Mainz, Germany: SCHOTT Solar Signs Long-term Contract with Enerpoint S.p.A.

SCHOTT Solar and Italy's Enerpoint S.p.A. have signed a long term supply contract for the delivery of solar modules.

By closing this deal, the companies have expanded their successful cooperation that started last year. The contract between SCHOTT Solar and Enerpoint covers a steadily increasing supply of polycrystalline silicon modules, expected to represent a total power output of 35 megawatts in coming years. Through this major contract, Enerpoint becomes the official dealer for SCHOTT Solar modules in Italy.

"Enerpoint is making great strides forward by concluding partnerships with experienced photovoltaic companies who are steadily expanding. The fact that Enerpoint is sharing its know-how with the best international suppliers on the market is renewed proof of Enerpoint's commitment to offer products of an extremely high standard," comments Rocco Viscontini, President and Managing Director at Enerpoint.

"Italy is one of the emerging markets in Europe that shows the most promise. SCHOTT Solar is delighted to expand this long-term partnership with Enerpoint – a Company with the same understanding of what quality and service to the customer means" notes Michael Harre, Chief Sales Officer at SCHOTT Solar.

The relationship between SCHOTT Solar and Enerpoint is founded on shared values such as excellent service, high qualitative standards and a passion for photovoltaics, one of the few sectors in which respect for the environment, industrial development, and employment growth can be combined.
