UK CPV Developer Appoints Johanna Solar Founder As New CEO

UK-based CPV developer Circadian Solar has appointed the founder of German thin-film photovoltaic company Johanna Solar Technology, Jeroen Haberland, as its new CEO. He replaces acting CEO Dr Robin Godfrey, who plans to remain at the Company in a business development role.

Robert Bosch GmbH acquired Johanna Solar earlier this year.  Prior to launching Johanna, Haberland was a senior sales and marketing executive with Siemens.

Circadian is one of a growing number of cleantech companies reshuffling their senior management (or here) to grow sales and mature into full-fledged commercial companies.

In a prepared statement Haberland said:

The company has reached a point of maturity following extensive technical development. The technology upon which the systems are based is at once robust and innovative, and I believe that it has the potential to make a significant contribution to the solar market worldwide. The work that I have done in the past complements the company’s existing strengths and position, and I look forward to leading it to the next stage.
