As part of SPI’s innovative online energy e-commerce and investment platform, www.solarbao.com (“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.

“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. As more consumers experience the benefits of Lvdiantong, we believe more households across China will use our platform to choose green energy in meeting our country’s growing power needs.”
