MUFG project finance managing director Takaki Sakai said: “Distributed power generation, and community solar in particular, is a growing segment of the renewable energy market that plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions with the participation of a wide range of community members, and Nexamp is a reputable market leader in this field.
