Revolutionary drainage solution addresses critical maintenance challenges in the region's diverse climate conditions

MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Panduit, a global leader in electrical and network infrastructure solutions, today announced the launch of its Solar Drain Clip in the Asia Pacific market. This innovative product addresses one of the most significant challenges facing solar installations across the region's diverse climates: water accumulation and its negative impact on solar panel efficiency and longevity.

The Asia Pacific region has seen unprecedented growth in solar energy adoption, with installations expected to increase by 40% over the next five years. However, the region's varied climate conditions—from monsoon seasons to high humidity environments—present unique challenges for maintaining optimal solar panel performance.

"Water accumulation on solar panels is particularly problematic across APAC where intense rainfall and humidity can accelerate dirt buildup and algae growth," said Gavin Lee, Business Development Director for Asia Pacific. "Our Solar Drain Clip provides a simple yet effective solution that can significantly reduce maintenance costs while maximizing energy output—addressing a critical need for solar installations throughout the region."

Optimized Drainage for Maximum Efficiency

The Solar Drain Clip improves drainage by effectively directing water off panel surfaces, minimizing residue buildup that can cause shading and reduced power output. By maintaining cleaner panel surfaces, the clip helps sustain consistent energy generation in all weather conditions, a particular advantage during monsoon seasons experienced across many parts of APAC.

Engineered for Asia Pacific's Demanding Environments

With an estimated service life exceeding 20 years*, the Solar Drain Clip is specifically designed to withstand the region's harshest environmental conditions, from extreme heat and humidity to heavy seasonal rainfall. This durability stands in harsh contrast to lower-grade alternatives that typically require replacement within 1-2 years.

"For large-scale solar installations across Asia Pacific, the reduction in maintenance frequency translates to significant operational cost savings," added Lee. "This makes our Solar Drain Clip particularly valuable for utility-scale solar farms and commercial installations throughout the region."

Key Features and Benefits:

• Tool-Free Installation: Simple clip-on mechanism enables quick installation or removal, reducing labor costs
• Universal Compatibility: Unique range-taking design accommodates most solar panel frame thicknesses, simplifying inventory management
• Retrofit Capability: Equally effective for both new installations and existing solar arrays needing performance improvements
• Regional Testing: Extensively tested in various APAC climate conditions to ensure optimal performance

Availability

The Panduit Solar Drain Clip is now available through authorized Panduit distributors across the APAC region. For more information, visit https://www.panduit.com/asean/en/products/featured-products/panduit-solar-drain-clip.html or contact your local Panduit representative.

SINGAPORE, July 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Panduit Corp has been awarded the prestigious Asia Responsible Enterprise Award (AREA) 2025 under the Social Empowerment category for its flagship initiative, the APAC Skills Change Lives Campaign. Presented by Enterprise Asia, the award recognizes Panduit's outstanding contributions in bridging the skills gap and advancing youth empowerment across the Asia-Pacific region.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/panduit/9345351-en-panduit-wins-asia-responsible-enterprise-award-2025-for-empowering-youth-through-skills-development

Panduit, a leading global manufacturer of high-quality electrical and network infrastructure, launched the APAC Skills Change Lives Campaign in response to rising youth unemployment and a growing skills mismatch in the Asia-Pacific region — an issue magnified in the post-COVID digital economy. Through strategic partnerships with educational institutions, industry leaders, and government agencies, Panduit empowers students with vocational education, technical training, and real-world experience to thrive in a fast-evolving job market. The campaign began in Singapore and has since expanded to China and Japan, creating sustainable opportunities for youths across the region.

The initiative is built on four key pillars: technical training centres, online learning platforms, skills competitions, and internships. Notable efforts include two state-of-the-art labs at ITE College East in Singapore, a simulated data center at Shanghai Zhonghua Vocational School, and support for youth skills forums in Japan. Students benefit from industry-relevant instruction, real-world experience, and access to Panduit's online learning platform.

The program also sponsors major skills competitions such as WorldSkills Singapore and WorldSkills ASEAN, giving students opportunities to gain national recognition and boost their career readiness.

"We are honored to receive the AREA 2025 award. This recognition reinforces our belief that investing in youth skills is a powerful way to uplift individuals and communities," said Mr. Harry Woo, Managing Director and Senior Vice President (Asia Pacific) of Panduit Singapore.

Expanding Impact Across APAC

Looking ahead, Panduit aims to expand the campaign into more Asia-Pacific markets, with a focus on underserved youth. Plans include opening new training centers, enhancing digital learning access, and tailoring programs to local workforce needs. The goal: to equip the next generation with in-demand skills in network infrastructure, smart manufacturing, and digital technologies — building sustainable careers and inclusive economies.

Why Panduit Was Recognized

Enterprise Asia selected Panduit for this award based on the campaign's lasting social impact and its strong alignment with six United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The company's ability to align business expertise with community needs set it apart. The campaign demonstrates a clear commitment to:

• Quality Education (SDG 4) – through hands-on and digital learning
• Decent Work & Economic Growth (SDG 8) – by enhancing employability
• Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (SDG 9) – via technical excellence
• Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10) – by targeting underserved communities
• Sustainable Cities & Communities (SDG 11) – through local talent development
• Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17) – via cross-sector collaboration

Enterprise Asia commended Panduit for setting a benchmark in how business can be a force for good—using innovation not only to lead markets but to uplift lives and strengthen the social fabric of the Asia-Pacific region.
