Vikram Solar eyes Finnish markets

KOLKATA: Vikram Solar a solar energy solutions provider, has entered into a strategic partnership with Finnwind, making the system integrator, manufacturer and installer of renewable energy systems the exclusive supplier of Vikram Solar modules for the Finnish market.

Vikram Solar’s solar modules are especially suited for extreme conditions in Finland. JuhaPölönen - partner, sales & marketing at Finnwind Oy said: "Finland has harsh weather conditions and solar panels must not only resist the heavy snow loads but also perform for many years under these conditions. The fact that utilities have already had positive experiences with Vikram Solar modules is another important factor for our customers and partners in the energy industry.”

With the collaboration, Vikram Solar is pursuing several goals: “With approximately 5 MW of installed capacity in 2015, the Finnish market is still comparatively small, but we expect continuous growth including in Finland”, says Davide Marro, head of sales and business development, Europe at Vikram Solar.

“In addition, geographic proximity allows us to better meet the needs of customers in other Scandinavian markets such as Sweden as well as implement projects in Estonia”, Marro added.
