Draker Laboratories, a provider of turnkey monitoring and asset management services for commercial and utility-scale solar photovoltaic projects, says it is entering the Japanese market through a strategic partnership with Tokyo-based EKO Instruments Co. Ltd.
In 2011, the Japanese solar PV market was the sixth largest in the world, and it is expected to grow larger as its solar feed-in-tariff program is introduced in July, Draker notes. Under the terms of the EKO partnership, EKO will handle marketing, sales, project management and installation services for Draker's commercial and utility-scale solar monitoring, asset management and control packages.
Draker will provide technical and product support to EKO and collaborate closely with the EKO team to develop integrated turnkey solutions for customers in Japan.
