| Black & Veatch to expand its solar photovoltaic services U.S.-based Black & Veatch is expanding its solar photovoltaic (PV) services. The company's Solar PV Bankability practice now provides independent engineering and due diligence services to manufacturers of solar PV materials. Black & Veatch is frequently relied upon by clients in the United States and China to evaluate facilities that manufacture PV modules and supporting technologies, such as inverters that convert PV energy to alternating current. Evaluations, which are conducted on behalf of both investors and facility owners, verify technology claims and ensure manufacturing processes produce a consistent, high-quality product in a cost-effective manner. Dr. Ralph Romero, who recently joined Black & Veatch's management consulting business, leads the expanded Solar PV Bankability practice. Dr. Romero is an expert in the commercial development of crystalline silicon and thin-film photovoltaic technology. His consulting experience includes advising client investment in the areas of technology, manufacturing, product and process design, project evaluation and operations management. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
