Dr. Chuan Lu, Chairman & CEO of Astronergy, and a Director of CHINT Group, says the company’s next phase of growth will include green fuels and virtual power plants.
As the company celebrates its 20th anniversary, how is CHINT Green Energy responding to solar PV market fluctuations to maintain profitability?
Dr. Lu: Since entering the renewable energy sector in 2006, CHINT has recognized that the solar industry is cyclical. That’s why we’ve been committed to building a more resilient business model from day one — not chasing short-term growth but building for the long haul.
Today, CHINT operates an end-to-end value chain, from silicon materials and wafers upstream, to solar cells and modules, inverters and BESS, as well as to project development, EPC, and O&M downstream. This integrated approach creates strong industrial synergies and equips us to navigate market cycles with greater confidence.
CHINT is also the only enterprise group globally listed in BloombergNEF’s Tier 1 rankings for PV modules, inverters, and energy storage simultaneously — a reflection of our global competitiveness and long-term credibility.
