ARISE's reputation for quality, PV engineering experience and an expanding service network will allow us to effectively respond to and serve our client base," stated Mr. Peter Liu, President of Sky Solar Canada.

SKY SOLAR is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. ARISE and SKY SOLAR will continue to serve their own customers in the Canadian marketplace but will also work as a team with all customers to ensure that project needs are met.
