BYD EXPANDS ENERGY STORAGE PARTNER PROGRAMME, UNVEILS NEW PRODUCTS

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 18 (Bernama) -- BYD Co Ltd has expanded its partner programme for BYD Energy Storage solutions recently during a partner conference at its headquarters.

In November this year, the company hosted the conference, providing an opportunity for partners to share their experiences, engage with the technical team, and receive an exclusive preview of upcoming products and features.

BYD Energy Storage general manager, Yin Xiaoqiang said the company is committed to continuous investment in research and development (R&D), as well as in production facilities, to ensure its energy storage solutions are not only leading the innovation curve but also produced with the highest safety standards and in a cost-efficient way.

“Another important factor in our product development is active dialogue with our partners and customers. Therefore, regular meetings with partners from the distribution and installation sector, are part of our partner programme.

“We take their feedback and insights seriously and advance our solutions to help them address current and future demands in the efficient use and storage of renewable energy,” he said in a statement.

A key goal of the conference was to gain insights into current market challenges the partners are facing and how the energy storage solutions can assist in overcoming them. Many wholesalers and installers reported that customer hesitations to invest into photovoltaic (PV) and related technology has been a barrier due to a current market slowdown.

However, they confirmed that solutions such as the BatteryBox series have been instrumental in attracting customers, as the demand for integrated PV and energy storage solutions continues to grow.

The high charging power of the BYD BatteryBox systems was also highlighted as a significant advantage, especially in light of trends like bidirectional charging and dynamic electricity pricing.

In addition to the user conference and a tour of BYD’s headquarters, partners were given a look behind the scenes at one of its most advanced production facilities in Nanning, specialising in the R&D and manufacturing of energy storage cells and systems from May 2023.
