ReneSola to supply Virtus PV modules to UK commercial projects

China-based company ReneSola has signed an agreement with Isolux Corsan to supply photovoltaic (PV) modules for three commercial projects in UK.

ReneSola will supply 57MW of Virtus PV modules with an average power output of 250W, according to the terms of the agreement.

The modules will be installed at projects in Cornwall, Dorset, and Norfolk in the country while the projects are expected to connect to the grid in March 2014.

ReneSola said that it commenced the delivery of modules in December 2013.

ReneSola CEO Xianshou Li said the modules for the projects will be manufactured by OEMs in Poland and India, which follows firm’s strategy of increasing use of OEMs in select markets.

"This collaboration follows our successful partnership with Isolux Corsan regarding another UK solar project at the end of last year, and will help us solidify our local market share while building long-term relationships with leaders across the solar industry," Li added.

"We are proud to deepen our relationship with Isolux Corsan, a leading EPC with stringent requirements for its partners."

ReneSola provides PV modules for projects ranging in size from a few kilowatts to multi-megawatts in markets around the world such as the US, Germany, Italy, Belgium, China, Greece, Spain and Australia.

Isolux, which manages 284.5MWp of solar PV power plants in Spain, US, India, Italy, Peru and Puerto Rico, operates in around 40 countries on four continents.
