JinkoSolar Holding Co. Ltd, based in China, has announced a move to Australia with JinkoSolar Australia Co. Ltd being based in Queensland.

The Ormeau office, north of the Gold Coast, will serve as a sales and delivery hub, and house up to 5 megawatts (MW) of photovoltaic solar modules.

David Li, JinkoSolar Chairman, says the company is focused on a physical presence in Australia and will be broadening services and technology through the Queensland location.

“The Australian market is highly orientated towards renewable energy and with the ‘Zero Carbon Australia 2020 Stationary Energy Plan’ we see this as the perfect time to settle in Oz,” said Mr Li.

“We have a diverse customer base including China, Germany, America, Italy, France and Switzerland, and now we can serve the expanding Australian solar market.”

I took an interest in the Australian energy sector close to ten years ago and since then have monitored the trends, technologies and direction of the Australian Energy Market. I was drawn to the Australian solar market in 2008 and since then have worked heavily in the field. I am partnered with national and international solar energy companies, from manufacturers of solar panel and inverter technology, online software developers that introduce tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems and media organisations who like myself, closely monitor the solar and renewable energy sector.
