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 developed an interest in the Australian energy and construction sectors more than a decade ago and have since closely followed the trends, technologies and developments shaping both industries. My involvement in the Australian solar market began in 2008, and over the years I have built strong connections with professionals, businesses and organisations across the construction, solar and renewable energy sectors in Australia and internationally. These connections include solar panel and inverter manufacturers, electrical and construction industry professionals, software developers creating tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems, and media organisations that closely follow developments across energy, construction and renewable technologies. Today, I continue to contribute as an industry advocate, author and commentator, sharing practical insights and information to help Australian consumers and businesses better understand solar power, energy technologies, construction-related developments and the changing Australian energy landscape.
