Additionally, MEAN WELL's home energy storage solutions leverage renewable energy and advanced storage technologies to effectively balance electricity supply and demand, thereby improving energy efficiency and reducing costs.Hsieh mentioned that MEAN WELL's product strategy revolves around the concept of "4S + 3 Highs." "4S" stands for systems, software, solutions, and service, while the "3 Highs" refer to high production efficiency, high added value, and high price/performance ratio. This strategy is also reflected in the design of MEAN WELL's products in the areas of green energy, energy conservation, and energy storage. By enhancing the quality of its hardware products and integrating software and safety verification services, MEAN WELL delivers comprehensive and effective system solutions to the customers.To further enhance service quality, MEAN WELL not only develops software and hardware products but also leverages the resources of its affiliated companies, such as PowerNex Precision Technology and SHARE WELL (including SHARE WELL Green Power Technology and SHARE WELL Certification), to offer integrated, one-stop services. For instance, Hsieh mentioned that the NTN-5K Off-Grid Industrial Grade 2-in-1 Charging Inverter can be seamlessly combined with solar panels and MPPT charge controllers from MEAN WELL's partners, creating highly efficient and stable solutions. This integration simplifies the procurement process for customers, ensures compatibility and stability of all system components, and improves overall performance and reliability.In addition, MEAN WELL has set up product consultation sections in the C3 Green Technology Hall and the C4 Product & Technical Service Center to quickly answer users' questions and help customers to build systems that meet their needs. In this way, customers can communicate directly with MEAN WELL's professional team to customize solutions. Moreover, MEAN WELL provides comprehensive after-sales services and technical support to ensure that the performance of its products is fully utilized to maximize energy efficiency.Hsieh concluded that, with advancements in green energy, energy conservation, and energy storage technologies, MEAN WELL will persist in its investment in research and development. The company will enhance its "4S + 3 Highs" strategy and bolster the integration of software and hardware. MEAN WELL is committed to delivering smarter and more efficient energy solutions to its customers and strengthening collaboration within its corporate group. The company aims to broaden the scope of its comprehensive services and contribute significantly to energy transformation and industry development, as articulated by Hsieh.
