Huawei Digital Power, in its latest move to champion solar energy, convened the Huawei FusionSolar Forum & Partner Summit 2024 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Under the theme “Open a New Era of Solar,” the summit witnessed a pledge to collaborate closely with partners to translate this vision into reality.
Xia Hesheng, President of Huawei Digital Power Sub-Saharan Africa Region, emphasized the pivotal role of carbon neutrality and intelligence in propelling humanity toward an era of ecological civilization. Highlighting the imminent advent of ‘PV+ Storage parity,’ he underscored the economic viability and universality of PV + energy storage as the preeminent power solution.
Having revolutionized connectivity in Africa over the past two decades, Huawei now aims to harness the convergence of digital and power electronics technologies across Utility, Commercial & Industrial (C&I), and Residential sectors. Mr. Xia reaffirmed Huawei’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technologies, ensuring product safety throughout the lifecycle, and fostering long-term, stable local operations.
In line with its ecological strategy, Huawei unveiled plans to forge a partnership ecosystem grounded in trust, mutual benefit, simplicity, and growth.
