Concentrix Solar, a supplier of concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) systems and a unit of silicon-on-insulator solution provider Soitec, has formed a global alliance with Johnson Controls to capture utility scale solar energy projects.
Johnson Controls provides turnkey project development, engineering, procurement, construction, operation and maintenance services for large scale energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.
Under this collaboration, the companies will identify and respond to commercial opportunities for the project development and construction of utility scale solar energy facilities.
Johnson Controls will build, operate, maintain and provide lifecycle support for solar installations using Concentrix CPV technology.
Soitec chairman and CEO Andre-Jacques Auberton-Herve said that the companies understand the market opportunity and positive environmental impact that solar renewable energy will bring to both existing and future facilities.
