UKSOL Delivers 660w Solar Modules to Latvia

UKSOL has shipped its own British brand of 660w mono half cell solar modules to Latvia in the Baltic. The delivery is hoped to be the first part of a large MW project currently being developed there.

UKSOL solar modules enjoy a reliable 30 year British performance warranty.

Latvenergo, a state-owned energy company in Latvia, plans to make significant investments in wind and solar farms. Martinš Ćakste, chief executive officer of Latvenergo, said that the Baltic states need a plan for unified energy sector. The prospect of constructing a modular nuclear power plant in Latvia, for example in partnership with Estonia, is also being explored.

In Latvia, renewable energy already accounts for 60 percent of total electricity production, due to Riga's large thermal power plants. Nevertheless, Latvia imports almost a third of its electricity needs.
