At Applus+ through Enertis -its solar and energy storage specialist- we offer a wide range of solar services for solar power plants, including solar design engineering, solar consulting, QA/QC on solar panels and other PV plant components, or solar testing and inspection. Our service portfolio aims to ensure maximum profitability and adequate risk management for our clients.

Photovoltaic technology is one of the pillars of the transition toward a sustainable energy model. 

Its competitiveness has increased dramatically over the past years. This is proven by the broad deployment of solar power plants at a global level, ranging from large utility-scale projects to smaller self-consumption installations. Nowadays, there is a growing trend in the financial market to invest in solar PV and other renewable energy projects.

Enertis Applus+, acquired by the Applus+ Group in 2021, is a global consulting, engineering, testing, and quality control firm, a benchmark in  Energy storage and solar Energy solutions in the worldwide market. We provide technical expertise, independent advice, and a wide range of solar services for solar farms and utility-scale projects with the ultimate goal of being a trusted technical partner to our clients. 

The company supports its clients across all the stages of their solar farms’ life cycle:
