This collaboration aims to explore the business opportunities under Huawei’s cutting-edge Digital Power-Smart Photovoltaic (“PV”) solutions in fostering sustainability practices across residential as well as commercial and industrial (“C&I”) sectors.
The Smart PV system seamlessly integrates digital technologies into solar power systems for optimised energy generation and enhanced efficiency, as well as in facilitating remote monitoring and management of solar power systems. This advancement in energy digitalisation paves the way for a more reliable and efficient energy ecosystem.
Under the MoU, Huawei Malaysia will act as the technology advisor for the Smart PV systems, complemented by JJ-LAPP as the authorised value-added partner to enhance the reach and impact of the solutions within the targeted segments. Meanwhile, leveraging Unitrade’s expertise as a wholesaler and distributor, the Group will serve as the distribution partner in facilitating broader market access for the Smart PV systems.
Executive Director of Unitrade, Mr. Simson Sim Xian Zhi [沈贤智] said, “Our collaboration with Huawei Malaysia and JJ-LAPP marks our continued focus on environmentally responsible business ventures. This partnership underscores Unitrade’s commitment to seizing innovative opportunities within green technology, thereby expanding the Group’s product portfolio to include PV modules. By continuously implementing practices for zero pollution and reducing reliance on traditional power sources, we strive to foster eco-friendly practices within both residential and C&I sectors.”
“At Unitrade, sustainability remains a key aspect of our business practice. As part of our commitment, we have implemented solar PV systems in our industrial complex, as well as integrated electric vehicle (“EV”) forklifts into our operations. Upholding our sustainability values, we are steadfast in aligning with Malaysia’s Net Zero target by 2050, aiming to contribute to the nation’s green transition efforts.”
Vice President of Huawei Malaysia Digital Power Business, Mr. Chong Chern Peng said, “In line with Malaysia’s commitment to the energy transition agenda, we are cognisant of the importance of technological advancements in promoting green energy adoption.
