TCL Solar, a company specialising in solar module production, announced the signing of two strategic distribution agreements aimed at strengthening its presence in Pakistan. The Chinese company will supply its two new local partners, AU Solar Solution Pvt. Ltd. and Madina Solar Pvt. Ltd., with a combined volume of solar modules reaching 250 megawatts (MW) by 2025.

National ambitions for solar power

The Pakistani government has set an ambitious target of generating five gigawatts (GW) of solar energy by the end of 2025, as part of a broader policy aiming to increase the share of renewable energies to 60% by 2030. With around 3,000 annual sunshine hours in certain regions, the country enjoys considerable solar potential, driving local demand for photovoltaic technologies.

Through these agreements, TCL Solar aims to efficiently meet Pakistan’s growing energy needs, both industrially and agriculturally. The signed contracts clearly outline responsibilities: AU Solar will distribute 150MW, while Madina Solar will handle the remaining 100MW.

Technological and operational complementarity

Based on technological and operational complementarity, this alliance leverages TCL Solar’s expertise in research and development, as well as its vertically integrated international production capacity. TCL Solar already has proven experience on multiple continents in the photovoltaic sector, enabling it to offer technological solutions tailored to various markets.

AU Solar, strongly positioned in agricultural solar applications, has extensive territorial coverage, especially in rural areas. Meanwhile, Madina Solar has specialised for ten years in residential and commercial photovoltaic installations, particularly in major urban centres such as Lahore and Karachi.

Adaptability to local market needs

Adnan Zia, Chief Executive Officer of AU Solar, stated that “the technological diversity offered by TCL Solar allows precise matching of each customer’s requirements, whether for urban or rural applications.” For his part, Ali Raza, Chief Executive Officer of Madina Solar, believes this partnership “combines world-class innovation with recognised local expertise, thus providing solar solutions perfectly adapted to Pakistan’s energy context.”

The conclusion of these distribution agreements comes at a time marked by Pakistan’s growing willingness to diversify its energy mix and progressively reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The integration of TCL Solar’s technological capabilities into the existing distribution networks of AU Solar and Madina Solar could therefore play a key role in this national energy transition.
