In the past five years, Suntech's PV modules have received over RMB 3.7 billion (US$545 million) of underwriting services, globally through Ping An and Munich Re, according to Suntech.

Suntech noted that it had signed module supply agreements with several international renewable energy companies in 2018, including, Bester, Voltalia and Enerray, amongst others that are building projects in countries such as France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Egypt and India.

The module manufacturer also participated in the annual ‘PV Module Reliability Scorecard’ testing, done by DNV GL. Suntech had previously noted that reliability tests covered by the scorecard included triple IEC thermal cycle, humidity thermal, UV illuminant test, dynamic mechanical load, PID attenuation and hot spot test. After the 18-month rough PQP tests, Suntech's modules were said to have done well in reliability and product performance.

PV Tech has been running an annual PV CellTech Conference since 2016. PV CellTech USA, on 7-8 October 2025 is our third PV CellTech conference dedicated to the U.S. manufacturing sector. The events in 2023 and 2024 were a sell out success and 2025 will once again gather the key stakeholders from PV manufacturing, equipment/materials, policy-making and strategy, capital equipment investment and all interested downstream channels and third-party entities. The goal is simple: to map out PV manufacturing in the U.S. out to 2030 and beyond.
