Phoenix Solar Singapore has placed an order with Schott Solar for 67,000 PV modules, equivalent to approximately 16MW for two projects being developed near Bangkok, Thailand since June, 2011. The contract on supplying these modules was said to have been negotiated at this year’s Intersolar Europe. The two installations are expected to go into operation by the end of the year.
“We have signed contracts to supply modules with a capacity in excess of 50MW peak for large international projects over the last few months,” said Dr. Martin Heming, CEO of Schott Solar AG. “Our local presence in the international markets and previous experience in managing large projects were both crucial factors in convincing our partner to choose us.”
