Manila, Philippines, 29 October 2025 – As part of its goal to strengthen renewable energy cooperation between China and the Philippines, New Energy Nexus in partnership with the People of Asia for Climate Solutions (PACS), through the Climate Actions in Renewable Energy (CARE) Project, hosted solar training partners and program alumni in the Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Workshop held in China from October 13 to 16, 2025.
The four-day workshop immersed participants in the latest developments in solar PV technologies with one of China’s pioneering solar panel manufacturers. The sessions also provided insights into emerging trends in distributed renewable energy (DRE), solar manufacturing, and potential areas for collaboration between Chinese and Philippine enterprises.

“This experience reflects our ongoing commitment to empowering our training partners and alumni with global perspectives and technical expertise. Learning from one of the world’s most advanced solar markets, we hope that these technologies and insights can be adopted and made available in the Philippines, helping our local solar industry champions continue to grow and evolve,” said Jacob Taguinod, Partnerships Manager of New Energy Nexus Philippines.
“The PV workshop in China was inspiring, humbling, and deeply encouraging. It showed us how passionate entrepreneurs can unite around a shared vision for renewable innovation and how advanced PV technology has already become, from solar benches to zero-carbon housing.”
These experiences are critical stepping stones that have bolstered our resolve. They encourage us (solar installers) to push beyond mere profit and focus instead on ambitious advocacy. Having seen these advanced solutions realized in practice, we now know the future we envision for our country is not a distant concept, but a tangible reality we can immediately begin to implement,” said Richmond Reyes, President of EcoSolutions Philippines.
