With hundreds of solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) providers in the world, deciding who is going to build their multi-million-dollar solar farm, is not something developers take lightly. After all, this is the company that could be responsible for a project over- or under-performing for the next 20-25 years, to the tune of millions of dollars.
For solar equipment and service providers, EPCs represent the partners they need to impress. Making the short list of module, inverter, or service providers is key — especially if a company can make it into the good graces of an EPC that builds mega-projects.
Renewable Energy World wanted to lift the veil on which vendors EPCs are relying on to build their projects. We surveyed eight providers —both big and small — from all across the world and bring you their responses here. Please note the information was supplied by the companies themselves.
