The company will now assist its existing and new customers in designing, planning and sizing SHARC and PIRANHA projects to advance low-carbon targets. “The North Eastern region of the US is a key region for SHARC Energy,” said Jodi Guthrie, Director of SHARC Energy’s North American Sales. “Our systems are ideal for these multi-season climate zones.
