PV Helper’s First Manila Solar Show: A Memorable Step Toward Offline Global Growth

A New Offline Expansion Step in the Philippine Solar Market

2026 is an important year for PV Helper. After years of investment in Alibaba International Station, we found that the return did not meet expectations. As a result, we made a strategic decision to close our online store and focus more on offline promotion, with the goal of meeting customers directly and building stronger business relationships through face-to-face communication.

As one of China’s nearest neighboring countries, the Philippines became our first destination for offline expansion. With English widely used in the local market, it also offered an ideal environment for direct communication and business development.

In May 2026, Mr. Ning Jia visited Manila for the first time and attended the Manila Solar Show for five days. This visit opened a new chapter for PV Helper in Southeast Asia. During the exhibition, he met many long-term customers we had previously worked with online, held detailed discussions with new potential clients, and explored cooperation opportunities with several distributors.

The trip also gave us a deeper understanding of the Philippine market and local culture. Throughout the visit, we received generous help and warm support from both local customers and many strangers, which made the journey especially memorable.

Most importantly, we received more than 10 orders during the event. These orders were primarily for solar panel ladder lifts used in solar installation projects, as well as mini forklifts for transporting solar batteries and inverters. This result gave us strong confidence in the demand for our products and in the potential of the Philippine market.

We believe this exhibition marks only the beginning. In the future, PV Helper hopes to return to the Manila Solar Show as an exhibitor and present our solutions in a more direct and professional way. We also look forward to more opportunities to visit the Philippines, a beautiful country full of energy, promise, and partnership potential.
