Great team and great projects! Kudos to Krasen Mateev and the whole team of Renalfa Solarpro Group!
Solarpro's CEO Krasen Mateev recently took the stage at CISOLAR 2023 to present our work and best practices on the 66 MWp project of Oslomej, North Macedonia in the "Case Studies of Successful Solar Energy Projects in Central and Eastern Europe" panel of the conference that took place on 30-31st of October in Bucharest, Romania. One of the specifics of the site of Oslomej is that construction is taking place on land that is unsuitable for agricultural purposes - above a former lignite mine. Our team is currently in the process of commissioning the PV power plant. Thank you to our hosts for the exceptional organisation and insightful discussions. See you next year! #CISOLAR #IBES2023 #CleanEnergy #solarenergy #solar #batterystorage #energystorage #solarenergy #solareurope #innovation #future #technology #collaboration #construction #sustainability #solar #renewableenergy #renewables #cleanenergy #solarpro #bulgaria #pv #epc
