Suntech to attend Solar Energy UK this week in Birmingham
Birmingham, UK, October 13, 2014/ Press Release/: Suntech will be exhibiting its latest financial offering at Solar Energy UK in Birmingham from October 14th to 16th. This follows the latest strategic partnership with youmex Group.
The financial offering comes through a partnership announced between Shunfeng Photovoltaic International Limited and Greenfield Solar International GmbH & Co. KG which have entered into a strategic alliance with German-based clean energy financing and investment group youmex to finance solar farm projects in Great Britain, using Suntech as its exclusive PV panel supplier.
“We are excited to complement our partnership with Greenfield with youmex’s financial services for our customers. We believe that this alliance will serve as another catalyst for growth in the UK’s solar market” said Eric Luo, CEO of Suntech, who is also responsible for Shunfeng Photovoltaics International Holding’s acquisition strategy.
“Through this partnership, Suntech and Shunfeng will be able to offer enhanced services to our UK customers in line with our strategy to become a one stop shop for all solar needs,” noted Steve Gladman who heads Suntech’s operations in the UK. “Thanks to its acquisition by Shunfeng Photovoltaics Ltd. (SPI), Suntech is offering a new range of products and services second to none in the market,” he added.
Earlier this year Suntech’s polycrystalline silicon modules, which will be exhibited at Solar Energy UK, were independently ranked above industry standards by the UK’s OST Energy. Suntech products also received the VDE Quality-Tested certification, attesting that Suntech modules exceed existing industry and market standards. Suntech is only the third brand globally to receive this ranking.
Suntech will be at Booth D20 at Solar Energy UK. For further information on Suntech or to coordinate an interview with the company, please contact: Daniela Gerdes at daniela.gerdes@suntech-power.com.
