On September 5, 2024, the opening ceremony of the "Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC)" Summit was held in Beijing. Ms. Shirley Zhang, Chairman of OSDA, attended the summit as the only invited entrepreneur from Ningbo City.
OSDA, a leading global provider of integrated smart energy solutions, has once again been recognized as a Bloomberg Tier 1 photovoltaic (PV) manufacturer and crowned as a top PV brand by EUPD. Before entering different markets, the company conducts thorough research and analysis, developing integrated solutions tailored to the diverse needs of various scenarios to provide high-quality products and services.
African countries generally face energy shortages, yet are rich in renewable energy resources. Solar energy reserves in Africa account for 40% of the global total. Currently, solar energy is the fastest-growing renewable energy source in Africa and has become a key focus in China-Africa clean energy cooperation.
Since entering the African market in 2012, OSDA has been one of the first Chinese photovoltaic companies to do so. In terms of PV module products, OSDA was among the first companies worldwide to develop N-type module technology. Its flagship product, the Osda N series, boasts a mass production efficiency of over 23%, placing it at the industry's leading level. In response to local challenges such as unstable power grids and electricity shortages, OSDA provides cost-effective on-grid, off-grid, and energy storage integrated solutions to help residents overcome power shortages. Through customized solutions, OSDA precisely meets local electricity needs in Africa. For energy transition needs in high-energy-consuming industries, such as mining, OSDA offers integrated source-network-load-storage solutions, helping Africa improve its people's quality of life. To address issues such as severe surface water pollution and a lack of drinking water in some African countries, OSDA has developed a "PV microgrid & water purification" system solution to help combat water shortages.
OSDA practices the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) concept, actively participating in welfare projects both domestically and internationally, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. By donating "PV power generation systems" and "PV & water purification systems" to local hospitals, schools, and other institutions, OSDA promotes quality education and contributes to community well-being, earning a strong reputation and brand image while demonstrating corporate responsibility.
Looking ahead, OSDA will align with national initiatives, actively explore the integration of China-Africa industry chains, and promote green development. The company will continue to focus on the Asian, African, and Latin American markets, remaining customer-oriented while leveraging its technological research and development advantages. By continuously innovating, OSDA aims to provide African people with higher-quality integrated smart energy solutions. Through its growing presence in the African market, the company will further explore local supply chain resources, foster mutually beneficial partnerships, create job opportunities, and improve the quality of life for local communities, helping countless households access green energy.
