Juan Mayoral, CEO of Sofos Harbert, said: “We have the certainty that the Southeastern region of the US is going to be one of the most important solar energy markets in the upcoming years, and we as an, Alabama-based company, are in the best position to help our communities in the transition to a new energy producing scheme. We are convinced that more than a business, we are part of a brighter future and we are leaving a better world for the generations to come.”
