Risen Energy
Founded in 2002 by Lin Haifeng, Risen Energy listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2010 as one of China's earlier publicly traded solar manufacturers. The firm emerged from Ningbo's industrial base in Zhejiang province and has since expanded its physical footprint to include a production base in Malaysia's Kulim Hi-Tech Park and solar farms in Australia and Vietnam. Risen Energy operates across the photovoltaic value chain with a hybrid model that spans manufacturing and direct project ownership. The firm produces polysilicon, cells, and modules while simultaneously developing and holding utility-scale solar farms. Confirmed assets include the Merredin Solar Farm in Western Australia, the Yarranlea Solar Farm in Queensland, and the Ninh Thuan Solar Power Plant in Vietnam. The firm has also partnered with Green Gold Energy for joint solar development in Australia and with Wasion Energy on energy storage and smart-grid solutions. The firm belongs to the Silicon Module Super League, an elite grouping of the world's largest solar module manufacturers by shipment volume. It maintains a professional base in Ningbo and operates internationally through its Malaysian production hub. The firm joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2021 and holds certification under the Solar Stewardship Initiative's ESG standard. It also participates in Australia's Clean Energy Council as an approved solar retailer and manufacturer. Risen Energy's distinction lies in its dual identity: it is a tier-one module manufacturer supplying global developers and a direct principal investing in and operating the assets its modules equip. This vertical integration creates a feedback loop where in-house project development informs manufacturing specifications, a structure that separates it from pure-play Chinese manufacturers that sell exclusively to third-party developers.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs Risen Energy?
Lin Haifeng is the founder and Chairman of Risen Energy, having established the firm in 2002. He has led the company from its origins as a Ningbo-based manufacturer through its 2010 Shenzhen Stock Exchange listing and its subsequent international expansion. Under his leadership, the firm joined the Silicon Module Super League, a designation reserved for the world's largest solar module producers.
Does Risen Energy operate its own solar farms or just manufacture panels?
Risen Energy does both. It develops and owns utility-scale solar farms directly while also manufacturing photovoltaic products. Confirmed operating assets include the Merredin Solar Farm and Yarranlea Solar Farm in Australia, and the Ninh Thuan Solar Power Plant in Vietnam. This dual posture means the firm acts as a principal investor in downstream generation assets, not merely a supplier to third-party developers.
Where does Risen Energy operate geographically?
Risen Energy's operational footprint spans China, Australia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Its headquarters and primary R&D base remain in Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Manufacturing extends to a production base in Malaysia's Kulim Hi-Tech Park, while its Australian solar farms are located in Western Australia and Queensland. The firm's Vietnamese asset is in Ninh Thuan province.
What is the Silicon Module Super League, and why does membership matter?
The Silicon Module Super League is an industry classification for the world's largest solar module manufacturers by annual shipment volume. Membership signals scale in production capacity and global distribution reach. Risen Energy's inclusion indicates it ranks among the top tier of Chinese solar manufacturers, competing with firms like JinkoSolar, Trina Solar, and LONGi Green Energy.
How is Risen Energy structured from a regulatory and ESG standpoint?
Risen Energy is a publicly listed company on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, subject to Chinese securities regulation and disclosure requirements. It joined the United Nations Global Compact in 2021 and is certified against the Solar Stewardship Initiative's ESG Standard. The firm also operates the Risen Energy Charity Foundation as a separate philanthropic vehicle.
Does Risen Energy partner with external developers or investors?
Yes. In Australia, Risen Energy has a joint development relationship with Green Gold Energy for solar projects. It also maintains a strategic partnership with Wasion Energy focused on energy storage and smart energy solutions. These partnerships extend the firm's reach beyond its wholly owned assets while keeping it involved in project development jointly.
What investment stages or project phases does Risen Energy target?
Risen Energy invests in greenfield development and operational utility-scale solar projects. The firm's model favors direct, principal investments in physical generation assets — primarily solar farms — rather than fund commitments or financial minority stakes. Evidence from its Australian and Vietnamese projects shows a preference for full or majority ownership of large-scale installations.
