Guy Rong, president of Arctech Solar's international business, said: “This is just the beginning in the US. In the American PV market, which is almost monopolized by a few local solar tracker suppliers, we found out our technology, in particularly, the redundancy design is most welcomed by customers and thus we believe there will be huge potential for us to grow in the next few years.”

As part of their expansion, Arctech Solar has built up its local sales, marketing, technical and service teams in its main office in Sacramento, California. The company has also collaborated with several partners to provide more services, including nationwide installation.

Engie, Clean Energy Collective develop 22MW community solar portfolio in Massachusetts

7 Setember: Global energy company ENGIE and community solar solutions provider Clean Energy Collective (CEC) have partnered up on a community-solar portfolio consisting of 16 solar facilities located throughout Massachusetts.

Vikram Kulkarni, vice president of solar for ENGIE Resources, said: “ENGIE offers consumers a variety of renewable energy offerings as part of our commitment to a decentralized and decarbonized energy future, and community solar is a key component of that. This collaborative project adds valuable renewable energy to the grid while allowing our customers, including businesses, nonprofits, public entities, residents and even renters to 'go green' and save money with nothing on their roof or property.”

This partnership will utilise CEC’s skill in developing and operating community solar projects with Engie’s wide reach for providing retail energy services.

CEC led the development of the projects, while both companies will jointly own and operate the 16 community solar projects currently constructed and interconnected in Eversource and National Grid territories.
