Solar Energy — Public Procurement

Solar energy is a growth market in public procurement. Municipalities, districts and federal authorities are investing increasingly in photovoltaic systems on public buildings, open land and infrastructure structures. Procurement covers the planning, supply, installation and maintenance of PV systems as well as the procurement of solar electricity via power purchase agreements.

Typical tenders in the solar energy sector

  • Planning and installation of PV systems on municipal roof areas
  • Open-field photovoltaic system on a former landfill site
  • Supply of solar modules and inverters
  • Maintenance and operations management contracts for existing PV systems
  • Solar thermal systems for public buildings and swimming pools
  • Power purchase agreements (PPAs) for solar electricity

Relevant CPV codes

Challenges in tender discovery

Solar tenders are published under various CPV codes — from energy generation through electrical installation to roof refurbishment (where the PV system forms part of a building refurbishment). Distinguishing between pure module supply, turnkey systems and operations management contracts requires a differentiated search.

In addition, many smaller PV projects are procured below the EU thresholds and are visible only on municipal platforms. Open-field installations, by contrast, often run in parallel through permitting and procurement procedures.
