“We intend to extend our relationship even further in the future,” commented Alexandros Xylouris, Environ’s CFO, “Our goal is to get a leading share on the Greek photovoltaic market and we’ve found an ideal partner in SCHOTT Solar,” he added.
Since the introduction of the Greek FiT scheme in 2006 the Greek solar market has seen encouraging growth. As of August 2011 solar installations exceeding 100kW will receive €0.35 cents per kWh. It is hoped that the new role Greece is playing in the PV industry will help to create jobs and stimulate the struggling economy.
