Suntech is a Chinese solar panel manufacturer that was founded in 2001 by Dr. Zhengrong Shi. With 22 years of experience in the solar industry, Suntech is often credited as being the first company in China to commercialize solar panel manufacturing, establishing and growing the solar industry in China and worldwide. The company achieved this by offering innovative technology, high-quality, and low-cost solar panels that made solar energy more accessible and affordable to homeowners and corporations alike. Suntech’s success has inspired and driven innovation in the solar industry, leading to more cost-effective and efficient solar energy today.

      

In 2005, Suntech went public on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), becoming the first solar panel manufacturer from China to do so. This successful IPO established Suntech as a major player in the renewable energy industry, leading to rapid growth and expansion over the next few years. The company opened production facilities in China, Europe, and the United States, and its solar panels were used in a wide range of applications.
