What DC-PV does

DC-PV Decentralized Photovoltaics Lda is a Portuguese solar photovoltaic engineering firm founded in 2012 and headquartered in Faro, Portugal, operating as the specialized PV engineering arm of the ASUNIM Group. The company provides three core services: (1) full-scope EPC and owner's engineering for utility-scale and commercial PV plants, including feasibility studies, licensing with DGEG, procurement, construction supervision, and commissioning; (2) turnkey battery storage systems for industrial self-consumption, integrated with SCADA platforms for grid-connected and backup applications; and (3) operation and maintenance services, including the BASE PLAN 5-year remote monitoring and inspection contract. Underlying technology relies on PVSyst production simulation, specialized 3D civil layout software, SCADA integration for battery optimization, and remote performance monitoring — standard industrial engineering tooling rather than proprietary software platforms.

DC-PV serves developers and investors, industrial and commercial enterprises, agricultural operations, public institutions, and a secondary residential segment. The customer base spans tourism, food distribution, cold storage, manufacturing, agribusiness, and schools, with disclosed logos including Zoomarine, FRIMARC, Agrolimoa, Frusoal, Coopérnico, and a 9.7MWp food-distribution portfolio across multiple sites. Geographic reach is concentrated in Portugal with active utility-scale project execution in Turkey (notably the 31.5MWp Artıbir plant, 20.6MWp and 19.7MWp in Manisa) and historical work in Spain. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with project managers issuing custom quotations and personalized economic simulations; the BASE PLAN maintenance offering is the only structured recurring product.

The business is a project-based services firm with very low internal headcount (1–10) and a €10,000 share capital, leaning heavily on ASUNIM Group procurement, shared resources with ASUNIM UK Ltd and YOFI SUN S.L., and subcontracted execution to deliver utility-scale projects. The IMPIC ALVARÁ 90745-PUB public works license is a key regulatory enabler for public-sector work, and three consecutive PME Líder awards (2018, 2020, 2023) signal recognized SME quality status in the Portuguese market.
