Chinese Consortium Set For USA
Centron Solar launches collaborative business platform at Intersolar 2009
Centron Solar, a new company poised to revolutionize the industry's methods of supply and service, makes its official debut at Intersolar North America 2009 in San Francisco. This international trade show will serve as the launching pad for Centron Solar's market entry, which is sure to benefit from the endorsement and support of the solar industry's first consortium of leading manufacturers.
The Solar Consortium affiliation is a key component of Centron's unique business model, which accommodates direct sales of a virtually inexhaustible supply of the world's finest field-proven PV modules. Centron is leveraging this steady inventory by offering on-demand deliveries, no-minimum orders, premium customer service and prices that are significantly lower than current market rates.
The modules supplied by Centron are the same products cost effectively implemented throughout Western Europe since 2004, which enables the company to offer some of the industry's most generous warranty packages and embark on its mission to transform solar energy into an affordable commodity worldwide. This effort will initially be focused on North America, where Centron operates from its headquarters in Eugene, Oregon.
Leading Centron is President Ocean Yuan, an experienced executive whose previous posts include President of Solarfun Power USA (solar supply chain), Global Vice President of Smith & Associates (semiconductor distribution), and General Manager and Vice President of Solectron Corp. (electronics manufacturing, now part of Flextronics). Mr. Yuan has built a team of industry specialists whose goals are to ensure the quality of the PV modules and develop a customer support system that is unrivalled in the solar marketplace.
