The newly appointed CEO of Solargis APAC, Michal Strba, will oversee the new office that the company has established in Singapore.
The company's expanding customer base in APAC, which is dispersed across one of the world's most complex environments for solar PV power generation due to its variable terrain, topography, and dotty geography of its island nation states, will be supported by the Singapore office, which will focus on new opportunities.
The levels of solar resource variability experienced in the area over the last 12 months were noted in Solargis' most recent 2022 World Solar Performance assessment.
The requirement for trustworthy instruments to comprehend climatic impacts on investment chances and operational portfolios is being driven by the expansion of the APAC solar business.
Michal Strba, CEO, Solargis APAC, said: “APAC is a significant, yet complex market for development and operation of solar portfolios. Solar investors face numerous market-specific resource risks that significantly impact investment and operational decisions. By bringing our international expertise, granular solar data and software services closer to our APAC clients, we aim to help investors in the region increase their confidence as they drive forward the energy transition.”
Marcel Suri, CEO, Solargis, said: “Our new Singapore office strengthens our position as a globally trusted reference point for solar data, software and expertise. Michal Strba has proven himself time and time again in Asia. His expertise on China, its language and business culture, make him well-placed to lead our APAC operation. We look forward to strengthening our existing relationships and forming new partnerships with investors seeking to de-risk their solar investments.”
