XI'AN, China, Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On November 25, Raystech Group Pty. Ltd. ("Raystech"), one of Australia's leading photovoltaic distributors, signed a groundbreaking strategic cooperation agreement with LONGi Green Energy Technology Co., Ltd. ("LONGi") at LONGi's headquarters in Xi'an.
The agreement, signed by Raystech's Chairman, Mark Miao, and Daniel Lin, Managing Director of LONGi's Australian subsidiary, represents a significant milestone in the partnership between the two companies. The signing ceremony was witnessed by senior leaders from both organisations, including LONGi's Chairman Zhong Baoshen, President of the Distributed Business Group Jiang Dongyu, and Global Marketing Head for Distributed Business Huo Yan.
A Strategic Shift for the Australian Solar Market
This exclusive partnership marks a transformative shift in LONGi's distribution strategy for the residential and small C&I sectors. Starting in 2025, Raystech will become the sole distributor of LONGi's solar modules in Australia. In turn, Raystech will exclusively feature LONGi products in its solar module portfolio.
While this move represents a new approach to distribution, LONGi's presence and commitment to the Australian market remain unchanged. Current customers as well as new, will continue to benefit from LONGi's support in sales, marketing, product and warranty claims still managed locally by LONGi's dedicated Australian team, ensuring the same level of trusted support as always.
This innovative collaboration is driven by the mutual goal of creating a competitive edge in a dynamic market. By combining LONGi's technological leadership with Raystech's extensive distribution and warehousing network, the partnership aims to:
- Ensure Consistent Stock Availability Nationwide: With warehouses in every state and major city, including remote areas underserved by other distributors, Raystech guarantees reliable access to LONGi products for customers across Australia.
- Stabilise Pricing and Enhanced Service: A streamlined distribution model will provide uniform pricing and consistent service quality, benefiting solar installers and end-users alike.
- Introduce Advanced Solar Technology: The partnership will debut LONGi's cutting-edge HPBC 2.0 modules in Australia in 2025, delivering high efficiency and reliability to meet diverse energy needs.
Why This Matters for Australia
Australia's solar market is at a pivotal point, with over 30% of residential homes adopting solar systems and continued growth opportunities in both residential and commercial sectors. This partnership addresses key market challenges:
- Improved Supply Chain Efficiency: Leveraging Raystech's infrastructure ensures product availability even in remote regions, supporting Australia's ambitious renewable energy goals.
- Simplified Offerings for Installers and End-Users: The exclusive model reduces complexity, helping installers confidently deliver premium products to their customers.
- Enhanced Customer Experience: Consistent service and access to innovative technologies will elevate the overall value delivered to Australian solar customers.
A Vision for the Future
Raystech, founded in 2019, has quickly risen as a global renewable energy brand with a robust sales network and the distinction of being named Best Distributor by EUPD in 2023 and 2024. LONGi, renowned for its commitment to innovation and quality, has been a key player in Australia since establishing its Sydney-based subsidiary in 2019.
"LONGi has always been at the forefront of technological advancements," said Raystech Chairman Mark Miao. "This partnership exemplifies the power of collaboration, bringing our shared vision for a sustainable energy future to life."
LONGi Chairman Zhong Baoshen added, "Our exclusive agreement with Raystech reflects our commitment to delivering consistent quality and service to the Australian market. Together, we will set new benchmarks for innovation, reliability, and customer satisfaction."
A Collaborative Path Ahead
This strategic cooperation is just the beginning of a long-term journey. By aligning their strengths, LONGi and Raystech aim to contribute to the sustainable development of Australia's photovoltaic industry, fostering a healthier and more competitive ecosystem.

LONGi and Raystech Announce Exclusive Strategic Partnership to Transform Australia's Solar Market

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda reveals that Vietnam is becoming an increasingly popular year-end travel choice for families in the region and beyond. Based on searches made between September and November 2025 for stays during December 2025 and January 2026, Agoda recorded a 30% increase in family travel interest to Vietnam compared with the same period the previous year.
Agoda data shows that Vietnam is attracting more international families than ever this winter holiday season. South Koreans take the lead as the top market interested in traveling to Vietnam in December and January, with families from India, Singapore, Australia, and Malaysia rounding out the top five. Notably, Agoda reported that Indian families showcased the highest growth in travel interest to Vietnam during this period, with a 186% increase in searches. Malaysians also, are expressing strong growth in interest, with a 74% increase in searches, highlighting Vietnam's appeal as a family destination in Southeast Asia and beyond.
Families are choosing Vietnam for its storied culture and cuisine, diverse landscapes, and abundance of family-friendly resorts and attractions.
Phu Quoc Island leads as the most sought-after destination among international family travelers with a 47% increase in searches, popular for its sandy beaches, calm waters, and nature parks ideal for multi-generation vacations. Da Nang follows with 42% growth in travel interest, noted for its beaches, soft adventure activities, and access to Ba Na Hills theme park. Nha Trang comes in third place, remaining a favorite for its long coastline, family-oriented resorts, and island experiences. In fourth place, Ho Chi Minh City appeals with its vibrant food scene, entertainment complexes, and day trips to the Mekong Delta. In the north, Hanoi continues to draw families with its cultural landmarks, museums, and festive atmosphere, rounding out the top five most family-friendly year-end destinations in Vietnam.
Meanwhile, although Vietnamese families traditionally travel less internationally at the end of the year – typically preferring to wait for the Lunar New Year - China is becoming a noticeable exception. Among the top 20 outbound destinations preferred by Vietnamese families during the December-January period, searches for Shanghai increased 58%, while Beijing increased 59%. This shift is supported by the launch of new direct routes between Hanoi and selected Chinese cities earlier this year, making end-of-year overseas trips more accessible than ever.
Vu Ngoc Lam, Country Director at Agoda, said: "It is wonderful to see Vietnam increasingly chosen as an end-of-year holiday destination for families from across Asia and beyond. Agoda's data shows that travelers are recognizing Vietnam's family-friendly appeal, which further strengthen its position on the global travel map. As more families plan their festive-season or year-end getaways, we are delighted to support them through Agoda's simple, intuitive platform and our wide range of stays, flights, and activities."
With over 6 million properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities, all bookable in one seamless itinerary, Agoda helps families plan memorable year-end holidays, whether they choose a peaceful beach break, a cultural city escape, or an international exploration to mark the close of the year.
