Antaisolar participates U-Solar 2.0 as the only mounting system supplier, joint hands with other module and inverter suppliers to bring industrial-recognized solar products and services, aiming to activate the Thailand solar market.
UOB launched the U-Solar in 2020 as the first integrated solar financing program that empowers the solar industry in the SEA region.

By 2023, Antaisolar's cumulative solar racking system shipments in the SEA region achieved 3080MW, while global shipments reached 25.4GW, what behind the numbers is the recognization from customers all over the world.
