Advanced Energy Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq:AEIS), today announced
a sales and service partnership with Bergen Group that will help
both companies better service the high-growth Indian photovoltaic
(PV) market. The first project under this partnership is a 1
megawatt (MW) ground-mount array, which has already been
commissioned in Kalanaur, in the state of Haryana, India.
“We are excited to be working with AE Solar Energy and look
forward to bringing the company’s high quality and reliable
utility-scale inverters as well as service and support offerings to
the rapidly expanding Indian solar PV market,” said Rajinder Kumar,
managing director and chairman, Bergen Group. “We see great
opportunity in the Indian PV market and are pleased to be partnered
with Advanced Energy, a leader in utility-scale inverter
manufacturing. We are fully prepared to take up the responsibility
to provide a strong after sales support for installation,
commissioning, warranty, and annual maintenance contracts.”
The Indian PV market has significant potential due to its
growing demand for energy, driven by its rapidly expanding economy,
and supported by the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission and
its goal of 20GW of installed solar power by 2020. This growing
demand for renewable, clean sources of energy strongly aligns with
AE Solar Energy’s expertise in lowering the levelized cost of
energy (LCOE) for project owners and off-takers. Together with
Bergen, AE Solar Energy will deliver inverter and energy service
solutions that provide utilities with confidence that their PV
projects will deliver on long-term production goals.
“We’re excited to expand our business into India and partner
with Bergen Group. AE Solar Energy underwent an in-depth selection
process to determine the right partner for our move into this
important market for solar energy, and we strongly believe we have
chosen wisely,” said Gordon Tredger, president, AE Solar Energy.
“Bergen Group combines domain expertise with an India-wide service
network that will allow us to provide the high-standard of AE
service and support our customers expect.”
The 1 MW ground-mount array in Kalanaur, utilizes two AE 500kW
utility-scale inverters. The AE inverter architecture provides
utility-scale grid-tied PV systems with high efficiency, lower
balance of system (BoS) costs and grid-integration controls.
The Bergen Group, supported by AE Solar Energy, exhibited at the
India Solar Summit, April 19-21, 2012 at the Mahatma Mandir
Convention Centre in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. During the summit, a
representative of Advanced Energy took part in a panel to discuss
existing solar technologies, opportunities and challenges that help
to position PV as a front runner technology in the Indian
region.
AE’s solar energy business delivers highly reliable inverters,
complimentary BoS products, and robust Operations and Maintenance
(O&M) services that allow its customers to secure more solar
projects and increase their earnings. AE Solar Energy enables
utility-scale, commercial, and residential solar project
stakeholders to offer system owners a lower LCOE and confidence
that their PV system will deliver on long-term production goals.
With more than 30 years of leadership in delivering innovative
energy solutions, combined with a legendary reputation for customer
service, AE is a trusted partner to solar project developers,
financiers and beneficiaries around the globe.

About Bergen Group
In 1979, while watching the simultaneous sunset and sunrise in
the town of Bergen in Norway, the idea of providing bundled
services required in electronic manufacturing in India germinated
in the mind of a young visionary. This vision was given
professional reality when Bergen Associates Pvt. Ltd. was formed in
1983 by a group of like-minded technocrats. Initially set up as a
conduit for the supply of European machinery to the Indian
electronic industry, the company introduced into the Indian market
international quality and excellence in the field of manufacturing,
assembly and testing of Printed Circuit Boards.
A growing need in the industry led to a rapid expansion of the
initial vision and the transformation of the flagship company into
the progressive and competent Bergen Group of Companies. Over 25
years experience in hardware electronics gave Bergen Group the
competitive edge to establish the company within the Indian solar
industry. By providing support in supplying, installing,
commissioning and proving technology in cells and modules of 500MW
annual capacity for each, Bergen in a leading name in the solar
service industry and is acknowledged internationally by their
partners in Europe and the US and by their customers in India.
