SFC Energy LLC integrates sales, customer service, and logistics, setting a foundation for further expansion and organic growth within the US, focusing on the growing US market for clean energy solutions. It will serve a steadily rising number of various types of industrial back-up and off-grid power customers as well as the US defense sector and industry.
