Solar Macedonia has grown into one of the country's most influential renewable energy bodies, with more than 120 domestic and international members spanning manufacturers, EPC contractors, distributors, investors and technical experts. The association also operates one of the largest verified training and support centres for solar installers in North Macedonia and maintains business delegation partnerships with several European solar fairs.
