“The energy transition is no longer constrained by demand,” Stefan Reisacher, CEO of Linxon. It is increasingly constrained by execution capacity, supply chain availability and the industry’s ability to scale. This collaboration represents a significant step forward in addressing those challenges. By bringing together Linxon’s EPC expertise, Hitachi Energy’s industry-leading grid and power technologies and FTC Solar’s innovative and highly constructible solar infrastructure solutions, we are creating a powerful ecosystem that enables customers to move faster, reduce risk, and execute large-scale renewable energy projects with greater certainty and predictability.”
Lixon will be the project contractor, Hitachi will supply solar inverters and battery energy storage systems and FTC will supply solar trackers and racking. The companies hope to standardize solar and storage project design by using complementary technologies, opening the possibility to working more efficiently across multiple project sites.
“Maximizing the efficiency and long-term value of utility-scale renewable projects requires more than best-in-class technologies—it requires like-minded partners leveraging and integrating those solutions in ways that enhance scalability, constructability, and long-term performance, said Anthony Caroll, CEO of FTC. “This collaboration creates a compelling value proposition for developers, utilities, and investors seeking predictable project outcomes and accelerated deployment.”
