SunLink-Ganges JV

SunLink Corporation of the United States and Ganges Internationale Private Limited have entered into a joint venture to accelerate solar deployment in India.

It is part of SunLink commitment announced in July 2016 to deploy 1.4GW of solar in India over the next five years.

Also, SunLink has partnered with Ganges Internationale to support the country’s 175GW renewable energy goal.

Under the agreement, Ganges Internationale will manufacture, install and provide O&M support for SunLink TechTrack single-axis trackers in India.

SunLink will provide not only its proven technology but also PowerCare engineering services and VERTEX software platform to Ganges and its customers.

“India Prime Minister Modi’s goal of 175GW by 2022 is ambitious and requires a fast-track for successful implementation,” explains SunLink CEO Michael Maulick.

The two companies are currently collaborating on a tracker project located Northwest of Bengaluru, with several more in the design stages.

“Ganges has demonstrated a commitment to solar energy by diversifying our business to become a major provider of fixed tilt systems in India,” said Vinay Goyal, CEO of Ganges Internationale.

“Integrating SunLink’s tracker technology with our well-established manufacturing capabilities promises to bring not only more local jobs but increased solar capacity to help meet our country’s clean energy goals,” said Goyal. fii-news.com
