The Solar Trust of America has formed a joint venture with SolarHybrid as it looks to establish itself in the solar industry. The new company, SolarHybrid of America, has already signed a letter of intent to establish a range of utility-scale projects in North America. This portfolio will include stand-alone systems, as well as projects incorporating concentrated solar power (CSP).
“Developing CSP and PV in tandem will allow us to achieve better cost and production efficiencies than with either technology on its own,” said Uwe Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Solar Trust of America. “From the outset, our plan has been to bring utility-scale solar power to the growing US market as a vertically-integrated engineering, construction and services provider that is technology agnostic.
