LYON, FRANCE – TCL SunPower Global has announced a strategic partnership with Bellsolar, a leading solar distributor in Réunion Island, to deploy high-quality residential solar systems and smart home energy storage solutions. The collaboration aims to accelerate sustainable energy adoption, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, and strengthen community resilience against energy disruptions.
The partnership was formalized during a signing ceremony attended by Mr. Johnny, President of the Chinese Business Association in Réunion, underscoring the role of international cooperation in advancing sustainable development. TCL solar panels and SunPower home energy storage systems will now be available through Bellsolar’s Store 109 retail network, enabling wider access to affordable, clean energy technology for local households.
“Réunion Island’s abundant sunlight and strong clean energy policies make it an ideal location for solar adoption,” said Steven Zhang, General Manager of TCL SunPower Global. “This partnership is a strategic step in our mission to deliver scalable, impact-driven growth in emerging markets.”
Advancing Energy Independence and Environmental Protection
Currently, over one-third of Réunion Island’s electricity comes from renewable sources, but the region still depends heavily on imported fossil fuels. This partnership directly supports the island’s 2030 target of achieving 100% renewable electricity by:
-
Expanding access to residential solar PV and energy storage solutions.
-
Reducing strain on the grid during peak demand through smart storage systems.
-
Improving energy system resilience in a region prone to infrastructure disruptions.
Beyond environmental benefits, the initiative will create local jobs, promote energy equity, and enhance living standards. Protecting the island’s fragile ecosystem, known for its unique biodiversity, is an added benefit of reducing fossil fuel dependency.
“Bellsolar is proud to collaborate with TCL SunPower Global to bring advanced energy solutions to the people of Réunion,” said a spokeperson of Bellsolar. “Our deep understanding of the local market, combined with TCL SunPower’s cutting-edge technology, will enable us to deliver meaningful impact in the region’s energy transition.”
“This partnership represents a strategic step in our mission to deliver long-term value through clean energy innovation,” said Steven Zhang, General Manager of TCL SunPower Global. “Réunion Island’s abundant sunlight and strong political support for clean energy adoption make it an ideal location for solar PV applications. By expanding access to residential smart solutions in the region, we’re not only supporting local communities—we’re reinforcing our commitment to scalable, impact-driven growth in emerging markets.”
Strategic Importance
This partnership strengthens TCL SunPower Global’s international expansion, reinforcing its position as a leading player in clean residential energy solutions. It highlights how business growth and sustainability goals can align to deliver measurable social, economic, and environmental benefits.
