YOUR CHALLENGES

Safety, quality and performance are key concerns for solar energy companies developing and operating photovoltaic (PV) installations. They must continuously explore new applications and markets and scale up production to meet growing demand, while ensuring that existing assets remain safe and compliant.
Manufacturers, retailers and importers of PV technologies are faced with the challenge of designing systems that function effectively and reliably in a variety of climates. They also have to understand and comply with various grid code requirements and – crucially – find ways to operate effectively in the global solar PV industry.
