BYD supplied the PV modules for the project as mentioned by the general manager of BYD’s overseas solar sales division, Tom Zhao. “We’re very glad to have a great partnership with Juwi-Gruppe and we hope to keep expanding our cooperation. This cooperation between BYD and Juwi-Gruppe this time will take BYD’s cost effective and high efficiency solar modules to Germany to provide local residents with green and clean energy.”

BYD has focused its efforts in Germany of late. Just last week, it announced that it had connected two solar projects in the country, in cooperation with SunEnergy Europe, with a combined capacity of 6.65MW.
