Commercial – tipologie più sensibili/adatte – distretti per concentrazione
Dati di crescita dell’industry
Con 8000 impianti fotovoltaici installati all’anno, il 50% dei quali per uso domestico e il restante per clienti commerciali, in soli 2 anni di attività SunPower ha conquistato il mercato italiano. Nel nostro paese SunPower ha trovato un mercato in crescita che le ha consentito di diversificare l’offerta e la tipologia di impianti fotovoltaici, adattandoli alle diverse esigenze per ottenere fin da subito importanti risultati.
Attraverso la sua rete di 500 partner certificati, ancora in forte crescita, SunPower opera in tutta Italia nel mercato residenziale e commerciale per offrire alla clientela soluzioni chiavi in mano: dal sopralluogo, alla progettazione dell’impianto fotovoltaico, dall’installazione e manutenzione, fino all’ottenimento degli incentivi statali.
