Feb 2017 Top Solar PV Installers and EPCs

Top installers and EPCs Feb 2017

Tables contained in this report are indicative of the contribution in generation capacity for solar PV power that various engineering firms, construction companies and electricians have installed and only shows the data as available to PQRS at the time of publication. E&OE

Introduction

This report reflects collated or aggregated data as data has been entered into the PQRS solar PV installed database. Companies appearing in these lists do so because they have a presence in social media or because they have submitted data in order to appear in PQRS data. Data reflected represents all data to date; meaning the date range is from 2000 to Feb 2017.

Methodology and duplication of data.

Each listing is entered against 1 of 3 different applications. These applications are
Commercial and Industrial (C and I), Agricultural and Residential.

This report contains a number of tables.

Three tables showing Agricultural stakeholders
Two tables showing Residential stakeholders. Project managers for this type of stakeholder have been omitted duue to the nature of the sector. As residential installations are typically smaller by nature there is no or very little need for project managers in each project. Hence the table showing the Top PM for Residential installations have been omitted.
1. Table 21 Top Stakeholder involved in residential Solar PV projects as Project Lead. For more information on the terminology termed “Project Lead” please see our research methodology.
2. Table 22 Top stakeholder involved in Residential projects in a capacity as installer.
Three tables showing Commercial and Industrial stakeholders
One table showing Overall Installer EPC generation capacity.

Each stakeholder involved in a solar PV installation is listed against a specific installation and multiple stakeholders can be listed against the same installation without duplicating installation data or generation capacity.

Also see the top brands for solar PV installations.
