Global solar energy company Spire Solar establishes Spire Solar India

10 August 2009

Global solar energy company Spire Corporation, a global solar company providing capital equipment to manufacture photovoltaic modules, turnkey manufacturing lines and solar photovoltaic systems has expanded its international presence by establishing a wholly-owned subsidiary, Spire Solar India, formed to take advantage of the growing market for its distribution of products in India.

Spire Solar India will locate its representative office in New Delhi and aid in sales, provide rapid customer communications, provide improved after-service capabilities, and serve as a regional headquarters for equipment service operations, the company said.

Roger G Little, chairman and CEO, said, ‘India has been taking great strides to become a major competitor in the world photovoltaic market and Spire Solar intends on promoting this. With about 80 per cent of India’s year consisting of clear, sunny days, the solar energy equivalent is greater than the country’s total energy consumption.’

He added, ‘India is expected to be among the fastest growing markets for photovoltaic demand and has recently introduced the Solar Power Policy – 2009, which promotes generalisation of green and clean power through solar energy and promotion of local manufacturing facilities. There is a sizable amount of uncultivated land which is ideal for massive production of solar energy. With Spire Solar’s market penetration, India gains an efficient way to boost its country’s economy, and with that, the world’s.

Spire Corporation provides capital equipment to manufacture solar photovoltaic modules, turnkey manufacturing lines and solar photovoltaic systems. Spire Semiconductor provides processing technology for Spire’s silicon solar cell lines and produces gallium arsenide cells for solar concentrator systems.
