Sungrow Enters into Partnership with The Nature Conservancy to Plant Bamboo and Trees at Panda National Park in China

In an effort to protect biodiversity, inverter and energy storage solution supplier for renewables Sungrow has entered into a partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to plant bamboo and trees covering over 33 hectares in 5 years at Panda National Park in Deyang, China’s Sichuan province.

The giant panda is the rarest member of the bear family and is among the world’s most threatened animals. Deyang Panda National Park not only houses the giant panda, but it’s also the home to many other animal species.

However, natural disasters, including earthquakes, landslides, and debris flow may pose challenges to them. The 33 hectares of bamboo and trees will accelerate the park’s reforestation and absorb 7,500 tons of carbon dioxide in the next three decades.

As a dedicated global citizen with robust corporate responsibility initiatives, Sungrow closely aligns with UNGCs principles of biodiversity target-setting.

Commenting on the partnership, Cao Renxian, Chairman of Sungrow, said, “protecting the habitat for rare animals like the giant panda is a contribution to enrich biodiversity. We are grateful for TNC’s support and we look forward to teaming up with more international non-profit organizations to tackle the climate crisis.”

The company also said that it ensures the PV projects it supplied are truly sustainable across the spectrum of ecological objectives and financeable into the future. For example, some projects it powers can turn the desert into a pasture, turn collapsed coal mines into floating solar farms, and rehabilitate contaminated land.

The company, which was founded in 1997 by University Professor Cao Renxian, is the world’s most bankable inverter brand with over 224 GW installed worldwide as of December 2021. It is among the leaders in the research and development of solar inverters with the largest dedicated R&D team in the industry and a broad product portfolio offering PV inverter solutions and Energy Storage Systems (ESS) for utility-scale, commercial & industrial, and residential applications, as well as internationally recognized floating PV plant solutions, NEV driving solutions and EV charging station solutions. With a strong 25-year track record in the PV space, the company is having its presence in more than 150 countries.
