Renewable energy sources are becoming the cornerstone of the global transition toward a more sustainable future, with companies like SolarSK playing a key role in this process. As a leader in the solar energy industry in Eastern Europe, SolarSK is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions tailored to the specific needs of local markets and the challenges of modern times.
We spoke with Yevgeny Yaremenko, the founder and CEO of SolarSK, about the company’s key milestones, project management approach, adaptation to local markets, and long-term vision. He shared insights on how SolarSK remains committed to quality, innovation, and sustainability, even under challenging circumstances, and how it contributes to the energy transition in the Balkans and beyond.
Q: What key milestones would you highlight as turning points in the development of SolarSK, and how have they shaped your current business operations?
A: Since our establishment in 2012 as Solar Steelconstruction, we have consistently focused on delivering high-quality and reliable solutions in solar energy. Starting as a steel processing company, we quickly became a leader in Eastern Europe’s renewable energy sector. Key milestones include expanding our portfolio to over 30 types of mounting systems, including ground-mounted systems, rooftop solutions, carport systems, agrivoltaics, and tracking systems. We have successfully delivered over 4 GW of systems across 30 countries. Our transition to EPC and Light-EPC services enabled us to offer complete solutions, including project installation. Today, we operate across Scandinavia, the Baltics, Eastern Europe, and the Balkans, supported by a dedicated team of over 400 experts and 100 specialized machines. These milestones have positioned us as a reliable partner for renewable energy projects in diverse markets, including the Balkans.
IN FOCUS:
- Legal Framework for ESG Issues in Serbia

Q: How does SolarSK ensure that its products and mounting systems meet strict European quality and safety standards, and how do certifications contribute to building client trust?
A: SolarSK is fully committed to maintaining the highest European quality and safety standards. Our processes and products are certified according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, EN 1090-1,4, and SA8000 standards. These certifications validate our dedication to quality, environmental responsibility, and workplace safety, providing clients with confidence in our commitment to excellence. We continually invest in new technology, processes, and employee training to comply with stringent industry requirements and optimize processes. This approach has helped us build long-term trust with clients and partners across the Balkans and Europe, delivering reliable and sustainable solutions for renewable energy projects.
Q: Can you explain the process of managing solar projects, from design to construction and long-term maintenance, and how your warranties provide security for clients?
A: Our EPC approach ensures seamless project execution, covering the entire lifecycle of solar installations — from initial design to construction, monitoring, and long-term maintenance. We work closely with clients during the design phase to tailor solutions to their specific needs. During construction, we prioritize time management, safety, and quality control. Post-construction, we offer comprehensive warranties and ongoing support to ensure the longterm reliability of the systems. With over 500 MW of completed projects, including a 100 MW installation in Poland and 120 MW currently underway in Latvia, we have refined our processes to achieve outstanding results. Our well-coordinated logistics network ensures timely delivery to any location in the Balkans or beyond.
