The Singapore-based industrial group – formerly know as Flextronics – also plans to sell modules and inverters.

“We want to offer the full range of products for the market in Brazil, and talks with companies for producing modules and inverters are ongoing,” Nelson Falcão, Flex's local energy business development director, tells Recharge.

Flextronics, which specialises in setting up manufacturing and distribution services for third parties throughout the world, bought control in September of NEXTracker, which already has a presence in Chile (its biggest regional market, with 140MW of projects supplied), Uruguay, Panama, Peru and, from 2016, Brazil.
