“This is a sign of our long term commitment to the Australian market,” Yu said. “We feel that PV has a strong future in Australia so it’s only natural that we want our own people here. Local contact is very important. KLNE intends to keep growing in Australia in co-operation with our business partners. We’ve done a lot of business in Australia and intend to do much more.”

“After sales service is an area where we intend to excel and for that reason we need premises and staff here. As more and more units are sold, the service aspect becomes very important. People want to know that if anything does goes wrong, there is local help available and available quickly. Our centre here will provide that comfort,” Qi added.
