OUR VISION
The growth of the European solar market is certain because it is essential in the fight against global warming.
In the absence of European political interest in the photovoltaic manufacturing industry, the overwhelming majority of solar panels are produced in Asia; especially in China.
A challenge is therefore emerging on the supply of solar panels as well as on their maintenance for more than 30 years.
Experts in solar energy and in the industrial and commercial relationship between Europe and China, our commitment is to dedicate all our passion and energy to take up this challenge. “
