US photovoltaic (PV) panel manufacturer MiaSole has appointed Richard Hossfeld as vice president of global business development and sales.
Hossfeld has extensive experience working in the solar sector, having served as vice president of business development at both First Solar and Fluidic Energy.
During his time at First Solar, the company entered the market in North America, compiled a 2.2GW pipeline of contracted projects and launched operations in Asia.

[Hossfeld's] experience will be invaluable in driving further growth of our company, as well as enhancing the value proposition we offer our customers. I look forward to working with [Hossfeld] again to open new markets and drive our sales execution.'
