20:38
Technological start-up is underway at the Sędziszów plant and production of the first photovoltaic panels by Unimot will start before the end of July, CEO Adam Sikorski told ISBnews.
“Currently, with a small delay, the technological start-up of the photovoltaic panel production line at the PZL Sędziszów plant has begun. Production will start later this month,” - Sikorski said in an interview with ISBnews.
Earlier, the company declared that the first panels produced at PZL Sędziszów, which will eventually appear in Avia Solar’s offer, among others, will come off the production line by the end of Q2.
“At the end of July we will show the initial product offering of our panels,” - added the CEO.
The company reported that the value of the investment in the first stage amounted to more than 500 thousand euros, and the initial capacity of the production line is 15 MW.
“The past year on the market of photovoltaic installations was not easy, although the increase in energy prices favored the growth of interest from business. We decided that although we will continue to have an offer for individual customers, we will focus primarily on the B2B area” - Sikorski concluded.
Unimot specializes in trading diesel oil, biofuels, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas (including LNG) and electricity. As a member of the international association Avia International, it has been developing a network of fuel stations in Poland under the Avia brand since 2017. In 2020, the company entered the photovoltaics market with the Avia Solar brand. In March 2017, the company debuted on the main market of the Warsaw Stock Exchange after transitioning from NewConnect. The company had 4.82 billion in consolidated revenue in 2020.
