They share our rigorous focus on quality assurance in system execution and delivery of solar services. I look forward to working closely with Gerwin as he oversees our operations in Europe," noted Carlos Domenech, COO and CFO, SunEdison.

The company has offices in the United States, Canada, Spain, Italy, France and Germany.
