February 8, 2022 – 247Solar, developer of the world’s lowest-cost 24/7 solar technology, announces the growth of its senior team with the addition of a new and talented Senior Manager, Bids & Contracts, Chanchal Kalra.

At 247Solar, Chanchal will lead, negotiate, and execute responses to the best global tender opportunities for the company’s 247Solar Plants ™ and HeatStorE™ batteries. He brings nearly a decade of comprehensive commercial project management experience identifying and managing project risk and scope, coordinating effective strategies under challenging foreign trade policies, and leading megawatt power engineering projects. His leadership also includes the preparation and negotiation of global commercial proposals.
