Additional projects will be added under the terms of the preliminary contract over the coming months. The project duration of each installation is approximately four months from the beginning of building work.
In order to deliver these projects, Acta has formed a 50%-50% joint venture company with FediImpianti, which will operate under the name of ‘SolGen’.
Paolo Bert, chief executive said, “During 2009 we have pursued partnerships and opportunities within the Italian photovoltaic installation sector, and we are delighted that these efforts have now culminated in our joint venture with Fedi Impianti and a major photovoltaic installation contract with SPF.”
