("Hanergy").  "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work with a Hanergy, a global leader in the renewable energy space, to finance this portfolio of high quality solar projects" said Robert Sher, Co-Founder and Director of Business Development of Greenbacker Group.   "In working together with Greenbacker, we believe that we will be able to provide next generation solar technology to each and every corner of the United States", said Mr. Wu Yi, Chairman & CEO of Hanergy Holdings America, Inc.
