Roland Menken, vice president of Phono Solar, said: “This agreement gives a clear signal to the German PV market that despite insolvencies last month and continued uncertainty surrounding the future, there are still strong companies like SYBAC Solar AG, who, when partnered with strong suppliers such as Phono Solar, are able to develop their business successfully.”

The SYBAC Solar AG Group has designed, developed, financed, built and commissioned over 130MW of solar systems around the world and recently partnered with Phono Solar on projects throughout the US.
