Abound Solar is making its entrance into the Indian market under a long-term sales agreement with Solarsis. The companies aim to promote Abound’s thin-film CdTe modules to project developers in the country’s burgeoning solar market. Additionally, Solarsis will create a test facility catering to the enhancement of balance of system (BOS) designs that center on Abound’s modules.

The collaboration's first project will be a 1MW ground-mounted array in Ananthapur, Andhra Pradesh, India.
