The partnership agreement was signed on Monday 26th April at NWG’s headquarters in Prato, Tuscany, and brings together Tenesol’s 26 years of experience in the global PV industry with Italy’s leading solar solutions provider.

“We are delighted to have officially partnered with NWG,” says Benoit Rolland, managing director of Tenesol. “We are committed to delivering Total Quality in everything we do and, together with NWG, we can bring new levels of customer service and satisfaction to the Italian market. The solar industry in Italy continues to develop and the more we can do to enhance its growth, the better.”

The partnership
Tenesol and NWG began working together on small-scale PV projects in 2005. NWG continued to develop its PV business and as it looked to strengthen its services by entering into a long term exclusive relationship with a well known PV systems supplier, it opened discussions with its first choice supplier, Tenesol.“We are pleased to be partnering with such an internationally renowned brand that offers a standard and level of quality that perfectly matches our own ambitions”, says Massimo Casullo, CEO at NWG. “This alliance positions us for the future. It represents a long-term certainty”.

The exclusive distribution partnership combines the two companies’ expertise in delivering PV solutions of the utmost quality, while ensuring optimum customer satisfaction.

NWG operates a nationwide network of distributors and installers throughout Italy. Combined with Tenesol’s European presence and France-based manufacturing plant, the two companies are ideally placed to meet even the largest of demands from the Italian market.

Tenesol’s commitment to Total Quality is present at every stage of its work from the design and manufacture of PV modules to the installation and maintenance of PV systems. NWG continues this commitment through its Top Level services, which delivers at every stage of its process.
