“Completing Suniva’s first full system installation in Mexico from the design to the final grid connection has been a collaborative effort. Working with GMI on installation of the racking and wiring and Radiance on design and grid interconnection has been a great experience,” said Sol Haroon, lead systems engineer at Suniva.

Suniva also noted that the US Export-Import Bank and affiliate UPS Capital had provided financing for the system and installation.
