Innotech Solar (ITS) and CEO Thor-Christian Tuv have decided to part ways after identifying differing opinions on the company’s future growth and expansion. The company’s board is now focusing on creating a new long-term growth strategy to meet the dynamic challenges of the photovoltaic industry. The ITS board views the introduction of new skills and expertise as an important priority, and has appointed David Hogg to the role of CEO at Innotech Solar with immediate effect.

Thor-Christian Tuv has been with ITS since its foundation in autumn 2008 and has overseen rapid growth in the company. During this period, Innotech solar has strengthened its position as a world leader in the production of high-quality ‘green’ PV modules. During Tuv’s tenure, the establishment of competitive module pricing with leading Chinese solar companies was prioritized.
