• Sorgenia: Italian energy company active in renewables generation, electricity retail and EV charging infrastructure. Comparable as an Italy-focused renewable energy operator with retail and B2B customer overlap, though primarily an IPP/utility rather than an installer.
• EF Solare Italia: Italy's largest solar operator, operating a portfolio of utility-scale and industrial PV plants across the country. Comparable as a major Italian solar owner/operator, but focused on owning/operating assets rather than EPC installation, and larger in scale.

Direct peers

• IBC Solar: Germany-based mid-size solar EPC and PV system distributor serving residential, commercial, and industrial customers across Europe. Comparable as a similarly-sized, multi-country installer with comparable mix of project sales, premium module/inverter partnerships, and recurring service offerings.

Others

• SunPower / Maxeon: Premium photovoltaic module manufacturer (Maxeon) with whom Project Group holds Elite Partner status for 15+ years. Comparable as a key module supplier relationship that anchors Project Group's premium-residential and industrial offering.
