Solar Power, Inc. (SPI) expands its online experience from Solarbao to the next-generation online platform “Lvdiantong,” a service offering Chinese households to pay for retail electricity from renewable sources over the Internet.
As part of SPI' Solarbao, Lvdiantong allows users to pay for solar-generated electricity at discounted rates as compared to other traditional channels. Leveraging Solarbao's online and mobile platforms, Lvdiantong provides Chinese consumers with the convenience of anytime, anywhere online payment. The tool is believed to attract more Chinese to use solar power.
"Lvdiantong is the only convenient energy payment system in China which brings the benefits of sustainable green energy directly to ordinary households," said Xiaofeng Peng, Chairman of SPI. "By leveraging the Internet to connect households with renewable energy from solar PV projects, Lvdiantong allows Chinese retail customers to enjoy discounted electricity bills while also reducing their carbon footprint."
Following the April 2015 launch of SolarTao, SPI's B2B e-commerce platform offering a wide range of PV products for both upstream and downstream suppliers and customers, today's announcement is the next step in SPI's strategy to establish a Internet-enabled ecosystem comprising generation, storage, and sales of green energy. So far, more than 100 green energy projects and financing products have been accessed by Solarbao.
