Vacon and CEI to enter solar PV market in China VACON
The Chinese government aims to install 15 gigawatts of new solar capacity by 2015. To be included in the list of potential suppliers for the Golden Sun program, solar inverter manufacturers are required to have Golden Sun certification for their products.
The cooperation between Vacon and CEI combines Vacon’s inverter technology know-how with CEI’s system-level product packaging capabilities and power generation know-how. This results in a very high-quality solar photovoltaic (PV) inverter product that meets the requirements of the Chinese market.
“I am convinced that this cooperation will provide both companies with great opportunities in the fast-growing Chinese solar PV market. The Chinese government’s commitment to increasing the production of energy from renewable sources is a good example in the fight against climate change,” says Olli Tevä, Marketing Director, Renewable Energy at Vacon Plc.
China National Electric Apparatus Institute Co (CEI) was established in 1958, under the management of China National Machinery Industry Corporation (SINOMACH).
