Building R&L Solar Solutions’ Success Story
Although R&L Solar Solutions is the Japanese market-leader today, the company faced tough challenges in the initial stages, stemming from the nation’s unique business landscape. Japanese customers mostly prefer to work with reputed vendors and are reluctant to choose services from new brands. Moreover, the nation’s market has exceptionally high standards of quality. So, as a new start-up without lots of money or wealthy investors, the company struggled to survive.
To overcome these odds, Mr. Rosenkranz lead the company to focus one goal at once, beginning with installing the very first solar farm. Slowly, through consistent positive performance, the company steadily achieved more, gaining trust, and building a competent work force. He took time to carefully foster highly competent workers who follow values such as honesty, responsibility, and empathy. Moreover, most of them were bilingual ensuring proper communication and were willing to spend time with customers to fully understand their requirements.
Subsequently, Mr. Rosenkranz steadily built the brand and reputation. R&L Solar Solutions gained a comprehensive, highly detailed portfolio of services, having set up solar farms, batteries, solar carports, roof top solutions, greenhouses, building integrated photovoltaics and more, for many diverse organizations. Simultaneously, the company become known as a reliable provider of sophisticated, top quality, and world-class solar energy solutions.
“Today R&L Solar Solutions is a brand that represents quality to our customers. Almost all the key players in our industry are very welcoming of our services and solutions today,” Mr. Rosenkranz updates.
Leading the Way towards a Vision of Sustainability
Mr. Rosenkranz’s passionate leadership and drive towards the vision of supporting the renewable resources of energy has been indispensable to the Japanese business world. R&L Solar Solutions, being one of the nation’s top solar energy solution providers, is also an exemplary, ethically sound, and highly professional clean power solution provider today. Apart from realizing the company’s core vision, what really motivated them is helping customers overcome their challenges on time, on budget and as promised. For this, the company has been well praised and recognized. “We have opened our office in Australia in 2017 and we are going to start our activities in the Middle East, based in Dubai in August 2020. We want to be the solution provider of choice across the Asia-Pacific because we deliver projects consistently and better than expected,” Mr. Rosenkranz sums up.
