operation, outlined a “three-dimensional service system” designed to help installers achieve business success through simplified installation, professional support, and a focus on long-term profitability.
A key highlight was the introduction of SmartDesign, an online tool that promises to revolutionize the initial stages of a solar project. This platform allows installers to move from concept to a complete business plan in just ten minutes, without needing to be on site. It supports everything from electrical design and 3D modeling to generating detailed return on investment reports, significantly improving communication with potential customers.
Building Brands and Celebrating Success
Recognizing that technical expertise alone is not enough, the summit also dedicated time to the importance of branding and marketing. Huawei Digital Power is actively working with installers in Europe, Asia Pacific, Africa, and Latin America to explore successful joint marketing models, sharing resources and expertise to help businesses grow.
The successful conclusion of the Huawei FusionSolar Creators’ Cup was celebrated with a vibrant award ceremony. The competition saw installers from around the world showcase compelling stories of green and low-carbon development, capturing the real-world impact of their work on the future of sustainable living.
More than just a conference, the summit solidified a vital partnership between technology providers and the global installer community. By fostering cross-market knowledge exchange and aligning on strategy and innovation, the event underscored a shared commitment to accelerating the digital transformation of energy and building a better, greener future for all.
