The M+W Group has achieved a key milestone in its continued evolution as one of the world’s leading EPC companies (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) for solar photovoltaics (PV).
With its portfolio of completed and active construction projects, the company has surpassed 1 gigawatt (GW) installed capacity of utility and large commercial projects worldwide. The equivalent of 1GW of solar can offset the power consumption of up to 100,000 homes annually, or up to 1 million tons of CO2 emissions per year of operation.
