Biography
Zhengrong Shi is a central figure to the development of the Chinese and global photovoltaic industry. Over his decorated 30-year career, Shi founded Suntech and built the photovoltaic ecosystem in China. “Qiushi” magazine praised Shi and Suntech as strategic scientific, technological leaders and “a banner of the PV industry.” Academic Researchers of Tsinghua University refer to Suntech as the “root firm” that created the “foundational spark,” which birthed the Chinese ecosystem for solar. In view of his outstanding achievements, Shi was elected as an academician of the Australian Academy of Technology, Science and Engineering in 2009. Shi was also awarded the “Lifetime Achievement Person of China’s Energy Meritorious Service” and the “China Enterprise Reform Medal for 40 Years of Reform”.
Shi’s Achievements and main contributions to engineering science and technology:
• Published more than 110 scientific papers and applied for more than 80 patents.
• Presided over and participated in 40 national, provincial and Wuxi science and technology projects.
• Mentored 35 postgraduates and more than 200 various engineering and technical personnel.
Shi’s Contributions to China’s engineering science and technology industry:
1. Commercialization and industrialization of key technologies: Shi led Suntech to become a pioneer of the global PV industry, defining technology and quality standards, while driving the rise of China’s PV industry to national importance. Shi was awarded the second prize of the “National Science and Technology Progress Award” and the first prize of the “Jiangsu Science and Technology Progress Award.”
2. Promotion of Global Scientific and Technological Exchanges and Cooperation: Shi helped establish Australia’s National Key Photovoltaic Industry to facilitate technological cooperation between Australia and China. In addition, Shi helped facilitate cross-border cooperation with University of New South Wales and Swineburn University over 30 projects.
3. China-Based yet Globally Minded: Shi led China’s PV Industry to pioneer international markets and lead the world in technology. Shi also catalyzed the development of China’s PV ecosystem by guiding domestic and foreign capital investment.

中国光伏及新能源发展现状和未来趋势
从人类发展的角度,解析新能源应用的必然性,城市中将会做到“电从身边来”、让城市用户成为能源的“产消者”、“光伏+”的应用场景蕴含着无限潜力,随着技术快速进步,可再生能源未来使用成本将更低廉,当新能源与储能技术、绿色建筑和物流交通等相结合,可使未来电力像Wi-Fi一样免费且便利等核心理念。
