What SOLV Energy does

Engineering, procurement and construction contractor building utility-scale solar and battery-storage projects.

Paid by project owners to design, buy equipment for and build solar and battery sites, under construction contracts where revenue is recognised as work progresses. Work is mostly won by competitive bid, and a few large projects can dominate a year's activity. Its operations-and-maintenance contracts provide steadier income after the sites are built.

In one line: A pure-play solar/battery-storage EPC contractor.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
