Ralf Hofmann, CEO of KACO new energy said, “In many parts of the world, the costs of using photovoltaics are competitive with conventional sources of energy. As a consequence, the global demand for PV arrays is rising and that state-of-the-art technology as delivered by KACO new energy is benefitting largely from that.”

The company included increased demand from German-based project developers and the previous introduction of its 'blueplanet' 50.0 TL3 INT string inverter last year for the increased momentum in sales.
