Our team has the experience and expertise to deliver reliable, cost-competitive distributed power to serve Poland's growing energy demand, and we are proud to have the opportunity to accelerate the country's transition to a robust clean energy economy.  We look forward to leveraging the project win to further support solar deployment in Poland and other emerging markets.”
