Renewable energy
Part of the Energy & Raw Materials sector
Renewable energy covers power generated from sources that replenish naturally — sun, wind, water, biomass and geothermal heat — along with the equipment, developers and service providers behind it. This hub explains the main technologies and how to find and compare verified renewable energy companies on Digibition.

Overview
Renewable energy groups several technologies that convert natural, replenishing resources into electricity or heat. The best known are solar (photovoltaic and thermal), wind (onshore and offshore), hydropower, biomass and biogas, and geothermal. Each has its own equipment, siting requirements and operating pattern.
The sector mixes products and services. On the product side are manufacturers of modules, turbines, inverters, mounting systems, batteries and balance-of-system parts. On the service side are developers, EPC contractors, installers and operations-and-maintenance providers who design, build and run projects.
On Digibition, equipment manufacturers, component suppliers and renewable project companies publish verified profiles, so buyers, developers and asset owners can discover and compare them by specialization and country. This is general information, not legal, technical, or regulatory advice.
What to check when sourcing
Renewable projects are long-lived and site-specific, so look beyond the headline price. For equipment, confirm the technical specification, warranty terms, certification to recognised standards and the manufacturer’s ability to support the product over its service life. For services, check the provider’s licences, grid-connection experience and references on comparable projects.
Treat performance figures with care: actual output depends on site conditions, so ask how any numbers were derived rather than assuming them. Clarify grid-code compliance, permitting responsibilities and who carries which risks. Many buyers reference recognised product and safety certifications as examples of what to verify, not as guarantees.
Use the directory to shortlist companies by technology and country, then contact several and compare their scope, credentials and responses before you commit.
What to check when sourcing renewable energy
| Criterion | What to look for |
|---|---|

| Specification | Rated performance, certification and material quality on the datasheet |
| Warranty & support | Product and performance warranties, plus long-term support |
| Credentials | Licences, grid-connection experience and project references |
| Compliance | Grid-code, permitting and environmental requirements for your market |
| Service scope | Design, supply, install or operations-and-maintenance coverage |
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as renewable energy?
- Energy from sources that replenish naturally — solar, wind, hydropower, biomass and biogas, and geothermal. The sector includes both the equipment that captures these resources and the companies that develop, build and operate projects.
- Do renewable companies sell equipment or services?
- Both. Some manufacture products such as modules, turbines, inverters and batteries, while others provide development, EPC, installation and operations-and-maintenance services. Many combine supply with project delivery.
- How do I find renewable energy suppliers?
- Use the Digibition directory to filter by this specialization and by country, then open each company profile to review its products, services, certifications and specializations. You can message companies directly, or add several to a quote list and request quotes from all of them at once.
- How should I treat performance or output figures?
- With care. Actual output depends on site conditions, equipment and operation, so ask how any figure was derived and under what assumptions rather than treating it as a guarantee. This is general information, not legal, technical, or regulatory advice.
- What should I verify before a project commitment?
- Confirm equipment specifications and warranties, the provider’s licences and references, grid-code and permitting responsibilities, and how risks are allocated. Compare several companies on scope and credentials before committing.
