SunLink is expanding its solar footprint to Honduras, Latin America’s second largest solar market in 2015.
In connection with this expansion, SunLink completed the delivery of products in connection with projects in Western Honduras totaling 37 MW.
The move is part of a larger push into the region and beyond.
Latin America carries a top rank amongst burgeoning global solar markets with a project pipeline of almost 30 GW this year, surpassing the U.S. and Japan.
The Latin American projects represent one piece of SunLink’s fixed-tilt, roof-mount and tracker portfolio throughout the Americas, with total installs of over 1 GW, the company said.
“Every major player in the solar market is contemplating international solar activity as a way to mitigate risks associated with the predicted temporary 2017 dip in the domestic market – whether that’s through projects, M&A or strategic alliances,” said Michael Maulick, CEO of SunLink.
Maulick added, “We already have a respected international track record, and are expanding it rapidly not as a short-term balance sheet bolster like so many others, but as part of our long-term investment and commitment to advancing universal solar power adoption for the benefit of the environment and security worldwide.”
