Solon appoints new regional vice president, general manager of North America

Daniel Alcombright joins Solon as regional vice president and general manager of North America. Alcombright will assume this position with immediate effect. Olaf Koester, Alcombright's predecessor, will be leaving the company.

"Olaf was essential in launching Solon in 2007. Through his leadership, Solon established a successful 100MW manufacturing facility in Tucson, allowing us to provide solar modules and EPC services into the North American market," said Alcombright. "Riding this momentum, Solon will focus on operational excellence to continue strategic growth in this key market."

Stefan Säuberlich, CEO of Solon SE, said, "Under Dan's leadership, Solon will continue to focus on delivering the highest performance and most reliable solar solutions to the North American market."

Alcombright brings more than 20 years of experience in project management and executive leadership in automation and large-scale system design.
