The deal is a strategic partnership between a global energy superpower and a driving force in renewables, aimed at accelerating the low-carbon transition worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The deal was the end product of months of hard work from multiple teams across both businesses, and was for many the crowning achievement of their solar careers. We\u2019re very proud of what we\u2019ve achieved together, as the year mark approaches, and looking forwards, the future of solar has never seemed brighter!<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"\/?p=73574\"
