The Indonesia Solar Energy Association (AESI) was officially established in Jakarta in 2016, co-founded by Ir. Luluk Sumiarso and several other Indonesian national energy experts. It is one of Indonesia’s national industry organizations with the highest level of involvement in solar energy policymaking. The association is currently chaired by Mada Ayu Habsari, who also serves as a board member of the Global Solar Council and has long been committed to advancing solar policy advocacy and accelerating industry development in Indonesia.

Italia Solare, the Italian Solar Energy Association, is one of Europe’s leading solar industry organizations by scale and the most representative national industry association in Italy’s photovoltaic sector. Rooted in the Italian Peninsula, it is not only a key driver of the high-quality development of Italy’s photovoltaic industry, but also an important bridge for dialogue and exchange across the global new energy industry.
