Solar
Insights and advisory across the global solar PV market
Enabling the next generation of solar PV solutions
Solar photovoltaics (PV) remains one of the fastest-growing segments in the global energy transition, continuing to break deployment records even as markets evolve and competitive dynamics shift. In 2025, global new solar capacity additions are on track to surpass previous annual high rates — driven by utility-scale, commercial and distributed installations worldwide — and solar is solidifying its role at the core of the clean energy mix.
However, growth patterns are becoming more nuanced. While global capacity continues to expand, major markets like China and Europe face periods of adjustment and competitive pricing pressure due to oversupply and geopolitical influences, redefining market rules and cost structures.
Apricum advises clients across the solar value chain — from upstream materials and manufacturing to project developers, investors and strategic acquirers — combining deep sector insight with transaction execution expertise to navigate complexity and capture value in evolving solar markets.
