Munich-based Solar Frontier Europe, a subsidiary of Tokyo-based Solar Frontier – the largest manufacturer of CIS (copper indium selenium) thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solar modules – is supplying additional CIS PowerModules to Home-NRG of Twente, The Netherlands (a subsidiary of Ootmarsum- based medium-size installation business Agro-NRG) to help it meet strong demand in the country.
Solar Frontier has already delivered 8MW to the Dutch distributor for 92 different projects this year, ranging from 10kWp to 150kWp in size. It is now providing Home-NRG with an additional 2MW, bringing total shipments in 2015 to 10MW.
Home-NRG (an authorized Solar Frontier distributor since October 2013) is an established provider of small residential and commercial PV solutions in The Netherlands. The firm has a large, nationwide installer network, enabling it to execute PV projects quickly and broadly. Additionally, Home-NRG uses its own test sites with data monitoring systems, enabling it to compare different PV technologies under identical conditions.
"Based on this year's experiences, we are confident that we will be able to install even more CIS solutions in the Netherlands in 2016," says Home-NRG's general manager Robert ter Horst.
