Local Manufacturers

KD Components, Technology & Manufacturing Support for Local Solar Thermal Producers

Millionsun supplies absorber sheets, flat plate collector components, and manufacturing support to local producers across multiple regions. Our in-house coating technology — supplying 30% of China’s black absorber market — means we produce the components that go inside the collector, not just the collector itself.

Customer Overview

Local manufacturers around the world are building solar water heating capacity in their own markets. Some are assembling from imported components; others are building full production lines from scratch. In both cases, access to high-quality core components and manufacturing know-how determines whether the locally produced product can compete with imported finished goods on quality and price.

Common Challenges Local Manufacturers Face

How Millionsun Delivers Value to Local Manufacturers?

High-Performance Absorber Sheets — The Core Component

Millionsun runs in-house black selective coating lines. We supply absorber sheets for our own production and other local manufacturers.

Manufacturing Knowledge Support

We share our manufacturing experience to help local producers achieve consistent quality:

Quality Consistency

Every batch of absorber sheets is tested for coating performance before shipment. Component specifications are maintained per product master record — the absorber sheet in batch #10 matches batch

Our Service Capabilities — Built for Manufacturing Partnerships

Millionsun’s absorber coating and component manufacturing capabilities are structured to support local production partners:

How We Helped a Local Manufacturer Launch Flat Plate Collector Production in 6 Months

A manufacturer in Southeast Asia wanted to start producing flat plate collectors locally for their domestic market. They had a metal fabrication facility and a team of 15 technicians, but had no experience with selective coating, collector assembly, or solar thermal testing.
Importing finished collectors from China was their existing business model, but import duties and shipping costs were compressing their margin. Local production would give them better pricing control — if they could source the right components and learn the process quickly.
