The "EUPD Research Installer Award," a global initiative led by EUPD Research dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the invaluable contributions of key stakeholders in the renewable energy industry - "The Installers". With participation from 22 countries and over 200 awarded installers worldwide, this project serves as a platform for installers to showcase their expertise, share success stories, and gain recognition for their pivotal role in advancing the industry. The entire project is accompanied by a series of events. The award honors installers who demonstrate strong commitment, brand recognition, growth levels, and local market penetration. Focused on the distributed solar and storage segment, particularly the residential sector, the award identifies top-performing installers based on various key performance indicators such as deployed capacities, number of installations, geographical coverage, execution strategy, and overall growth rate. The "EUPD Research Installer Award" is a testament to the outstanding impact of downstream companies in driving the distributed generation segment forward.
