We comfortably secured the 92nd spot among the fastest-growing European companies. Moreover, within the wholesale category, the prestigious Financial Times ranking placed us even in 3rd place. We're no newcomers here, as this marks our third inclusion in the esteemed ranking. However, this year's placement has proven our resilience and reaffirmed our commitment to further growth.
We're climbing higher in the ranks
"Last year, we reached the 577th spot; this year, we're already in the top hundred. This confirms our rapid, yet organic and sustainable growth, built on a solid foundation. We have been diligently building our presence in the market for twelve years," says our CEO Radek Orság regarding the placement.
In the photovoltaic segment, consistent growth is rather rare. At SOLSOL, we've tried to leverage market development and also invested in people and our own product development, such as ALFRED.energy. Thanks to this, we have grown year-over-year by 163.60%.
Success despite a turbulent 2023
The year 2023 was generally regarded as full of changes in the solar energy field. At times, it even resembled a rollercoaster ride with hard-to-predict developments. "This mainly concerned the availability of technologies in Europe and a very dynamic pricing policy, which became fatal for many companies in our segment. That's why we're pleased we managed to jump 419 spots," concludes Radek Orság.
