Solar Frontier, the world’s only significant maker of PV modules based on copper, indium, selenide (CIS) thin-film technology, has been dabbling for several years in project development in its home market.
So far it has focused mostly on smaller and mid-sized utility-scale projects, as a growing sideline to its regular business of supplying modules.
Last week the company reached an important milestone in its downstream push when it sold its first project, the 2MW “Kunitomo Megasolar” array on Kyushu, to a fund managed by Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking Corp.
