Frost & Sullivan noted that Suntech was strong in the emerging building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) market, especially after the acquisition of Japanese BIPV specialist MSK in 2006.

Suntech was also mentioned for its capacity expansion plans that could see the PV manufacturer reach 1GW PV cell production capacity by the end of 2008.
