SYDNEY, Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, the global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, has announced the signing of major distribution agreements with Raystech Group and Solar Juice Group. Under these agreements, Raystech Group (1GWh) and Solar Juice Group (700MWh) will distribute a combined total of 1.7 GWh of Sungrow’s C&I energy storage systems over the next three years. These agreements mark a significant step in Sungrow’s commitment to supporting Australia’s clean energy transition through key partnerships in the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector.

Sungrow hosted two significant signing ceremonies on November 18th and 19th, attended by Mr. Renxian Cao, Chairman of Sungrow, Mr. Mark Miao, CEO of Raystech Group, Mr. Rami Fedda, Co-Founder and Supply Director of Solar Juice Group, and Joe Zhou, Country Director of Sungrow Australia, alongside key industry leaders and stakeholders.

Raystech Group will leverage its technical expertise and robust logistics capabilities to ensure flexible and timely deployment of Sungrow’s energy storage systems. The agreement will also support Raystech’s plans to enhance C&I project capabilities. At the signing ceremony, Mark Miao, CEO of Raystech Group, stated: “Raystech has strengthened its partnership with Sungrow, not only on residential inverters and batteries but now expanded to commercial projects. Following a C&I market discussion with Professor Renxian, Raystech is committed to advancing innovation in the sector.

Rami Fedda, Co-Founder and Supply Director of Solar Juice said: “Sungrow has been a key supplier over the past three years for both residential inverters and batteries. Solar Juice has always held a significant market share in distributing commercial inverters for Australia’s C&I Rooftop market, with the majority in recent times being Sungrow products. It made perfect sense for Solar Juice to also offer Sungrow’s commercial battery storage solutions. This will further strengthen our relationship and drive more volume.”

The company has grown from a local software outsourcing firm into a trusted global partner, providing cutting-edge solutions in AI, IoT, and Fintech.

Criteria for choosing an innovative and reliable software partner

Proven track records

When selecting an innovative software partner, one of the first aspects to consider is their proven track record. This includes evaluating the company’s profile and reputation within the industry, which can provide insights into their reliability and credibility. The number of years the company has been in the software industry is another critical indicator of their experience and long-term stability. Additionally, reviewing relevant case studies can give you a clear understanding of the partner’s ability to deliver successful projects that align with your business goals.

Engineering talents

The strength of a software partner’s engineering talents is a key factor in their ability to deliver on your project’s demands. Assessing the number of engineers in their team provides a sense of their capacity to handle complex and large-scale projects. Beyond quantity, it’s essential to evaluate the skills and expertise of their engineers. A diverse team with specialized knowledge in various technologies ensures that the partner can provide innovative and technically sound solutions tailored to your needs. Additionally, their ability to ramp up resources quickly when required is crucial for keeping the project on track and responsive to evolving requirements.

Pricing

Pricing is a critical consideration when choosing a software partner. It’s important to understand the different pricing models they offer, such as fixed-price, time-and-materials, or dedicated teams, and how these models align with your budget and project requirements. Moreover, considering the overall costs, including any hidden fees, will help you make a more informed decision.

Technical expertise

The technical expertise of a software partner is paramount to the success of your project. Evaluating their domain knowledge helps ensure that the partner understands the specific challenges and requirements of your industry. Additionally, assessing their proficiency in the relevant technology stack is vital. A partner who is well-versed in modern technologies and tools will be better equipped to deliver innovative and effective solutions that meet your business needs.

R&D and innovation capabilities

A software partner with strong R&D and innovation capabilities is more likely to bring fresh ideas and cutting-edge solutions to your projects. This capability indicates the partner’s commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and continuously improving their offerings. Engaging with a partner who prioritizes innovation can provide your business with a competitive edge in the market.

Available solutions

It’s important to assess the range of solutions that a software partner offers. A partner with a diverse portfolio, including custom software development, system integration, and product engineering, can provide comprehensive services that meet your various business needs. Having access to a wide array of solutions ensures that the partner can adapt to your evolving requirements and support your business growth.

Quality processes

Quality assurance processes are critical to ensuring the reliability and performance of the software delivered by your partner. Evaluating their approach to software testing, bug tracking, and continuous improvement will give you confidence in their ability to maintain high standards throughout the development process. A partner with robust quality processes will consistently deliver high-performing software that meets or exceeds your expectations.

Security practices

Security is a fundamental aspect of any software partnership, particularly when dealing with sensitive data and critical business operations. Assessing the partner’s security practices, including physical security measures to protect their development environment, network security protocols to prevent unauthorized access, and data security practices such as encryption and compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, is essential. A partner with strong security practices will help safeguard your business against potential threats and ensure the integrity of your software solutions.

Termination Follows Rejection by DISH DBS Noteholders of EchoStar Debt Exchange Offer Terms

DIRECTV to Continue Executing Strategy to Deliver Future of Pay TV to Consumers

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — DIRECTV (the “Company”) today announced that it has notified EchoStar of its election to terminate, effective as of 11:59 p.m., ET on Friday, November 22nd, 2024, the Equity Purchase Agreement (EPA) pursuant to which it had agreed to acquire EchoStar’s video distribution business, DISH DBS (“DISH”). The termination of the Agreement follows DISH DBS noteholders’ failure to agree to the proposed Exchange Debt Offer Terms issued by EchoStar, which was a condition of DIRECTV’s obligations to acquire DISH under the EPA.    

“While we believed a combination of DIRECTV and DISH would have benefitted all stakeholders, we have terminated the transaction because the proposed Exchange Terms were necessary to protect DIRECTV’s balance sheet and our operational flexibility,” said Bill Morrow, CEO of DIRECTV. “DIRECTV will advance our mission to aggregate, curate, and distribute content tailored to customers’ interests by pursuing innovative products and providing customers with additional choice, flexibility, and control. We are well positioned for the future with a strong balance sheet and support from our long-term partner TPG.”

DIRECTV will continue to invest in next-generation streaming platforms and revolutionize the industry through new packaging options while integrating content from live TV alongside direct-to-consumer services.

The termination of the DISH acquisition does not affect TPG’s acquisition of the remaining 70% stake in DIRECTV from AT&T, which is expected to close in the second half of 2025.

About DIRECTV

As a leader in sports and entertainment for 30 years, DIRECTV provides industry-leading content and an amazing user experience with or without a satellite. By reimagining what is possible, DIRECTV’s mission is to aggregate, curate and deliver exceptional, innovative service tailored to customers’ interests. In 2023, DIRECTV elevated the customer experience by delivering Gemini, which can integrate customers’ content from their third-party streaming services onto a single one-stop, digital experience. At DIRECTV, the sports season never ends, and customers are treated to broadcasts of several major sports, including the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, and multiple domestic and international soccer leagues. DIRECTV provides customers the choice of watching sports, movies, and TV shows on their TVs at home or their favorite mobile devices via the DIRECTV app.
