The firm has emerged as a strong player from its base in China, establishing 2 R&D centers in Xi’an and Munich, Germany. With more than 10 major scientific research projects such as the National 863 Program and Science and Technology Support Program behind it, the firm also claims to have presided over the  drafting of many national standards and won more than 300 patents of various kinds in China.

This new 2GW manufacturing facility of the Chinese maker of inverters, high-voltage SVGs, energy routers and flexible DC transmission equipment will be located in Bidadi town in Bengaluru,around 5KM from the Electronic City.
