Solaria enjoyed a period of exceptional growth, with revenues up 43% to 172.4 million euros. The company’s EBITDA followed a similar trajectory, rising by 41% to €153.6 million.

Impressive Financial Performance

Solaria’s net profit also grew significantly, up 24% to 86.4 million euros. What’s more, the positive financial results are a direct result of achieving the company’s strategic objectives and increasing its energy production. In addition, energy production rose from 1,143GWh in the first nine months of 2022 to 1,845GWh at September 30, 2023, marking an increase of 61%.

Strategic Investments and Production Growth

During this period, Solaria invested 261 million euros, a substantial amount that testifies to its commitment to growth and innovation. These investments were mainly focused on expanding production capacity, essential to support continued growth.

Positive market trends and increased competitiveness

A key factor in Solaria’s success is the favorable trend in PPA prices in Spain, which have risen by 50% over the past two years. Indeed, this positive momentum enabled Solaria to sign a 100MW PPA in September, and plan to conclude further agreements in the coming quarters. In addition, the drop in construction costs for solar photovoltaic power plants, mainly due to the fall in photovoltaic module prices and logistics costs, has boosted Solaria’s competitiveness.
Solaria Chairman Enrique Díaz-Tejeiro underlined the company’s commitment to achieving its strategic objectives and contributing to a low-carbon society. He emphasized the importance of favorable PPP price trends and falling construction costs, factors which will enable Solaria to consolidate its earnings over the long term. Indeed, Solaria is maintaining its EBITDA forecast of €200 million by the end of 2023, reflecting its strengthened strategic position in the short, medium and long term.
