The former CEO of Scheuten Solar, Frans van den Heuvel, has been named CEO of UK-based Solarcentury. Van den Heuvel holds over 13 years of industry experience, previously working with ProxEnergy, a solar installation and smart-grid product development company. Van den Heuvel began his new role with Solarcentury on May 8.
Jeremy Leggett, chairman of Solarcentury said, “Frans is one of the most experienced CEOs in the downstream solar business, and has a gold-plated reputation in our industry. We’re thrilled to have landed his services. He has led huge growth in exactly the markets Solarcentury is targeting: building-integrated and building-applied solar, plus solar parks. He joins us at a time when solar prices are falling fast globally, meaning substantial markets will open up in the next few years; as a McKinsey report highlighted only last week.”
