Makbi’s outook has also evolved to embrace the multifaceted nature of the photovoltaic (PV) sector. It has introduced distinct departments to cater to different market facets—residential projects, commercial and industrial clients and large-scale ground-mounted installations. The company also has a division that focuses on PV with storage solutions, acknowledging the growing role of energy storage in the renewable energy sector. This enables Makbi to provide cost-effective solutions from the outset of project development.

Instead of categorizing these projects as utility-scale, Makbi refers to them as renewable distributed generation projects, which are typically under five megawatts. These ground-mounted projects differ from traditional PV installations, as clients view them as revenue sources instead of energy bill-saving measures. Accordingly, the firm dedicates specialized teams to address the varied requirements of these projects.

The company provides clients with comprehensive project solutions, ensuring greater certainty about potential savings and project technical success.
