Our take
Solar energy is a rapidly growing industry, and its use is expected to continue to increase in the coming years. Recurrent Energy is a leader in the solar energy space, delivering a platform for the development, ownership and operations of utility-scale solar and energy storage projects.
Recurrent Energy's offering covers the entire lifetime of a solar project, from development and originating to operations, maintenance and management. Founded in 2006, the company is now a subsidiary of Canadian Solar, which is one of the top 5 solar panel manufacturers in the world.
Recurrent Energy has also shown impressive growth, having completed projects encompassing 9 GWp of solar energy and 3 GWh of battery storage. Another win for the company in 2025 was a huge round of funding, which will allow it to grow its portfolio and expand further into the US and Europe.
