About TPC Solar

Three businesses. One accountable partner.

We manufacture our own solar panels, supply the Tier-1 components that surround them, and deliver complete projects as a turnkey EPC. Under one roof, under one contract, under one name.

Founded 2016 · HQ Dubai · Offices in 4 regions · Delivered 500MW+ across 17 countries

The solar industry has grown up. What used to be a pilot project on a warehouse roof is now a ten-figure line item on a sovereign balance sheet. And the buyers have grown up with it — utility procurement heads, sovereign wealth funds, industrial conglomerates building their own grid. These buyers do not need another distributor. They need a partner who will still be on the phone in year twenty-three of the PPA.

That is the company we set out to build. Not a reseller that flips containers. Not a contractor that disappears after commissioning. An integrated energy platform with its own production floor, its own engineering bench, and its own twenty-five-year after-sales organisation — organised around the only metric that matters: does the asset perform the way we said it would, for as long as we said it would?

We chose to be vertically integrated on purpose. It costs more to run a factory than to flip inventory. It costs more to keep an in-house EPC crew than to outsource the build. We do both because the alternative — three suppliers blaming each other when something fails — is a luxury our clients cannot afford, and we are not willing to manufacture.

Who we are

A solar platform built for the second decade of the energy transition.

The first decade of the energy transition was about proving solar worked. The next decade is about delivery — getting gigawatts built, on schedule, against grid constraints and supply-chain volatility. That requires a different kind of supplier.

TPC Solar is structured for that reality. We engineer and build our own module line under the TPC name, so we control quality at the cell level. We hold a curated portfolio of Tier-1 supplier relationships for inverters, storage and grid equipment, so we can specify the right tool for each project rather than defending a single vendor. And we carry the execution ourselves as an integrated EPC, so the accountability doesn't split across three contracts.

The result is a single partner for a project developer who needs to reach COD on time, a procurement head who needs bankable equipment in the country on schedule, and a utility engineer who needs the interconnection to work.

Inside our operating surface

The certified panel range. The EPC crew in the Gulf. The engineering desk in Dubai.

One company, visible in every photograph — across three time zones and three disciplines that used to live in three separate companies.

How we operate

Four principles that govern the work.

01 · Bankable over loudest

Every piece of equipment we specify has to clear the Tier-1 bankability bar. We don't sell grey-market surplus, we don't ship unknown OEMs, and we don't discount past that line. Cheaper equipment that fails in year four is more expensive than the right equipment that lasts twenty-five.

02 · Commercial neutrality

We supply multiple brands in each category on purpose. It means we can tell a developer that Sungrow fits their site better than Growatt — or vice versa — without defending a franchise. Our job is to match the tool to the site, not to sell the tool we happen to stock.

03 · One accountable contract

The worst place for a project to live is between three contracts — one for panels, one for inverters, one for construction — where every delay becomes someone else's fault. We sign one EPC contract. When something goes wrong, there's no finger-pointing because there's no one else to point at.

04 · Built to stay

Every project is a twenty-five-year commitment, not a one-off transaction. Our O&M team stays on the site after commissioning. Our spares sit in regional warehouses. Our warranty claim process handles the OEM on your behalf. You're paying for the life of the asset, not just the ribbon-cutting.

The company at work

Nine photographs, one operating stance.

Every discipline TPC sells — manufacturing, engineering, logistics, EPC, storage, interconnection — is a discipline we execute ourselves.

Chapter I.viii · Frequently asked
What counterparties, journalists and investors ask us

Ten years of building — addressed directly.

We get the same seven questions from procurement heads, lenders, and press. Here are the direct answers, without the marketing caveats.

Who owns TPC Solar, and how is it financed?

TPC Solar is a privately-held group owned by its founding partners and a minority institutional investor admitted in 2022. Capital structure is conservative: equity-funded working capital, bank-financed capex, and project-level SPV financing for balance-sheet-heavy delivery mandates.

We do not have a public-market listing and have no near-term IPO plans. Financial statements, audit reports (Big-Four auditor) and governance details are available to qualified counterparties under NDA.

What is your actual delivered track record — in megawatts, and where?

As of Q1 2026: 500+ MWp of installed and energised capacity across 17 countries, plus an active pipeline of 500 MWp in execution. Full project-by-project register, with independent-engineer certifications and owner references, is provided on request to lenders, IEs and qualified buyers.

Are you a manufacturer, an EPC, or a distributor? You seem to say all three.

We are all three — deliberately. Our thesis is that in emerging-market solar, the customer does not want to orchestrate a manufacturer, an EPC and a distributor across three contracts. They want one counterparty who can be held to one performance guarantee. We built the platform to be that counterparty.

We operate our own 2 GW/yr module factory, our own EPC engineering and construction organisation, and a distribution arm that represents twelve OEMs for BoS equipment. Each business is a top-quartile operator in its own right.

How do you compete with Chinese Tier-1 OEMs on price?

On modules we do not compete on raw FOB price — we compete on landed cost into the region (where regional stock and consolidated logistics beat FOB by ~4–7%), on warranty servicing (local desk, 45-day average closure vs. OEM-direct 90-day), and on bankability with lenders who require a counterparty present in-region.

On BoS we act as a multi-brand integrator: specifying the right equipment for the project's voltage class and ambient conditions, not the one we have an exclusive with.

What is your position on local-content and technology transfer?

Our default operating model in any market we enter is joint venture with a local partner, with technology transfer for assembly, O&M training and engineering-team localisation. In Iraq we operate under a majority-local JV. In Kenya our O&M crews are 92% Kenyan nationals.

Where a government client specifies local-content thresholds, we are able to demonstrate compliance through our regional assembly and O&M operations — not through paper structures.

What is your safety record?

Zero lost-time incidents across 500 MWp of delivered construction work. Two medical-treatment cases and three first-aid cases in that same period. Full audit-grade HSE dashboard is published in our annual sustainability report and maintained to ISO 45001.

How do you handle sustainability and module end-of-life?

We operate a take-back programme for every module we sell — modules at end-of-life are collected and routed to qualified recyclers under a PV CYCLE-aligned framework. Our Scope 1–3 GHG inventory is published annually, and water intensity per MWp of module production is tracked and disclosed in our sustainability report.

Full disclosure is written to CSRD / ESRS signposts — appropriate for clients and lenders operating under European reporting obligations.

"The work we do will outlive every quarter we are judged by. We design, build and specify with that in mind — because a twenty-five-year asset deserves a twenty-five-year partner."
Eliane Li Chief Executive Officer, TPC Solar
