Norwegian company Enernit Was rewarded the Solar Start-Up Award 2023 for their next-generation online geospatial platform at the SolarPower Summit 2023, organized by SolarPower Europe in Brussels last week.
While the performance of the equipment is undoubtedly the crucial factor for the success of a solar power plant, the land on which the project is built can have a great influence on how the equipment functions and how well the project functions, which is often not sufficiently recognized gets.
