Greentech Lead Asia: China
Sunergy, a solar cell and module manufacturer, has started assembling solar
modules in France through its OEM alliance with KDG Energy.
Akuo Energy Group, a developer, investor and operator of
renewable energy plants across the world, will take the first delivery of
assembled solar modules.
China Sunergy and KDG Energy entered into a memorandum of
understanding in November 2011. The agreement is for KDG Energy to manufacture
solar modules for China Sunergy in France, under CSUN’s brand name. China
Sunergy will send the required components to KDG for the fabrication of such
modules.
Such modules assembled by KDG Energy for China Sunergy will
be labeled as CSUN Made in France. In mid-March 2012, KDG Energy officially
started the commercial production of CSUN Made in France solar modules.
“France has always been an important market for us. KDG
Energy is well recognized as a high quality, high-tech manufacturer of
photovoltaic panels in France. We expect our cooperation with KDG Energy will
allow China Sunergy to further develop its business in France and help China
Sunergy position itself as a preferred supplier in the entire European
market,” said Stephen Cai, China Sunergy’s CEO.
