Smith then changed tack slightly, saying: “I don’t know if I’d say we’re up for sale; we’re dealing with a need for capital.”

Last month Los Angeles-based SolarReserve sold six shovel-ready US PV projects totaling 140MW to Con Edison Development that it had developed jointly with a unit of China’s GCL-Poly.
