German engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company Baywa r.e has begun building a 135MW/53MW co-located wind and solar PV project in Zaragoza, Spain.
German independent power producer Encavis Asset Management has started construction on a 260MW solar PV plant in Germany and acquired a 139MW Spanish PV portfolio.
Solar PV projects’ operations and maintenance (O&M) are often overlooked during the development stage, according to Chris Stacy, director of business development at BayWa r.e. in the US.
Adequate training and employing people with different skills are some areas US solar companies are working on, as these are crucial to driving the solar industry to succeed.
