MELBOURNE, Australia--()--Hansen Technologies (ASX:HSN) is pleased to announce that Nautilus Solar Energy, LLC, a leading owner-operator of distributed generation solar projects in the United States, has selected Hansen CIS and Hansen Managed Services as a software and operational solution partner, as Nautilus Solar rapidly expands its community solar footprint.

Under the terms of this agreement, Hansen CIS will enable Nautilus Solar to manage and expand its activities quickly, by focusing on its back-office operations.
