About Us
Take part in our journey to Net-Zero emission!
“Empowering people with solar PV” is a global campaign aimed at engaging people worldwide to learn how they can make a difference in the race to net-zero supporting solar PV’s capacity targets and at the same time becoming more energy independent.
Solar power is key to decarbonizing the global economy and our cities while bringing a vast range of benefits to people, communities, and the planet.
The main focus of the campaign is the uptake of distributed solar PV in the buildings sector, thus mainly rooftop systems in private, public, commercial and industrial buildings.
The Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association (APVIA) is the largest organization representing the photovoltaic industry in Asia. It aims to make the world a sustainable home for all through the use of solar energy by engaging in information and academic exchange, technical consultation, project demonstration, quality standards, market service, education and training.
It was founded on 16 January 2009 as a nonprofit organization consisting of over 300 private sector enterprises, industry associations, research institutes, scientific organizations and other entities from 20 countries in Asia and other regions.
APVIA was formally launched on 31 October 2011 in Singapore. It was granted approval by the Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore and operates under the principle of voluntary enrolment.
The Global Solar Council (GSC) is the voice of the world’s solar energy industry, a non-profit body representing national, regional and international associations as well as leading solar sector corporations.
Founded at the 2015 Paris climate conference as a private-sector response to the climate emergency, GSC bring together associations from both established and emerging markets that represent companies all along the solar supply chain.
