WINAICO acquires the Tier 1 module manufacturer status
Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) has classified WINAICO as a Tier 1 manufacturer of crystalline photovoltaic modules in their latest edition of PV Market Outlook. Bankability is the key criterion within the classification system, because banks are extremely stringent in verifying the quality of the components used in solar installations. To meet BNEF's Tier 1 criteria, WINAICO has supplied own-brand products to large projects financed non-recourse by five non-development banks tracked in the BNEF database in the past two years. The methodology is described here. This does not constitute a recommendation for the product and should not replace due diligence in product selection.
In addition to the recognition in bankability, WINAICO continues to offer a unique 10-year, 3-in-1 insurance package in selected regions, to provide cover to the whole installation against losses due to material damage, interruption of service and possible reduced yield.
"Since the inception of WINAICO, we have been primarily recognised as a quality module manufacturer for Residential and Commercial installations. We are extremely proud to achieve the Tier 1 module maker status from Bloomberg, enabling our partners more confidence in developing large scale Utility projects", said Sascha Rossmann, Vice President of Global Sales of WINAICO. "In addition to the industry-leading insurance coverage attached to our modules, our customers can feel secure in knowing that each WINAICO solar investment is fully protected throughout its lifetime."
