ReneSola Ltd SOL inked a long-term project financing to develop multiple solar power projects in Hungary. The projects will be financed by one of the largest banking and financial services firms in the country — K&H Bank.

Scopes in Domestic & International
ReneSola is a China-based manufacturer as well as seller of solar wafers and related products. To expand business and establish presence in the China market, rooftop projects are playing significant role for ReneSola. The company owned more than 193.6 MW of rooftop projects and has more than 27 MW projects under construction in the country.
Not only in domestic, ReneSola is expanding its business in the international markets like Canada, India, Poland, Hungary, France, Spain, Turkey, South Korea and New York. The company currently has 748 MW late-stage projects pipeline globally. In Europe, it has almost 60% projects in pipeline and in the United States it is more than 25%. Such projections, when fulfilled, will improve the company’s revenue growth.
Solar: A Prominent Alternate Energy
The concern about pollution-free environment is accelerating the shift to renewables. Rising demand for carbon-constrained practices and declining cost of alternate energy like solar and wind makes the outlook for the renewable energy industry attractive.
A key area in the renewable industry is solar energy. Per an Energy Information Administration (EIA) report, global renewable energy consumption will increase to 129 quadrillion Btu by 2040.
Price Movement
In three months time, ReneSola’s shares have lost 8.7% compared with the industry’s 12.4% decline.
