Il consolidamento del mercato del solare fotovoltaico in Italia è iniziato e

Prothea, un advisor finanziario nel mercato delle energie rinnovabili, si è

dimostrato un player solido, supportando con successo investitori

L’Italia è stato il principale mercato fotovoltaico globale nel 2011 in termini di nuove

installazione e il secondo maggior mercato per capacità totale installata; il 2012 sarà

medie dimensione.

critico per il successo di Prothea in questo settore, grazie ad anni di esperienza nel

settore M&A e nell’industria bancaria. Cohen ha dichiarato: “grazie al mix di
