BEIJING: Dirk Heil, a resident living in the small town of Schwarzenbek in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, has been using solar-powered equipment made by Chinese companies in recent months as an energy solution. Thanks to the Belt and Road Initiative, these high-quality and fairly priced products from China have entered German households by sea or by taking China-Europe freight trains.
Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd. and Beny New Energy Co., Ltd., two Chinese companies that produce solar-related equipment, have ramped up their production to meet the growing demands of domestic and international markets. Many of their products have entered the German market.
As electricity prices rise in Europe, using solar-powered equipment helps reduce the cost of electricity. Dirk said that the equipment is easy to install and can help him save on electricity bills. “This is the first time I have had solar power in my house, and I am delighted with it.”
