Dear Sir or Madam,
We are pleased to present to you another issue of our NewsBreaker for the month of April.
In this issue we will take a closer look at how the procurement market develops. We also feature the breakthrough of German solar-researchers in the field of module development. In our category Inside COLEXON we will focus on those topics that have moved COLEXON in the month of April, such as the “Trophée Côte d’Azur”. In addition, our COLEXON Glossary will provide you with background information on CO2 and an explanation of the different efficiencies of solar modules.
We wish you a delightful start into the month of May and remain with kind regards
