He, however, cautioned that although businesses can choose to focus on short-term targets, this is not always a winning strategy. “If you want to do a long-term business, you should consider technology, quality, safety, and service”, he said. Hesheng added that the selection of Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is a strategic decision, noting that an OEM with comprehensive strength that can develop together in a long-term, is a better choice.
Furthermore, Hesheng expanded that, the safety of household product is crucial to the owner, installer and channel. Safer products should be the first choice in product selection. Huawei has optimal Residential Solar Safety Design, by prioritizing technology safety, electrical safety, equipment safety, and system safety. Specifically, the AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) and RSD (Rapid Shut Down) make up above rooftop safety measures; built-in fire extinguishing package, 0V Port before operation, LiFePO4 (LFP) cell and cell Level monitoring make below rooftop safety measures; while the Triple EMC Protection Design (Power port, Signal port, radiation of system) make up human safety measures.

Additionally, Hesheng asserted that quality is the cornerstone of the rapid development of the industry, pointing out that with the increase in sales and installations, the importance of quality will become inescapable. As such, three aspects of quality should be prioritized namely; product quality, delivery quality, and service quality.
According to him, Huawei achieves product quality through product design and component selection because the company believes that an end-to-end high-quality target can only be achieved by building quality on processes.
Finally, Hesheng restated Huawei's readiness to work with all partners, to be a Long-Distance Runner in Renewable Energy Era together.
